Final Scraps…December 2009

December 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

With the holidays rapidly approaching we have added several gift items to our classes offered. Take advantage of the FREE classes and FREE space in order to get those gift items completed before the holidays.

We have also added classes during the day so those of you that HATE to drive the roads on winter nights can now take advantage of these fun classes and getting out of the house. The RETREAT was so much fun and I enjoy spending the time with “my BFFs” and hope to add you to our group with the upcoming retreat in March and April 2010.

And a BIG SHOUT OUT to my BFF Stacy Bachali-our scrapbook celebrity that joined us for the first retreat weekend. Thank you for ALL your help and for all the laughs—I definitely needed them! You are the BEST and I am grateful for your friendship!

I hope you are happy and well this Holiday Season and that you find peace with any challenges that face you. Thank you for shopping LOCALLY and for supporting AAM…your business is appreciated!

Merry Christmas and Happy Scrapin’

BRING ON 2010!

Final Scraps…October 2009

October 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

Join us this month for our SHOP AT HOME event promoting employees and customers SIDE BUSINESSES. We want to encourage our customers to keep their dollars here in the Flathead Valley by supporting your local businesses. We will be giving away prizes and have refreshments—and you can get your holiday shopping done early!

Thank you for your support of our annual SCRAPpink 2009 fundraiser. We had a TON of fun and gave away over $500 worth of prizes. Barbara is a 5 year cancer free breast cancer survivor and she brought her entire family to support the cause AND was able to complete her wedding album in the entire day. What an inspiration to us all!

I love fall…no I’m not happy about the turn of cold weather but I love the colors of fall. The reds, oranges, browns…it just inspires me to work on those unfinished projects and scrapbook layouts I have been itching to finish. So bring it on!

I was able to surprise my BIG sister for her birthday last month and even invented a NEW game…While visiting we had some updated family photos taken by my talented brotherin- law and I felt inclined to share. Thank you for your continued loyalty shopping locally. Your business is appreciated and hope to see you soon.

Final Scraps…August 2009

August 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

As summer begins to wind down I am starting to plan some of my fall projects. Not to mention the events we have on schedule…Mr. Pickle, SCRAPpink 2009, and our two Scrapbook Mountain Retreats. We have also added a SHOP AT HOME EVENT to help promote the employees here at All About Memories. We will also have a few other tables available for other vendors to promote their businesses. This event will give you a jump start on your holiday gift giving, classes to create your own gifts, or come for the huge sale. We will offer it in October and November for your convenience.

Our classroom is also available for your use during business hours and as always our FRENZY nights are FREE—Saturdays until Midnight! And are CLASSES ARE FREE—just purchase your supplies.

The dream and vision for this store has not changed! I wanted to offer the space to friends (at no cost), the large inventory to find that perfect embellishment or paper for your projects, and the friendship of sharing your photos, lives, and stories with me. I have been truly blessed with dear friends (new and old…not that you are old…just old friends), and the ability to share my story with you. Please know from the bottom of my heart…I am doing the best I can for you. For those of you that have stood by me through this journey I will forever be grateful.

Thank you for your continued loyalty shopping locally. Your business is appreciated and I hope to see you soon.

Final Scraps…July 2009

July 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

Is everyone else feeling that summer is almost over when it seems it just began?!  Maybe because its one of those years where I have so many TO DO’s and not enough TO NOT DO’S. (tee hee)

Last Monday night I got a call from my youngest brother, Mason and he called to tell me his wife was in labor at the hospital. He asked me to come and be a part of their big day…first baby and all. I was excited and drove all night to get to Pullman, WA before the baby came. I made it about 4 am and was able to drop off a camera for them to have available. At 9:40 am PST my newest niece arrived in a RUSH—Myra Aurorah Mae 7 lbs and 19 inches long. I was happy to share in this day with them and was able to take some photos that they will have to remember the special day. Thank you for allowing me to be with you…I will cherish the memory always!

What a good reminder for you to take advantage of our classroom and get those photos out of the boxes and onto the page. Our classroom is also available for your use during business hours and as always our FRENZY nights are FREE—Saturdays until Midnight! And are CLASSES ARE FREE— just purchase your supplies.

Is spring here yet? Oh wait its suppose to be summer this month. June 21st is the 1st day of summer…also my wedding anniversary. We chose this day to make it easier to remember. At the time we didn’t know that our good friends, Harvey and Barbara Reikofski were also married on the same day (Shelly’s parents). This year they are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. WOW…what an accomplishment and a

great example to my generation that “love CAN bear all things”. Happy Anniversary to you both…we love you and are thankful you are a huge part of our lives.

The Scrapbook Mountain Retreat was a great success and I want to thank my loyal customers for always supporting these ‘OUTSIDE’ function hosted by All About Memories. Due to the HUGE response I have added a second weekend to the fall schedule…so be sure to ask for details next time you are in or call the store.

This summer we have extended our store hours to accommodate the longer days so be sure to stop by, or bring your visiting relatives by for a gander.

The last weekend in April is the retreat at the Double Arrow Resort in Seeley Lake, MT. I can honestly say that I NEED THE TIME of relaxing, scrapbooking, and being with friends. Maybe to just regenerate the batteries.

This month is our ANNUAL GARAGE SALE so get your scraps together, those tools you aren’t using anymore and bring them in here for us to sell for you. Whatever items sell you will receive an gift card to use in our store. This opportunity can help you UPDATE your scrapbook supplies and don’t forget… what may be junk to you may be a treasure to someone else!

Final Scraps…March 2009

March 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

Wow what a scary time in our world today. I like the rest of you have lost hours of sleep over the state of our country and pray that a solution is around the corner. With that in mind I wanted to do my part in reducing stress and worry about doing what you love so we are offering all of our classes at NO CHARGE…just purchase your supplies.

That way you can still craft to your heart’s content, without the guilt of it costing a whole lot. The exception is CARD CLUB — I provide all your supplies to make 3 cards at the cost is just $5. We hope this change of events helps you in still creating and no cost to you…guilt free!

Thank you for your continued support of All About Memories, can you believe its been 4 years next month that we opened our doors at the warehouse. And the changes we have seen! I am trying the best I can to provide you with the BEST and NEWEST scrapbooking products to accentuate your life’s moments. The one thing I will be forever grateful for is the MANY MANY friendships I have made along the way. I found this quote while flying home from California last month and I am compelled to share it with you.

“The Courage of Integrity…the highest courage is

to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity.

Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience,

and truth over popularity…these are the

choices that measure your life. Travel the path

of integrity without looking back, for there is

never a wrong time to do the right thing.”

Final Scraps…February 2009

February 1, 2009 By Kathy Leave a Comment

If you haven’t been in the store for awhile come in and see all the changes we have made. We have also been receiving shipments of NEW PRODUCTS that you will LOVE and will just have to have.

Don’t forget that we have been offering FREE FRENZY nights since we opened our doors. We know times are hard and that is why we will CONTINUE to offer FREE FRENZY NIGHTS, and why I don’t charge any CLASS FEES for CLASS DAY. It is our way of helping stimulate your creative time, and let you ‘get away from it all’ for a few hours at AAM.

Thank you to all the dedicated counters for INVENTORY… you are the best and the staff and I really enjoyed getting to know you better… Patty, Debra, Cassandra, Hollie, Sheila, Barbara, Stephanie, and Deanne.

The staff members put in hundreds of hours and got done several days before  projected… YOU ROCK! Jeanne, Shelly, Joanna, Aimee, Sami, Angela, Kristy, and Katie.

Be looking for us in the Whitefish Winter Carnival parade on February 7th at 3 pm. We had so much fun doing the parade in Columbia Falls that we signed up for the Whitefish parade. We will be handing out coupons, and prizes so be looking for the LARGE camera…Thank you to Jerry @ Country Muffler 892-3496 for volunteering countless hours to help set up the float and for pulling us in the parade without knocking us off (almost…tee hee)

Your business is appreciated and we hope to see you soon…
