We had so much fun at CHA this past week! It's always exciting being able to see all the newest releases up close and in person. It's such a challenge deciding what companies to purchase from and we so wish we could but it all (doesn't everyone). We did our best and are still in the process of choosing some. We'd like for you to check back as we list what we have purchased and post it once it is in the store.
As an independent store, we realize the competition out there in terms of "Big Box" stores, I won't mention any names...but we know you, as the consumer could probably get some items you'd like sooner at one of these stores since vendors ship to these "big" accounts first. We run into this all the time. Angie and I would like to say THANK YOU so much for supporting us (the little guys). We do not want you to think we place our orders late, when in fact, we may place our orders before these large chains. In this industry they get top billing. As frustrating as this may be, it is what it is, and we are asking you, our loyal customers, to be patient as we too will have the best product to choose from. Being scrapbookers ourselves, we know just how difficult this may be, especially because we all get so excited about the "new" lines and product.
Also, please keep in mind that we do listen to our customers. A lot of our ordering comes directly from customer input. This is the benefit of being an independent store. Please let us know via email, facebook, etc. what you'd like to see in our store. We do our best to accommodate you always.
