We're feelin' hot, hot, hot!  I don't know about you, but I've been indoors much more than I'd like to be this summer, but at least I can sneak a little scrapbooking here & there (I've been working on my own baby album).  We've had a busy start to our summer here at the store, especially with the Freedom Dash, which was a blast!  We're gearing up for our Weekend Crop, a Shop Hop and more!
 
We're off to CHA next week, so keep an eye out for new products and sales in the store.  We've got the air cranked here - stop in to cool off!
In-Store Events
It's Hot Around Here!
 
Our Weekend Crop is here!  Join us this weekend for some extended scrapbooking fun!  The $65 fee includes two dinners and breakfasts, prizes, discounts, raffles, tons of cropping and fun, fun, fun!  You can also upgrade to a full-sized table for $10 more, or join us individual days instead of the whole weekend.  Friday only is $20, which includes dinner and prizes.  Saturday is $30 and includes breakfast, dinner, prizes and the main drawing, where we'll be giving away $100s in prizes!  Sunday is only $15 and comes with breakfast and a layout contest (and more prizes).  Be sure to sign up to reserve your spot!
 
We're offering several All Ages Crops this Summer for only $7 including lunch.  The next dates are Mon 7/26, Tues 8/10, Wed 8/18 and Mon 8/30 from 10am to 6pm.
 
Our next Cricut Club Crop is Sat 8/14 from 10a-9p.  This event is free for Club members!  Not in the club?  Don't worry - we also offer our regular Saturday crop for only $8!
 
Guess what... we're having another Overnight Crop!  You've asked, and we've answered with a fun night of cropping on Sat 8/21.  You can crop during the day (10a-4p) for only $6, or can join us from 4p-6a for $22.  The overnight portion includes dinner, beverage and a midnight snack - yum!  Of course, we'll be raffling off progressive prizes - the longer you stay, the better they get!

Ok, ladies, I know you're busy this Summer.  There aren't any Ruby Rock-It entries this time.  But we know several of you had fun Brenda W's entrywith the Pitter Patter contest!  Amy Osiecki won in the boy category, and Brenda Werlinger takes the prize for the girl entries
with her ABC album.  We need to give an honorable mention to Shirley Levin for her Shirley L's entryamazing pink baby book!  I'm hoping she and the other winners let us borrow their projects for a bit to share with our customers.  In the meantime, you can find larger images of these projects on our Monthly Challenge Page.  All of the entries were inspiring and beautiful, so I'm giving a little something to all those who entered!
