This is the last 2 page spread designed by Evonda Botka. It's beautiful dark colors are perfect for all those snow pictures you've taken.

I was able to squeeze in a little crop time this week so I designed this month's page kit. Remember these are only $5.00 and are limited in quantity.

These pages designed by Mary Todd will coordinate with the Flock and Glitter 101 class to be offered in April. Just wanted to give everyone a peak at Mary's work.

This is February's page of the month kit created by Becky Turner. We still have a few in stock. So cute!

Just a sampling of Katy's Kustom Kreations. She has been making hairbows for about 6 months. The large flowers are her latest designs. She will also do custom bows, just in time for Easter.

Just a sample of the scrap page ideas we will complete on March 6th. Bring your leftover and scraps and go home with 12-2 pages spreads.

This two page spread designed by Tina Bohac is perfect for you upcoming Easter photos. She has utilized many different ribbon techniques to make these pages one of a kind.

I just received 12 packages of cricut mats. Hurry in while supplies last.

Instructor, Evonda Botka, has decided to take a break from teaching while she pursues another job opportunity. Evonda has provided solid classes and projects for the last two years and I appreciate all she has done for me and the shop. You will still be able to catch Evonda and her latest projects on Friday night crops.

With that said, I would like to introduce our newest instructor, Mary Todd. She is a new face at Precious Memories but brings years of creative experience to the mix. Mary is a very talented scrapbooker and I look forward to the new ideas she will bring to her classes and projects. You will be able to get a taste of Mary's talents on Mar. 10 when she presents the Free Make & Take that day. It is a cute favor for St. Patrick's day. This project is limited to the first 10 so don't miss out.

Ribbon 101 class is this Saturday. If you have a lot of ribbon in your stash and run out of ways to use it, this class is chock full of great techniques. We still have a few seats available. I will post the kit picture in the next day or two. Perfect for your Easter photos.

Another small shipment arrived today. More spring and new Jolee's along with some staple items that have been out of stock. No cricut supplies yet but should be soon! I am also working on the March newsletter. It should go out in the next couple of days so watch those mailboxes!

Another mini shipment arrived today. Large die-cut footballs, baseballs and basketballs from Reminisce along with their Easter paper. The die-cuts are life like and will be perfect with your sports pages. The Easter line is so cute with a cartoon like bunny on the feature paper. The Jenni Bowlin vintage buttons also arrived. These look like they are right out of Grandma's button box in 6 great vintage colors. 2 more page accents from Paper Loft as well as bowling, heart-beep and picture frame paper. Stop by soon and check out these and all the other CHA arrivals!

Finally ran across the recipe everyone wanted from the New Year's Crop.

Chicken ala Christmas
6-8 whole chicken breast (boned and skinless) cut in half
1 strip of bacon for each piece of chicken
1 glass jar of dried beef
1 10oz can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup of sour cream mixed with 1/4 cup of flour

Grease crock pot. Line bottom of crock pot with dried beef. Wrap bacon around chicken and secure with a toothpick. Layer bacon-wrapped chicken in crock pot. Mix soup with sour cream and flour, then pour over chicken. Cover and cook 10 hours on low. Serve over noodles or rice.

Two shipments arrived yesterday! The Lucky Me line from Little Yellow Bicycle is wonderful. I has a Celtic feel in green and navy with clovers and horseshoes with a touch of bling. This is a great collection for many different themes from 4-H to love and of course St. Pat's Day. Other new product includes 4-wheeling, wedding and In Loving Memory. A few new spring papers were in the mix as well. The bulk of one shipment was basic items that I needed to restock. Most of the American Craft solid paper collections are back. The solid cardstock is full and all the adhesives and other basics are replenished. Another new product in the solid paper line is the white wash paper from Core dinations. These are great springy solids washed with white on the top. These will be great for embossing, sanding, distressing and much more.

Another small shipment arrived today. Flutter from Making Memories, it is there spring collection. Just received a partial shipment. Also several new stickers from Karen Foster, wedding, basketball, volleyball, loving memory, off road, doctor and more.

Just received a shipment from Paper Loft. It is there new lines Back Country, now and then and Grandma's House. These are great if you love neutrals with a touch of vintage. The Back Country features a lot of the outdoor activities we are involved in when the weather is warmer than today!

It is with great regret that I inform you of the closing of Rusty Pickle. This has always been one of my favorite companies even though Lance was a little hard to get along with. I will miss there cutting edge product.
