June Updates
 |
Can you believe that June is already half over? Time is just flying, and it makes you realize how how fast life can pass you by and you start to appreciate the little things. I have had the past few days to spend with my parents who came to visit and I realize how much I miss them. We really do need to do this more often. We need to celebrate the memories we have made and we need to take the time to create the memories!
Speaking of celebrating, we are excitedly awaiting our shipment of the newest issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today! We LOVE this magazine!! They should arrive any day now, and they will be available for you on Saturday, June 21st. They do not last long, so don't wait to stop in to get your free copy! Catherine and team have been hard at work reformatting the magazine. They have also been building a new website and blog that will launch on June 21st. We can't wait to see it!
