It's nice to be back at Scrapbook Generation! Like many businesses in Springfield, we were closed Tuesday and Wednesday, but did manage to reopen on Thursday. Drew went home with me on Monday and stayed until we were able to get out on Thursday. We had great fun working puzzles, building with blocks, playing games, watching movies, and baking cookies. However, he was SO glad to get back to his house and his mom and dad -- I know, because he told me many times!

I wanted to remind everyone about our Super Bowl Sale this Sunday. It's the only day of the year when EVERYTHING at Scrapbook Generation is 20% off! The sale starts at noon and last until 6 pm. Hope to see you here!

Other news:
-- Allison and I will be appearing on Fox 27 television sometime between 7-8 am on Monday, Feb. 9. They asked us to show several Valentine products.
-- Along with Midwest Family Broadcast Group, we are finalizing two more Scrap-a-Palooza dates for 2009. Right now, it's looking like early June and mid-September.
-- Tons of new Valentine stuff will be coming in mid-week, including the Love Notes group by Making Memories, the True Love collection by Doodlebug, and the Sweet Talk collection by K & Company.
-- We still have openings in both the March 13 and March 20 retreats in Branson. We know that money is a problem for many people this spring, and as always, we can work out payment options for you so that you don't get hit with a huge sum all at once. (The March 20 retreat is nearly full -- only 5 spots available.)
