The daily news

I has been a hectic week. The LSS owners were at a conference in Edmonton this weekend and I worked my first full days there. I got so many pages done! (for me anyways.. I'm notoriously slow) The downside was the only other employee quit.. without notice.. so I covered her shifts this week and had to bring in Tyson. He's walking now which makes it a little harder but at least I have a job I can bring him too.

In other news, The business is registered, PST applied for, municipal licence taken care of, name approved etc etc.. the paperwork you have to go through! But I'm glad it's all dealt with.. I just have to wait for some final forms and Voila! Ordering shall begin.. The first kit is already planned out.. the inspiration came from some beautiful leather flowers I found... It's going to be good. The plan is for a monthly kit of paper, ribbon, embellishments etc that changes form month to month (duh bri) and then a few project kids, and my favorites... the random kits. These ones will be when I get totally inspired by a new line, or product and then put together a kit I KNOW you all would love.

SNEAK PEEK.. the first random kit is all about texture.. the products are meant to necessarily be put together but to introduce people to different textures when scrapbooking.. so exciting!

happy valentines day!

Well another day of celebrating love has come and gone. I received some lovely gifts from my honey, and hope you all enjoyed your day too! I have some good news too... WON A TRIP TO VEGAS!! i know i know, some people have all the luck eh? My family's always going off about how I have "horseshoes up my a**" because I won a car 2 years ago.. and quite a few other things in between. And I'm going to share with you my secret.. Enter the Contests! I will drive across town to buy three Campbell's soups to qualify. And local ones are better, because you have a higher chance of winning. So there it is. The secret to winning. Good luck.

Crop night last night

So it was crop night at thr LSS store last night... 6-12pm.. very late for me considering I usually go to bed pretty early but so worth it! I didn't sit beside my usual people so I actually got a few pages done! I'll upload them here in a few. It has been a long week.. everyone's been sick and I've been grumpy because I hate being sick! I was so upset about creative escapes too.. i was all prepared to shell out an obscene amount of money and it sold out so quickly I couldn't! Maybe next year I guess...

So the applications for names for the new company have been sent, kit preperations are underway.. planning colors and embellishment etc. is more work than I thought it would be. I spent alot of time second guessing myself, and my style, to try and appeal to the masses before I realized thats exactly what I didn't want. It's more to appeal to those who want to stretch their boundaries and try new things without totally giving up theit own style. I just want to encourage people to "think outside of the box" with their scrapbooking. So wish me luck.. leave any suggestions/tips/comments for me. I appreciate any feedback you have!

the beginnings

well well... it it time to announce that a new scrapbooking kit company is being formed as we speak. I've been thinking about diving head first into the scrapbooking world for awhile now, and finally decided that now was the time. I will be providing fresh, funky, classic and crazy combinations designed to stretch your artistic abilities. Its about time the world got its first glimpse of me!
