I'm not sure what to get the most excited over...gas at the Kum & Go across the street going down to $2.99, or the great article that Pamela Spradlin from the News-Leader wrote about Scrapbook Generation that was in the southwest supplement yesterday! If you missed that publication, the article and photo will also run in the daily News-Leader; we just don't know what day. It's also online.

Pamela did a super job of taking all the information we gave her -- sometimes all four of us talking at the same time -- and organizing and condensing it into a very informative and readable story. The former journalism teacher in me gives her an A-plus!

We've been going crazy around here this week getting the October kits ready, and also doing last minute preparations for our first of two weekend retreats in Branson this weekend. We think our Hollywood Lights theme is going to be lots of fun!

Update on product arrivals:
-- Rusty Pickle: Halloween group arrived today and will be out on the shelves tomorrow;
-- Chatterbox: all those mini-albums and matching goodies that I told you about after CHA arrived today, but we didn't allow ourselves time to even open the five big boxes! We'll work on getting that stuff priced and out sometime Monday;
-- BasicGrey: another of the new collections is heading our way and should arrive early next week;
-- Little Yellow Bicycle: the Christmas collection should arrive soon;
-- Crate Paper: all three new collections should arrive soon.
