Gratitude Collection–CM & Nancy O’Dell partnership continues

(Lots of great new products being launched at CM’s Showcase convention – see this post for details about all of them!)

Updates below the original post

I love Nancy O’Dell!  She is a 4th generation scrapbooker & knows & believes in the importance of album making.  She’s held parties for her Hollywood friends to teach them how to scrapbook – quickly!  She loves CM, too – and has the dates of Showcase (CM’s annual convention) written into her Entertainment Tonight contract!  She could be in Venice now w/E.T. but chose to go to Showcase in Minnesota, instead!

This is just a little bit of the HUGE amount of products being launched at Showcase – CM’s national convention.  See this post for more info & products!

I don’t think this “Believe” album is going to be part of the CM retail line.  If you want one you’ll need to find a CMC that attended Showcase & ordered one to sell. 

Create a Legacy!

Legacy - leg·a·cy [leg-uh-see] plural -cies.

anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor: the legacy of ancient Rome.

How in the world do you create one of those!?  Sounds hard – doesn’t it?!  It’s not – really!  Scrapbooks are the perfect place to record and hand down your own legacy.  

How many times do you tell your children things –not just “take out the trash” types of things but really important things.  If your kids are like mine then you know that no matter how many times you tell then something they may not be hearing it. Even though my boys hear my words I know they’re not yet of the age to truly understand or appreciate some of them. With my hopes and wishes for them safely preserved in my scrapbooks I take comfort knowing that they’ll always be there – waiting to be read when my boys are ready.     Our scrapbooks are filled with family stories, our traditions and history. They’re also filled with photos…lots of photos!

There is a great interview with Rhonda Anderson, the co-founder of Creative Memories, on the Blissfully Domestic blog.  She talks about creating a legacy, scrapbooking and her faith filled life.

It is never to late to get started creating your legacy!  If you need supplies please visit my CM website. 

If you need help – please let me know!

I’m looking forward to helping you celebrate your memories!

Fall 2011 Camp Crop-A-Lot Registration is Open!

Below you’ll find the registration form for our weekend retreat at the Novi Sheraton.  It is a wonderful weekend filled with lots of fun, ideas, great food & company!  You can view more information about the weekend at our Camp Blog here:  www.cropalot.blogspot.com

Please note that you’ll need to register by September 1^st to get the Early Bird price & save $15!

If you will be coming to Camp Crop-A-Lot with me you may be interested in participating in an optional activity that is a lot of fun - a Goody Bag swap.

To participate in this event you need to bring one gift for each person in your group (including you) and these would be swapped on Saturday with the gifts from the other people in your group.  You’d bring home one of each of the gifts contributed in your group (including one of your own). Final numbers will be determined after sign ups are finished – but I like to keep the groups around 10 people. 

Past gifts have included items for scrapbooking, pampering items, snacks, handmade items, store-bought items – we always get a wide variety of items.  Let me know if you have any questions or need more info!

The deadline to sign up for the goody bag swap is September ^1st.  To participate you can email me and/or mark your registration sheet.

Free gift with your $25+ order through July 28th.

I love a good sale & apparently I’m not the only one!   

Thank you for the great response to the sale so far! 

I’d like to send a gift to everyone that orders at least $25 during the FANtastic sale (ends July 28th.)  If you're local & can pick up your order @ my workshop in Westland I am happy to order for you so you can save on shipping (best if you're spending under $100.  I charge 8.5% on all orders – CM online charges $8.50 on orders under $100 and 8.5% on orders over $100.)

I'm ordering tonight (July 22nd) and July 28th.  If you're ordering close to $100 or are not local you can place your order via my website & have it directly shipped to you.  I'll mail your gift to the address your order ships to.  You can let me know what you're working on and I’ll send something to go with that or I can send you a surprise - your choice! 

Here is a link to my CM website.   Please email me your order by 9 p.m. EST this evening – otherwise I’ll order it on the 28th.  My email address is Lisa.Graham @ sbcglobal .net  (remove all spaces.)

Amy R. was the first to place an order during the sale & I’ll be sending her an extra special gift.  Thanks, Amy!

All items will be made with CM papers and adhesives – and created by me for you!  Thanks for being the ♥ of my business!

UPDATE:  (I’ll update as I get new info)
