My Mind's Eye Class was a Huge Success

Everyone had so much fun with Madison and his wife Keisha at the Memorial Day weekend class. He gave away tons of free stuff and made sure everyone had a great time. Can't wait to do it again! Here are some photos from the classes:

LaserCut Designs Titles

Check out these rare titles, everyone is always asking for Universal Studios titles and now I can simply point them in the right direction when they ask, yay! Plus there's Busch Gardens, Disney, and Star Wars titles, oh my, what fun you're going to have the next time you come visit the shop!

Got Junk?

If you've got it, we want it! No, I am serious, we really want your junk! To benefit the Lutz Guv'na Charity Fund, there will be a HUGE Flea Market on Saturday, June 7th at the Lutz Community Center on SR-41 from 8:00am - 3:00pm. I know you have been dying to have a garage sale to get rid of what's collecting in your garage but why bother, just throw it in the car and dump it off on Saturday and we'll take care of it for you. Plus, while you're there, maybe you can buy some new junk :)

We could really use some volunteers this day. Set up starts at 7:00am and we need people to help set up and then work our booth throughout the day. If you can spare an hour or two on Saturday, June 7th, we'd love your help! No experience necessary.

Basket Auctions

We currently have several baskets sitting on the back tables of the shop. Why, you may ask? Because we're auctioning them off to the highest bidder. This is basically a preview of what you will find on Saturday, June 14th at the crop. You are able to bid on the items we have at the shop right now and the bidding will end Sunday, June 15th after the crop. We will have tons of items to auction and some even come in a very exquisite Longaberger basket. Be sure to check them out at the shop or on Saturday, June 14th at the crop!

Special thanks to Sue Rinaldo for lining up all these great donations and even donating some herself. She has been a HUGE help and we can't thank her enough! Thanks, Sue!

The Future Guv'na is a Strong Force to be Reckoned With

Denise is as tough as they get! Want proof? Just look at how she can touch her nose with her tongue, can you do that? I didn't think so!
She's on a mission and no one will stand in her way!

Wanna help out? She needs all the help she can get, e-mail her and she'll put you to work.

Lutz Guv'na Kickoff Dinner

The Lutz Guv'na race has finally begun and Denise is a fierce competitor. She has decided to go with an American Idol (her favorite show, Go David Cook!) spin-off theme titled "Lutz Guv'na Gives Back." We will try to continue to be creative with it but so far that's all we've got. With a crop in the works and half way filled up, she is ready to rumble with the rest of the contestants. Look out Lutz, here comes Denise!

Here are some photos from the kick-off dinner, special thanks to Bonnie (a loyal customer and friend) for all your help. I was told her homemade cake was the absolute best!

Her theme and logo:

Making signs:

Super cute, mom:

We were required to blow up ballons, stuff her trousers and win some money. All in the name of charity!
Yay for balloon stuffing!
Look, she made some money:

Oops, I Forgot Something

When I blogged about all the great new My Mind's Eye product, I somehow missed this gorgeous line. It's in the "girly" section rather than with the other My Mind's Eye product so I guess that's why I missed it but either way, I thought it necessary that you see it. I just love it, but then again, I am biased, I love everything!

Something I Made Today

I have been making a lot of cards lately and my friends just adore them. I decided that I should share things I make with all of you. I figure if they're good, you can maybe get some ideas from them and if they're bad you may not be able to get any ideas but you can at least feel better about your own work. So good or bad, here's a card I made for my friend Stacy's wedding. I used the colors of her wedding rather than traditional white, I like to try and make everything personal.

Just Arrived: Creative Imaginations Product

Lots of pretty new Creative Imaginations product to come in and buy. Trust me, you'll love it!

New Cooking paper and stickers:

Birthday paper and journaling stickers:
Love this! Beach paper with gorgeous colors:
Retirement paper featuring the slogan "Old Guys Rule," too cute:

This paper is sooo pretty, you have to come see it:
Gorgeous black and white paper:
Pretty use of these colors and I love the edges:
