It's All A Blur

So what happened to April?  I'm sure I'm not the only one who couldn't really say where the month went.  I only have foggy recollections of racing from one recital practice to another, and squeezing baseball and t-ball into an already busy "extra curricular" schedule.  In just a few more days half of my kid's afternoon lessons will become "last years" news, and I'll be able to breathe again!  (Somebody please remind me next year that I should not put anything on the calendar except kid functions from April 1 to May 31st!)

Meanwhile,  I'm dreadfully behind in keeping you up to date on all the goodies that have been coming in.  I've also neglected to remind (nag) you of our May 17th Crop 'N Shop, which is just around the corner now!!  This is not the one to miss!  If you'll recall, I've planned on this session including my Annual Garage Sale and Clearance Sale!  To register and STILL take advantage of the Early Bird Special, go to
www.snippinsnapscrap.com, and click on "Crops and Paper Parties", then select the Crop 'N Shop tab.  Now it's important here to note that you should IGNORE the deadline mentioned for the Early Bird Special, and proceed to take advantage of the still LOW registration being offered!  (I'm way too busy to change that price right now, so grab it while you still can!)  We'll be at Schley Grange Hall this time, which always offers plenty of room!  If you don't feel like packing a lunch, then be sure to pre-order one from the web site.  If you can't come to crop, you should still plan to drop by and shop the exceptional deals that will be there!  (List of my clearance items to follow in about a week.....)

Oh, and what about all the new goodies and the fact that National Scrapbooking Day is upon us (Saturday!).  I'd planned (clearly unrealistically) to offer a great sale on some wonderful new arrivals, and to post that for your shopping pleasure this weekend.  It's now painfully clear to me that I'll be unable to get that "brochure" together at this point, and that I was frankly, kidding myself.  (Recital weekend means I've got costumes to prepare, make-up to do, and hair to put up, not once, not twice, but three times over a 48 hour period, not to mention the 4+ hour recital itself that I'll see three time!)  

It does occur to me as I'm writing this, that perhaps there is a solution.  This scenario could be a bit like getting a late birthday present, which I don't know about you, but I've never minded.  I'm thinking you'll be swamped with offers this weekend from all the big boys like QVC and the like, and my special offer will likely get lost in the shuffle.  Maybe if my "special gift" arrives next week, you'll be able to focus more on it.  (This is also my standard comfort line for anyone sending b-day presents late...)  We'll just refer to this as the National Scrapbooking MONTH Sale!  (See how I've taken all the pressure off of us all....we can now enjoy our hobby whenever we can get a second this month, and feel that we've participated in the celebration!)  I've got some storage items, tool totes, albums, and some fun NEW collections from Fancy Pants & Moxxie planned as part of my celebration.  (I'm just trying to let you know what to keep your eyes out for....)  This new plan is just so crazy it might work!

So to wrap this up, watch for specials all month, make plans to come by Saturday May 17th for the Crop 'N Shop, and take some time this month to enjoy your papercrafting!
