Sounds like we're in for some nasty/nice weather, depending on your viewpoint! When I was still teaching, snow days were like little gifts from heaven. Now, they're a pain in the you-know-where!
Anyway, we still plan on having a huge weekend here at Scrapbook Generation. Our free love mini-album class on Saturday has tons of people signed up for the five sessions, but we can always fit in a few more!
And don't forget our fourth annual Super Bowl Sale this Sunday. Everything in the store will be 20% off! Stop by from noon until 6 p.m. and shop all you want. We'll also have several door prizes you can register to win!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the photos of Scrapbook Generation's class projects for February are posted at scrapbookgeneration.com. We have some great classes coming up!
The next couple of days, I'll be working on designing the free class for Saturday -- the 6-page love mini-album. We'll be using glitter, but I'm also adding in that great new product -- glimmer mist -- that everyone is falling in love with! If you want to attend one of the five free sessions, just give us a call at 417-886-0440. We'll learn some fun stuff, and you'll leave with a great project that could even be given as a special Valentine!

BasicGrey has arrived at Scrapbook Generation! We have both the Two Scoops and the Infuse collections, including papers, rub-ons, clear stamps, chipboard letter sets, and chipboard mini-albums.
We also received a new shipment of Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. Our first supply sold out quickly, and we now have 27 more colors! There is a swatch of the real color on the back of the bottle, but you can't see the beautiful swirly, marbled, metallic, shimmery colors until you shake the bottle and mix up the metallic particles with the rest of the liquid. Greatest product I've seen to instantly transform raw chipboard into something special!
We also have a supply of the Making Memories supply carousel, which has lots of openings to stack tools in, and also six drawers for smaller supplies, and sits on a swivel base. I got one for Christmas, and it's a super addition to my scrapbook table. Everything I need is within reach.
And a heads-up for Friday. We'll be getting more Doodlebug and Fancy Pants items, plus tons of Valentine's/love embellishments by Jolee's, Bo-Bunny, and other companies.

Wow! Saturday at Scrapbook Generation was like a party! We had over 50 people attending the Hall of Fame sketch sessions (at four different times!), people attending the Scrapbook 101 class, and just lots of shoppers! At times, there was almost a roar, and it's been fun to watch people get to know each other through the activities we have here on Saturdays.
Next Saturday (January 26), Allison will be teaching "show-me how" sessions, and the topic is journaling cards. This is a project she designed as part of her Scrapbooker of the Year entry, and it was so cute that I talked her into letting us convert it into a class. Having a distinctive page embellishment like this might even keep you from letting your journaling be an afterthought on your page. With the addition of die cuts, ribbon, and faux stitching (that looks remarkably like the real thing!), this journaling card can be a great addition to any page. The sessions are held at 10, 11, 1, 2, or 3, and the best part is that they are free. We provide everything you'll need!
Changing the subject, by the time I finished picking out more Glimmer Mist colors, I had almost 30! They should arrive Wednesday or Thursday. And I also forgot that the BasicGrey order coming in tomorrow also includes most of the Infuse collection.

A couple of quick things...
1 -- BasicGrey's "Two Scoops" collection will arrive mid-afternoon on Tuesday. In addition to that collection, there are papers, rub-ons, clear stamps, sticker letters, every set of chipboard letters that they make, plus some really cool shaped mini-albums.
2 -- Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels is the coolest new product I've seen in ages! I tried out the candy apple red, and it's gorgeous. Spritz, spritz, spritz, and my plain chipboard word became red with golden metallic highlights! On a sheet of grungeboard, the look was more marbled, and so pretty! The neat thing is that it seems as if every one of the zillion colors it comes in has a different story to tell. Someone at the crop last night used bubblegum pink on chipboard, and it was a beautiful pink with white/silvery highlights. So cool! As soon as I get off of here, I'll be ordering as many more of the colors as I can. We started off with 11, and that's just a drop in the bucket!

January continues to be a huge month for us at Scrapbook Generation, with more new goodies coming in almost every day! Here's a peek at the latest...
-- Tattered Angels: Glimmer Mist! This is a new, trendy product, and at least one of those bottles will be going home with me tonight! In the photo, the bottles look dark, but perhaps you can see a little metallic sediment at the bottom. When you shake the bottles, the liquid changes to a beautiful, bright, swirly, metallic color, and we have 11 different shades. This new product is acid-free, and as the name suggests, gives paper products a glimmer effect.
-- Flair: The "Keeping the Faith" collection of papers and stickers.
-- Creative Imaginations: five new travel groups (Florida was the one I couldn't think of a couple of days ago), plus four new general groups including stickers and chipboard letters.

Wednesday, for sure, Scrapbook Generation is getting 11 colors of Glimmer Mist, by Tattered Angels! Also, on Tuesday, travel collections for Ireland, Paris, Hawaii, Mexico, and someplace else I can't seem to think of right now, plus several general (and beautiful) collections by Creative Imaginations.
I have the greatest news to announce about Scrapbook Generation's two spring retreats in Branson! Many of you have heard me rave about the food at the retreat a friend and I attend at Osage Beach twice a year. My news is that we have been able to entice the caterer there to provide the food for both our retreats!
The caterer is out of this world! She fixes meals designed to match the theme of the retreat, and the food is so yummy, and is displayed and served in such a creative way, that you feel like you've just attended a fancy party. We always anxiously await each meal, and can't wait to see what she has come up with to fit the theme. And in addition to tasting so great, everything looks so cute that we always take pictures of the food!
We believe this final addition will make our retreats one of the best events in the country. From decor, to food, to prizes, I don't think anyone can beat us!
The March 14 retreat is sold-out, but if you want to have a super time scrapbooking for a whole weekend, and being pampered on top of that, consider registering for our March 7 retreat! Call us at 417-886-0440 to sign up.

I thought I would give you a heads-up on an exciting new tool: the Crop-A-Dile "Big Bite." This "souped-up" version of an already great tool includes what we've all wanted, a longer reach -- 6 inches! I've ordered 20, the suggested price is $39.99, and the expected ship date is March 28. As with many new items, they sell out quickly and then the manufacturer has a hard time filling re-orders. In anticipation of that, we'll be happy to take pre-orders from any of you who would like to have one of the Big Bites as soon as we get them.
Also, our distributor has let us know that they have an exclusive limited run of the EZ Pull ribbon purses in RED! We've ordered 12, and if you want to pre-order, you can. They are supposed to ship to us at the end of January.
Another product you can pre-order with us is the white Making Memories supply carousel, priced at $39.99. (I got one for Christmas, and I love it! It twirls, has open sections for tools to stand up, and also has several drawers for tiny items.) We have 8 ordered, and we'll be getting them sometime, I just don't know when.
For any of the three items, give us a call, or stop by, to pre-order.
Finally, we are supposed to be getting in an order of a trendy new product you spritz on your papers and other materials, called "glimmer mist," by Tattered Angels. We have about 10 colors coming in, and I think they may be here on Wednesday. I'll let you know for sure on Monday.
