What is this Carolina Shop Hop?
What is it? You ask. The first EVER Carolina Shop Hop for rubberstamping, scrapbooking & paper arts!
It will run from October 16 - 27 and has 11 stores in the Upstate and Western NC participating.
ALL shops will have free make & takes AND 20% off their crafting supplies! WOW!
The organizers have compiled some gifts to give for those who visit 8 or more shops as well as those who visit all 11 in the 2 weeks! YES! FREE goodies! Who doesn't like that???
The cost for a ticket is a mere $15.00. With the ticket (which will be stamped at each store visited) there will also be a tote bag with the Carolina Shop Hop logo (to carry around all of those fabulous deals you will get at each store).
In an earlier post, I listed some of the extra things we will be doing for our 'Home Hoppers' (those who purchase their ticket from The Mercantile.) These includes an entry into a special drawing JUST FOR 'HOME HOPPERS' for a $30 Mercantile Gift Certificate!
We are also having a tag contest, rules are available in an earlier post, or at the Mercantile. (I just finished running off some more copies...)

A new writer for our blog
Mary is an avid crafter, and especially adept with the Copic Markers (she has her Intermediate Certification) & is an Art Impressions Design Team alum, with a love of their watercolor technique. Tim Holtz is one of her favorite designers & she is a new member of the Oozak Design Team. If it is made with paper & color, Mary is interested! Stamps, punches, inks, embossers...
And, most of all, Mary has a bit more time than we do to be able to post about techniques & goings on. Terri & I will still contribute to the blog as we can.
Please feel free to ask questions and comment on any of the posts. That is how we learn from our customers & followers.
Thank you Mary for agreeing to help us keep up to date on the blog!

Saturday Night Make & Take


What a fantastic evening!
We had a crowd of rubber stampers join us after the Heirloom Rubber Stamp and Paper Arts Festival for an evening of Make & Takes.
A good part of the evening was standing room only. There was a selection of 10 Make & Takes (9 cards and 1 bracelet). Laughter abounded and a great time was had by all.
I neglected to get a photo of our door prize winner with her prize, but she is in the photo at the counter in front of Terri.
We'll have to go in a little early today to prep more Make & Take kits for this afternoon.
