This always happens after the trade shows... we anxiously await the arrival of all the new products we ordered.  Some ship to us right away, while other companies make us wait until September or later (always a bummer).  But each time we see UPS or FedEx, it feels like Christmas.  It's started again, and I'll be sure to keep you updated on our blog.
 
Vote4theBestIn a recent newsletter, I asked you to vote for us as your favorite Arts & Crafts store.  I thought the voting ended at the end of July, but I was mistaken.  You can still vote (if you haven't already) until August 29th!  Please remember to vote for Scrappy Chic: Vote 4 the Best on WDIV's website.  For those of you who crop with us on Fridays, you can also vote for Rocky's Rotisserie in the New American Food category!
Scrapbook Leagues

We have opened registration for the Fall leagues, and are excited about how much interest there is already!  We will be offering Leagues on Mon, Tues, Thurs & Sat.  The weekday leagues meet weekly, and there are two Sat leagues that meet every other week.  Find out more information about the leagues here.
 
Are you interested in participating?  Contact the store to sign up as a single or as a team.  Leagues start the week of 9/8/08, and payment will be due by  Sun 8/24 to confirm a spot.
Featured Manufacturer
Jolee'sEK Success 
 
You may know EK Success as Jolee's.  But they are more than that.  EK makes cutting tools, punches, stickers (Sticko), embellishments, adhesives (Herma), paper and more.  They just released (and we have in stock) their new gigantic punches, including a 3" scalloped circle!  We also have their new white chips (which work great with Glimmer Mist, by the way) that match up with their punch shapes.  But back to the Jolee's - we're offering 15% off all Jolee's products with the coupon below throughout the month of August!
New Product Update
HallowhimsyKeeping it Hot! 
 
Here's a little post-CHA summary of what's in so far.  We received Hallowhimsy (some of my very favorite Halloween Snowy Jopapers) and Snowy Jo lines from Imaginisce.  The new Digital Scrapbooking book is in stock from Scrapbooks Etc., and includes a free digi kit!  We have the MM Spellboundnew Limited Edition colors of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (gorgeous Fall colors).  Making Memories sent us the new Spellbound Halloween line as well.
 
Pink PaisleeI was very excited to see the new Pink Paisley lines arrive!  Vintage Moon and Pop Fashion are just amazing (we all agreed on these at the show).  We also Mairzy Doatsreceived three new lines from Dream Street Papers - double sided dreamy paper!  Some of it would be awesome for zoo pages.  We are expecting the new lines from American MenagerieCrafts to arrive as early as Tuesday, and look forward to the other new goodies arriving this week!

In-Store Events
Scrapbook Auction 
 
We appreciate you!  If you've been in the store this past week, you already know about our Auction.  We'll be holding our 2nd annual Scrapbook Auction on Sun 8/17 at 1pm.  To participate, shop with between now and 8/14 to earn ScrapBucks.  You'll earn 5 ScrapBucks for every $5 you spend on merchandise (before tax) to spend at the auction.  We'll be bringing out bunches of goodies from the back room (product samples, bump & dent items, store giveaways, etc.).  You get to bid on the items, auction style, and have a great time!
 
Here's the fine print...  You can earn as many ScrapBucks as you want, but each participant may only bring 200 ScrapBucks to bid with at the Auction (hint: give the rest to a friend and bring them along). 
 
One of our customers is hosting a Breast Cancer 3-Day Fundraiser on Sun 8/10 from 12-6p.  The cost is $20 which includes food.  Contact the store to sign up!
 
Our next Cricut Club Crop will be Sat 8/9 from 10a-9p.  This event is free for Club members.
