how great is this mini album by alissa?  it's one of those way fun envelope journals by 7 Gypsies.  check out this awesome sample in the 7 gypsies area!

this super cute circle paper mache box houses a "thankful" circle mini album. it's a "carly design" and guess what, lucky "paper party" attendees each got to make the inside mini book this past weekend!  (we have a free "paper party" the 3rd saturday of every month...call us at 360.715.3125 to reserve your spot!)

All kinds of new goodies!

So I walk into our backroom this morning and squealed!  Are you kidding me! We have boxes and boxes of brand new fun goodies!  How do they keep coming up with such awesome products! I'm absolutely in LOVE! 

These are the fun new papers by Flair...I just totally dig the paisley! Such motivation to make totally cute Christmas cards!

And one of my all time favorite companies is 7 Gypsies! They have outdone themselves!  New additions to their way popular sticker line (my personal favorite is the "Joy"), way cool trinkets and lots of awesome rub-ons!

For real, could Scenic Route come out with anything more fun! They just introduced a fun new series of papers with coordinating chipboards and papers...sooo in love. Several of us were literally squealing this morning. Silly, but true.

This is just one of the new paper lines by Scenic Route...(can you see why we're in love!)

And then, the amazing new book by Stacy Julian has arrived! It's called the "Big Picture " focusing on "the big picture" of our life and how it's reflected in our scrapbooking.  We sold six within minutes of unpacking it...so we have a feeling it's going to be a little popular! You have got to check it out...and we surely will more on order. Stacy is absolutely inspiring..it's a must for all of us!

So are you drooling yet? Well come on and visit us and check out all these new goodies! I can't wait to start playing!  --Elizabeth 

Maxwell's Surgery!

My nephew, Maxwell, underwent heart surgery today and it went fantastic!  We're so proud of our little Maxwell!  Thank you to everyone who sent wonderful thoughts and prayers his way -- it made a difference!

A Thanksgiving Tradition

So I had the pleasure of "chit chatting" with two fun customers tonight...not only did I get to show off pictures of the new babies in our family, but they also shared with me an incredibly fun idea!  Each year, the gals in the family gather together on Thanksgiving Day and create a craft together. Last year, they decorated the "wooden books" (do you remember how much fun we all had with those!) and this year, they are decorating paper mache mail holders.  What a terrific memory to make...and each time, they see their creative treat, they'll be reminded of this very special time together! Thanks Shari and Tara for sharing this really special idea with us! -- Elizabeth

P.S. I can't wait to start this tradition in my own family! 

Lil' Maxwell's Hearts

Thank you to everyone who made a heart for lil' Maxwell (my 5 month old nephew at Children's Hospital who is awaiting open heart surgery)...his room has the hearts sprinkled all over!  Thank you Sara for such a cute idea!  --Elizabeth

P.S. Max's heart surgery has been postponed again this week because of high fever/infection. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers...we need him to get better soon so they can move forward with the heart surgery!

Joining the "blog revolution!"

So we finally did it!  We joined the "blog revolution!"  How much fun is this going to be!  This blog is authored by all the gals at Treasury of Memories!  The latest products, our newest creative project, and our random thoughts...this is going to be so much fun!  --Elizabeth

P.S. How much do I love getting to make the current masthead -- a perfect avenue to show off my lil' guy!
