looking forward to the coming months

In addition to the 10th birthday hoopla we have coming up in October, we had a family/business meeting last week and did our best to plan out the big events for the rest of the year. Here's a brief overview of what SG has in store for you, and a preliminary timeline!

July:

• a new service-oriented card-making project that will warm the hearts of those who participate, and those who receive

• a "garage sale" to help our local customers find new homes for supplies they no longer want or need

• a plan to gather donations of paper and stickers for hospitalized children and/or nursing home residents

• a renovation project that will include better lighting in the store (finally!)

• an additional option in the Super Sketch Club

August:

• an additional weekend crop, based on your requests and the fact that the one already scheduled is sold out and has a good-sized waiting list

October:

• a 10th birthday celebration on Oct. 3-4, including classes with Prima educator and mixed media artist Ken Oliver

• two new sketch books by Allison Davis and Debbie Sanders: a double-page Christmas layout book, and a Christmas card and tag book

November:

• a full weekend of classes on Nov. 14-15 with technique-guru Tammy Tutterow -- you'll recognize her from the beautiful tutorials she designs for each issue of CREATE magazine

As soon as possible:

• grand opening of the gallery available on our website for you to use to upload your layouts and other projects
