Save the Date for the Open House

Are you planning to join us this year for our Anniversary Open House?  There will be so many fun things to see/do.  Here is just one of the free Make and Take cards we will be offering:

We have ordered from a new stamp company that will be unveiled at the Open House, but other new goodies we have ordered have started to arrive and we are putting them out on the shelves.  If you want to get a sneak peek before the craziness of Open House, now is your chance!

Anniversary Open House
Mark your calendars and plan to join us as we celebrate lucky 13 years as your local stamp store with a fabulous open house on Saturday, October 15 from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

To show our appreciation for your support throughout the year, snag a FREE goodie bag just for stopping in (one per household, please).

As always, we'll have a Community Outreach Project benefiting the Embry Rucker Community Shelter (see the details at the bottom of the page). You'll receive an extra ticket for our fabulous door prize drawings (these large bags of goodies are over and above the bags you'll receive just for joining us). And, we have TONS of new product and a brand new company for your shopping pleasure! 

This year, we are overflowing with FREE, fun things to do! We have 6 incredible demos, and 4 FREE make-and-take projects - the most we've ever tried to cram into a single day. No reservations are required, but come early and plan to stay all day - you won't want to miss out.

The demos are scheduled as follows:

Many of you enjoy Make and Take projects, so we wanted to provide those as well! The make-and-take projects will be self-directed, but all the supplies and instructions will be available for your use. These projects are available while supplies last, so come towards the beginning of each session to ensure your participation.

Make-and-Take projects:

There will also be refreshments and lots of new product to excite you! 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 continuing to support small business! It's a privilege to be your local stamp store!
