Just4funcrafts.com

Yesterday I was scrambling to get some unique products for upcoming classes that are not generally available in quantities I need at scrapbooking stores. So, I called upon Jenn over at Just4FunCrafts for yet another order! I just can't say enough wonderful things about Jenn and the amazing customer service I have received from her over the past few years. Sometimes when I'm in a "creating frenzy," I just don't think about the big picture (like where am I going to get 50 red safety pens, 25 purple spiral fasteners and 8 yards of Robin Egg Blue Waxed Linen).

Jenn, the owner and operator of Just4FunCrafts has gone above and beyond to serve and accommodate me time and time again. I just wanted to take a few moments to share a great on-line store with you and Thank Jenn for taking such good care of me over the past few years. Please visit her blog (she is a true artist): http://just4funcrafts.blogspot.com/ and her on-line store: Just4FunCrafts. While you are there - place an order and tell her Susan from MSD (Master Scrapbook Designs) sent you! You'll be happy that you did!

Life's little inconveniences...

On Friday I lost my Black Berry (aka - my lifeline). All my email messages for Friday were sent to my BB inbox. I did not have access to any email messages sent to me on Friday and now have no way to retrieve them.

Usually, I am pretty on top of things. If you happened to send me an email, text, IM or even leave me a voice mail, PLEASE contact me again at info@masterscrapbookdesigns.com.

I have made arrangements to have my phone replaced...so I'll be back in touch with you soon! Thanks for understanding!

Ice Cream sounds....

almost as good as a Margarita (subtle, huh)! Seriously, just wanted to let all you great Master Mini Book Students know that I will not have my past class kits with me this month.

A have a few class kits left...

...that I will be putting in the on-line store this afternoon! This kit is a "Sistaz" theme that contains the following words: Sistaz are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach. The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still. When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end. Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in and carry you out. Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisterz, sisterz-in-law, Mothers,Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins and extended family, all bless our life!

This kit is packed with product! Comes with step-by-step directions and color photos. An amazing value at just $29. Click here to see the complete project: Sistaz. Order on-line in the Master Scrapbook Designs Estore.

Local customers can avoid shipping cost and pick-up their "Sistaz" Kits at Scrapbooks, Etc. Just select that option when checking out!

Heads UP!

Just wanted to let you know that I will be closing both the On-line store at http://www.masterscrapbookdesigns.com/shop/catalog/ and the blog store front on Thursday because I will be taking my entire kit inventory to the Scrap Sistaz retreat this weekend. If you have had your eye on any kits, you may want to order them this week.

Thanks!

Intern Lia...

As usual I had just TOO MUCH to do today! Lucky for me my cute "Intern Lia" came by and I put her right to work stapling directions and punching stars. Thanks so much Lia! You are the best intern ever. xoxo
