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

I love your sketches and was wondering if these end up in the Scrapbook Sketch books in the store! I've just found your store and started collecting them. Thank you!

Thanks, everyone, for all that enthusiasm...it's heartwarming!

Karen, in the beginning, the sketches we used for activities at the store were used in the sketch books, but now, with the huge number of people in the Super Sketch Club that also get the monthly sketches, we do totally new ones for the books. That way people aren't paying for duplicates. -- Debbie
