What a Wonderful Wednesday!

We are just back from our too short but amazing vacation.  I am rested up and ready to get back to work.  Is it wrong to admit I missed the shop?  I had limited internet access on this trip and it was nice to disconnect for a few days but I realize I'm an internet addict.  I could be found standing in the middle of the Canadian Rockies with my iPad searching for the tiniest bit of a signal.  And I may have paid $4.99 for a half hour of internet last Friday so I could place some CHA orders online in a tiny internet cafe in Banff.

You can see all of my adventures on my personal blog.

Back to the updates!  (This is going to be one of those posts where I update throughout the week so keep an eye on it.)

First, the products that came in while we were gone:

Echo Park Victoria Gardens

Pink Paislee Mistables
Authentique Papers
Epiphany Crafts Tools and buttons

Pre-Order Updates:
October Afternoon - we were told the line was shipping late last week but as of today we have received nothing.  Since the company is at CHA we will not have an update until they return.  I am hoping to have them ship this line as soon as they get back.  For anyone with a pre-order for this line, your orders will ship out as soon as the product comes in.

SMASH books - EK Success left me a message while we were gone stating that the orders have not shipped yet.  They are waiting on a few of the Folios to come in before they ship the orders complete.  This is for ALL orders for ALL stores.  We will update everyone as soon as we know when they are shipping and when we'll receive them.

CHA New Releases:  (This is where you need to watch for updates  ;) .......)

We know everyone is eager to pre-order a lot of the more popular lines.  We will be preparing the Pre-Order section this week and will begin adding lines that will be shipping in the next few weeks.  This will give you an idea of whats coming.

We've had a LOT of requests for the new Studio Calico lines.  These are not scheduled to ship until late August/early September.  Due to the demand, we will put these lines up for pre-order this week but please note they will not ship for another month.  We will process the orders for these lines like we always do.

So what can you expect to see this week in the pre-order section?
KI Memories - new Glitter Stickers, restock of the last release and new keepsake pockets....

Pink Paislee - 3 new lines (Nantucket, Vintage Vogue and Phantom)

Basic Grey Nordic Holiday

Basic Grey Indie Bloom

Jenni Bowlin

Cosmo Cricket Clementine

Cosmo Cricket Dear Mr. Claus

Echo Park Happy Days

Fancy Pants

Lily Bee (added to the pre-order section on 7/20/11)

Studio Calico

All of these lines are due to ship within the next couple of weeks.  As we confirm ship dates this week, more lines may be added so keep an eye on this post.

In other news......

Happy Birthday!

TO US!

Thats right.  4 years ago I was laid off from my lucrative job in IT and during my 90 day layoff period, I came up with an idea.  I had such a hard time finding the products and lines I wanted to work with that I looked into buying an established online store.  When that fell through, I took some advice and figured 'Hey! I can do that!' and put my plan into action.

Now, 4 years later, I'm amazed at the growth and friends I've made.  I've had the opportunity to meet some fabulous people, designers and customers.

Without you, we wouldn't be here today.

So we celebrate you, our supporters this month!

January is a HUGE month around here.

Why?

1.  Its our Birthday but YOU get the presents!
2. A brand NEW Design Team 
3. Stash to Treasure GRAND OPENING
4. CHA is right around the corner
5. Prizes to give away

You might want to stick around this month.
