Registration begins Monday

The registration for our 2009 Summer Passport Event will be open from Mother's Day (May 10) until Father's Day (June 21). The Inspiration Station will be closed on Mother's Day so you can begin registration on Monday May 11 at those stores.

We are all busy at work creating the pages for the custom made 6 x6 tabbed chipboard album that is included with your purchase of the Passport. I hope to get some photos up soon. Meantime here is a sneak peak at what we have planned.

The album is designed to hold the pages from all 9 stores. If you are unable to visit all nine, don't worry. All of the stores will carry the papers used in the project, so you can pick up the colors you are missing and make your own pages to fill in.

We have also designed the album to open from the bottom to be displayed on the optional acrylic stand. However, it is easy enough to turn the pages before adhering them down to create a traditional side opening album if you prefer.

As for your shopping experience... all 9 stores are stocking up on new and exciting products! I can assure you that even if you go to all 9 stores, you will find something different at each one! That is one of the great things about independent stores vs. chain stores; each store has it's own unique style and product mix.

We are looking forward to a summer filled with new friends.
