More Inside News!!

I know I am late as usual with blogging but here are pictures of the inside of the store. The beaded crosses and the windchimes are items I had made from a craft show I did a while back. The windchimes are made out of old bedsprings..."springs of the past."
Today I am closed and catching up on housework...My DH is being so patient with me about all of this. He has been so helpful. Without his support and the HELP and support of my family I would never have been able to open on time. One niece drove in from Louisiana to help set things up and ended up entering hundreds of items in the inventory list on the POS system. I would have never been able to enter it all in time.

My son not only helped with inventory himself earlier in the week , helped with marking and arranging. Then helped with customers all day on opening day. The city offices were closed and he used his day off to be there. My DH brought us all that was working on Saturday evening rib-eye steaks with salad and the works up to the shop for dinner that night. He was amazing!!!

They all were...I can not even begin to thank them enough. Two of my Best friends came the weekend before and worked too. They missed out on the steaks but ate all the customers Hershey's kisses that I already had on my counter..LOL This week Margie even brought me some to fill the bowl back up!!! Aren't friends super!! Thanks for dropping by and if your ever in the area please drop by and say hi! Pam

Storefront!!!

This is the store front...we still have to hang our sign in front and this picture was taken minutes before we hung letters on the glass front with the name. the next picture was my DH worker hanging the letters ( cricut) for the Moda Fabric. We teased him that he will have to join the classes... As you see alot of fabric is on back ordered.

I am fixing to send this picture to CDS so I can start ordering from them for the storefront!

I have had withdraws from stamping...and contests with them! LOL More later! Thanks for stopping by. Pam

It's starting to look alot like....

Grace, you stash goes out with the snail tomorrow! Shawne..my email is craftcrossing@GVEC.Net. Please let me know your address so I can get your prize out to you. I am also going to send you a business card to show OUR slogan!!! LOL Pam

it's for REAL!!!

Sorry it's taken me so long to post again...These pictures of the inside of the shop are so outdated now. We have slatwall up on all the walls, the POS counter is up...inventory is being checked in...just not out yet! The pic of the display windows up front wasn't very good...there is actually a third display window to the left of the left front door. I just have to figure out some cute displays without fading the items with sunlight!! I will get busy and take some pics of the how much it has already changed. As you can see the pic with Jacob my grandson at our family Christmas party that the holidays were full with family and friends and good cheer!!! Slowed me down with the shop but it was a GOOD thing too because I got to enjoy all of my family too!!! I hope you all have a safe and Blessed New Year!!! Shawne..I still need your snail mail address for your prize from the contest!!! Hugs and Best wishes to you all!!! Pam

Winner/Winners??

I chose two different suggestions...
I took part of Shawnes suggestion and tweaked it with Graces!!!!

Craft Crossing
Cross on over to your Crafty side....
Where fabric meets paper & everything in between!!!

This will be centered better in the middle of the business card and then all the regular info like
phone #'s, etc will be in the corners... So what do you think? Sorry it's taken me so long to decide
but things have been so hectic especially with the holidays on top of things!!! I promise I will be get better about posting as soon as I can...Just bear with me a little longer..like maybe after Christmas!!! LOL In a couple of days I will post some pictures of the empty inside of the building.
Then I can show you pictures of fixtures piled around and full boxes of stock that is screaming to get out and be inventory and hung!!! LOL Again...this will be done in a few more days!!! ROFL
AS soon AS...AS soon AS...hear me chant....AS soon AS...I am woman hear me roar!!! AS soon AS... !!! Shawne...I need your snail mail !!! You can email it to me at craftcrossing@GVEC.Net. Grace I have yours! Thanks for the help ladies!
Layne....can ya hear me now!?! I did it....Geez...sisters..especially OLDER sisters!!!LOL

Non-fattening! Eye Candy

Sorry I am late with this posting but things have been hectic! Here is the eye candy I offered to the suggestion I choose so come on girls and leave me a comment!

Have a blessed day! Pam

Let's Talk Turkey!

Here is one of my cards I have done for Thanksgiving. Some of the family received some that I have done for Challenges and I am giving them those. The rest get this one. My TOPS group got a different turkey out of the same set that is exercising with a barbell and says Jazzer Turkey. These adorable turkeys are from Clear Dollar Stamps. The cardstock and DSP are from Stampin' Up and are colored in with Stampin' Up markers. The ribbon is SU and is one of the In Colors called Dusty Durango. The leaf buttons are some unknown brand that I had in my stash.
NOW..Let's Talk Turkey...I need the help of all you talented ladies out there. I have mentioned in earlier posts that I am opening a scrapbook/stamp/fabric/general craft store. Sorta like a teeny tiny Hobby Lobby here in my hometown.
The name of it will be Craft Crossing. I need a slogan or something on a business card that explains my name and what all I will be selling. The name came from all the different type of craft items that I will be selling. Can any of you creative souls please help me out??? I am going to offer some blog candy to the one who comes up with the slogan or suggestion that I choose to use.
I will post what all the blog candy will be tomorrow after I gather it all up. So, Leave me a comment with your ideas! Thank you so much for dropping by. Pam
