Shop Hop Reminder

This should be LOADS of FUN!
Good morning fellow creative people!

We have so much fun planned for the Carolina Shop Hop!  Mary & Cindy are holding eClips demos and Make-n-Takes on Saturday.  (The two of them were both recently certified as eClips Instructors by Sizzix!)  The demos will be at 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM & 3:30 PM... the Make-n-Takes will be between the demos.  The demos will last about 15 - 20 minutes each so there will be plenty of time for you to play with eClips generated goodies!

Don't forget, we will be OPEN special hours on Sunday (10/21) from 1 - 4 PM!

The remainder of the Hop Terri, Cindy & Mary plan a variety of Make-n-Takes so that when you come back for your 2nd or 3rd (or 4th) visit, you will have a different Make-n-Take to enjoy.

There are prizes drawings for those who visit 8 or more shops as  well as those who visit all 11!  We have some FUN things up our sleeves and cannot wait to share with all of you!
