Anniversary Open House
Mark your calendars and plan to join us as we celebrate our eighth anniversary with a fabulous open house on Saturday, September 10 from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. (Please note that we have moved the event to September this year)! To show our appreciation for your support throughout the year, snag an amazing goodie bag just for stopping in (one per household, please). You will also receive a ticket for our drawings for additional prizes, which will be awarded every 20 minutes! Receive additional door prize tickets by participating in our Community Outreach Project (see details at the bottom of the page). And, check out our two NEW stamping companies for your shopping pleasure!

This year, we're switching things up a bit and offering a morning session of FREE demos and a fantastic trunk show. This session runs from 10:30 - 12:30 and includes the following:
Session I - Demos & Trunk Show
Trunk Show with demos featuring Verses Rubber Stamps
Breathtaking Brayering Techniques
Cutting Machine Demo complete with Sandwich Chart! Bring your dies to stump the teacher!

Many of you enjoy Make and Take projects, so we wanted to provide lots of those as well! The make-and-take session runs from 2:00 - 4:00 PM and includes the following projects for one low price - $20.00:
Session I - Make-and-Takes
Accordian Christmas Ornament
Spectacular Craft Organizer
Never-ending Card
Stair-step Card
Please call the shop to check for registration availablity: 703-435-0051

You don't have to reserve your space for the Morning Demos Session, but you must purchase your ticket for the Afternoon Make-and-Take session in advance, and spaces are limited. Everyone can enjoy the refreshments, door prizes, shopping and stamp swamp, but only ticket holders will be admitted into the Make and Take area. Refunds are cheerfully provided up to 48 hours prior to the event.

By popular demand, we will also be hosting two Stamp Swaps during the day - the first at 12:30 PM and the second at 4:00 PM. For each swap that you can attend, bring a new or gently used stamp that you won't be using any more. Please bring it wrapped so that it will be a surprise! We will then play a fun swapping game, and everyone will get a new stamp! Please see Angela if you have questions about this wacky, but fun, event. No need to sign up in advance.

As you can see, we have quite a day planned. We hope you'll save the date and plan to join us so we can thank you in person for making our eighth year such a pleasure!
