Karen has been MIA!!!

I have officially fired Karen from the blogging world. I have not been keeping a very good eye on her because she hasn't sent a new blog since JANUARY!!! So I told her she no longer can blog. I don't think she was very upset. It takes her a long time to type. So I am going to try to do a better job than she has done in the past. Our kids were suppose to go the the pumpkin patch today on their field trip but it obviously was canceled due to the rain. So I got to stay at work today and unload the new merchandise. I opened up 7 boxes from DCWV. Also all the new K&Company stuff came in. We are going to price it tomorrow and have it out. Great new albums, papers, embellishments and cute little organizing bags. Don't you just love to organize? We also got in the deep cut blades for the Cricut Machines. Our Love To Crop Hate To Shop crop is already half filled so if you are interested in coming you need to call ASAP. The crop will be like our Mega Crops it will be on Friday, November 28th the day after Thanksgiving. This will be our last Mega Crop for the year. We will be back on schedule in January for more of them.

Have you all signed up on www.cropscene.com website to get entered to win free stuff? This is a customer appreciation thing from EK Success, K& company, Inkadinkado and Martha Stewart. They are drawing a name everyday and giving away prizes. All you do is sign up on that site and you are entered. Also they are sending us Make N Takes for November 15th to do. You don't have to plan to come on November 15th to sign up on their website.

We are still receiving new products from the CHA show in July. Karen said we are expecting some more seasonal items in. I told her we need to be thinking about a end of year inventory sale. With the POS system we have to scan every item in the computer to make sure we have the correct count. YIKES!!! SCARY!!! So I would like to be low on our inventory so we don't have to be here for a week like we did last January when we got the POS machine in the first place. What a nightmare that was. So Karen is thinking about it not sure what she has planned. Like usual it will be last minute but worth the wait.

We still have room in our Christmas in October workshop. Great projects this year. Even my favorite the Bazzil In Stitch's sewing. I just love to sew on my pages and use all the great flower templates and borders they have. I feel like I can really sew!!! Not that I am gonna start making clothes or anything. It is on Saturday, October 18th 5:00-9:00p.m. We will have lite snacks, drinks, door prizes and a lot of fun. All materials are supplied for 13-15 different projects. We are even gonna do the one that Karen needed all the Sonic cup holders for. The cost is $30.00 all you need to bring is your workshop kit to complete the projects.

Well enough blogging for me today. This has taken me about 6 minutes to do I am sure Karen would have been here for about 1 hour. She should have paid more attention during typing class. And I should have paid more attention in English, sorry Mrs. Fontaine!!!

C-ya later, Mary/Daisy Lane

Where have I been???

I just discovered if you hit enter after the title instead of tabbing to the writing space it publishes what you typed. Oops. Sam and I are waiting for the bus. I am trying to get and updated blog for you all. So much for regularity. Our new POS system is up and running. We are still tweaking all that it can do. So far it looks to be a great asset to DL. Connie has our new Valentine's displays out. You should be thinking about your kids and your Valentines. Here is just a little something I do for my boys (includes Travis). I make up a scavenger hunt in a rhyme type poem. At each clue I hide a small prize ie. juice box, crayons, rummage sale finds. The poem always starts out roses are red violets are blue here is a Valentines day hunt for you.
So just in case you don't have enough going on you can work on this for your crew.

Mom and I are heading out next week to Ohio to order craft supplies for the store. We will be bringing in things like poster board, beads, seasonal supplies and much more. This is do to the large number of requests that we get from people looking for things with out having to go out of town. Let us know if there is something you are interested in see here at DL.

The January Mega crop is filled up. However we are offering one in both February and March. These 12 hour crops are a great way to jump start your year by getting a lot of work done. So make sure you call or stop by to sign up.

Gotta go the dishes and laundry are taunting me again. Have a great week. Karen
