We had a great time at the Dream Weaver Lodge in Chama, NM last summer. We liked it so much, that we  reserved the dates for the summer 2010 Retreat of Good Fortune:

• July 8, 9, 10 & 11 (Thursday - Sunday)
• July 15, 16, 17 & 18 (Thursday - Sunday)
• July 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 & 25 (Monday - Sunday)

 The first two retreats are four-day weekend retreats, followed by the ever-popular week-long retreat. We have the prices worked out (call the store for details), with payments starting in September 2009. A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot for one of these retreats. We only have a few spots available in the four-day retreats, so don't delay, call us today for details!

We will have our annual National Scrapbook Day this year at the Three Rivers Banquet Hall, 107 E. Main (just three doors down from the main entrance to the restaurant). They have a nice big room for our scrapbooking event and parking in the rear of the building (with a back door to cart your stuff in to the facility). They will be catering this event and the food is excellent.  We also have access to free coffee, tea, water, and soda all day long, so we should be well saturated! There are also alcoholic beverages available at the restaurant that you may purchase if you want to indulge!

We are working on two special guests for this event and will let you know as soon as they confirm.  If they can't attend because of busy schedules, they will send their project ideas anyway, so it will be lots of fun.  Our theme for this year is "Sunshine and Lollipops" and the colors are bright and vibrant.

May 26th is the actual anniversary date for 10 years in business.  It has been a long and difficult road with all the downturns in economy as well as events in the USA that affected many businesses.  We felt the crunch many times, but just kept on doing what we love to do - scrapbooking with our friends! So, we want to kick off the month of May with a fantastic National Scrapbook Day event and then continue to party throughout the month to celebrate this fantastic feat of still being here after all these challenges.  We have lots of cool projects planned for NSD as well as some fun make and takes.  Sign up early to reserve your spot for this special day. Call the store for details!

We recently met with Patsy Gaut, owner of Quick Quotes from Chehalis, Washington.  She is a delightful lady and has some great products that we love working with. She sponsors a 3-day Quick Quotes Private Reserve at several locations in the United States each year. We were fortunate enough to attend the one she put on in Arizona in November, 2009.  After seeing just how amazing she is, we talked her into coming to New Mexico to share her talents and ideas with the ladies in our state.  We have picked out the classes that we want her to teach and they are going to be fantastic.  She will teach 4 classes and we will have three make and take projects as well.  She plans to be done by 5:00 p.m. and then we will have the rest of the evening to crop and have a good time. We have contacted Elizabeth, owner of Scraps Galore to co-sponsor this fun workshop. We are still working out the details of the location, but it will be in the Albuquerque area.  Meals will be on your own. At this time, we believe the price for this event is $125.00 for 12 hours of fun, fun fun! The price is depending on the location we finally secure, as well as Patsy's costs to come to New Mexico. After attending her workshop and enjoying her product line, we feel this is a fair price for what everyone will be getting.  There will be prizes for everyone as well as a grand prize. Call either Heart to Heart Scrapbooking or Scraps Galore to secure your spot.  If the price changes, we will let you know. We hope to see you there and plan on enjoying some fabulous projects!

Saturday, March 20th, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.

This is a perfect opportunity to come in and meet our teachers and see the great projects they have planned for the coming quarter. This event is free and we encourage everyone to attend.  We will  have 3 make and takes that showcase some of our teachers and their classes.  These are free to our great customers as a way of showing just how much we appreciate you and your support.  Don't forget, you get a discount on all classes that you sign up and pay for at the Kickoff. This can add up to quite a savings, so well worth the effort! Mark this date on your calendar and plan on joining us for a preview of the wonderful classes our teachers have planned for April, May and June.
