craft, & stamping supplies. We also have gifts and ready
made crafts available. We offer classes at the shop and at
our twice a year conference. Check with us often to find
out the latest we have to offer.
The Alzheimers has progressed to where we had to put him in a
nursing home. It is so sad to see him in the condition he is in right
now and then have to be so far away. Talen is doing good. Still
hasn't gained much weight but as cute as ever. Just about the time he
thinks I'm OK, I have to head back home. Rylie is doing great!
She is walking on her own now but still wobbly. Her eyes tend to
cross but she sees the eye doctor this week so maybe we'll know more
after he looks at her. The shop will be open this week Thursday -
Sat. Still lots of product at great prices. Conference is coming up!
We have some great classes planned. Be sure to schedule it in!
Friday at 1 pm. with a fun painted & paper party frame. Our clearance sale is still going on with lots of great
savings. We have received a shipment of adhesives to restock with and more of the Tim Holtz grunge board.
These items will not be put out yet because of the sale but will be available to buy. Please ask to see them if you
would like them at our usual prices.
crawl by herself but needs help to walk. She gets frustrated very easy when I think she realizes she can't do
everything she used to be able to. But with time and therapy we are hoping she gains her coordination back soon.
I will try to keep the shop open on the weekends but still working out the schedule. The sale is still on going so
stop and check out the great prices.
donated for the auction was overwhelming. We love and appreciate each and everyone of you who helped our
family, especially all the prayers offered for Rylie's recovery. She is doing so good. The doctors said she is a
miracle. They have finished her speech therapy because she is back to where she was when the accident
happened. She has taken a few steps but will still need some physical therapy after she goes home which we are
hoping happens sometime this week. I still can't get over how fast she has made improvements. The shop hours
are still questionable because of all that is going on. Please call 766-2666 if you plan on coming in and have to
travel.
and once in a while we can get a smile. We think she recognizes us but it's hard to tell for sure. The therapist
tickled her foot and she pulled it back. So we have high hopes but I fear it will be a long recovery. Can't tell you how
much your prayers have meant to us. I will try to add more news whenever I can.
P.S. My gobigwest email account is not working and I'm not getting any messages forwarded to me from this site. If
you need to get in touch please email my hotmail account directly at: a2zscrapbooks@hotmail.com. Thanks!
Rylie, had a horrible accident. She was climbing on some metal fence
panels that gave way and threw her to the ground with one striking her in
the head. Her mother, LaNae, a trained EMT revived her and she was life
flighted to Primary Children's Medical Center. She has five fractures in
her skull from the forehead to the back of her head. She remains in ICU
at the present time and has not gained conscienceness. We greatly
appreciate all the prayers and kindness shown to our family at this time.
We LOVE you all!
our basement or maybe I should say that's when I noticed the noise and found out about it. It was mainly confined
in the fruitroom but was starting to seep down the hallway. I had planned on attending my niece's wedding in Las
Vegas on Sat. but had to miss it due to cleaning up the mess the pipe made. Isn't that the way things go!
Wonderful news: Shelly called and said Talen was up to 18 lbs. so it looks like the G tube is helping. YEAH!The
doctors think Chris possibly had pneumonia and coughed hard enough to injure his side but his condition is still
deteriorating. He needs the help of a walker but struggles with knowing how to make it work. We received some
fun and new products in the shop this week. Come by and see them. Check out our class schedule too! I've just
set up the dates for our next conference. It will be Sept. 12-13. I know that is earlier than we've had it in the past but
hope it works for all of you. Check the site often for up to date information on classes, etc.
I had a lot going on but survived it. The classes were the best ever! During that week Chris was in the hospital
from Tues - Sat. I'm just glad they had transferred him to Pocatello. It made running from the hospital to
conference easier. And "thank you" to all those who helped especially those who filled in teaching a class they
weren't scheduled to. I had to close the shop for a week while I took care of Chris who was basically bedridden
after he was released from the hospital. He is now back in St. George and we are waiting for doctor
appointments to be able to find out more. A very special "THANKS" to those who came to conference and gave
so generously to Talen's fundraiser. We were able to raise $500 to help with his medical expenses. He was
operated on Friday where they put a G tube in. It goes directly into his stomach so they are able to make sure he
gets the nutrition he needs. Hopefully, this will help him start gaining the weight he needs. I'm in the process of
trying to decide what the future holds. I can see I need to give more time to helping with my family's medical
conditions and then there is my husband who has been neglected during a tough campaign. The shop has
also been neglected and it's hard to find the time needed to do everything to keep it up. For that I'm greatly sorry!
I've had hopes and dreams of a fun place for all to come and enjoy scrapbooking and paper craft projects. I
need your opinions and advice on what you'd like to see happen with the shop. Please come by and let me
know what you think.
two full days of intensive classes with Rogers Distributing. These are wonderful classes with the latest products
from a number of manufacturers. One of the classes I'm really excited about is instructed by Tim Holtz. We'll be
able to learn and bring back these great ideas for upcoming classes, so continue to watch the website for dates
and times. As soon as I fly in on Saturday, I will head straight for St. George to spend a few days with Shelly and
help with Talen since he will be operated on Friday the 11th to put in a G tube for feeding. Then the following
Thurs. I will head back home with Chris in tow. Yes, he is overanxious to return to his beloved Idaho. He has
gotten a little worse into the alzheimers but I'm hoping he'll remember most of you. Be sure to register for
conference and check on the classes now since it will be a week before I get back to add another blog entry.
received some new embellishments at the shop and some great "Cowgirl" paper and stickers. Stop by to see
them. Been trying to get all the information for the conference on the site but still waiting on samples so I can
take a picture of them. Guess you'll just have to believe me when I say they are wonderful and you don't want to
miss the chance of making them. Still lots of room left at the conference so be sure to tell your friends. We will
be holding a fund raising for Talen Vaughn. Part of your registration fee will go toward his physical therapy and
the hope of a wheelchair before his second birthday. We will also have lots of doorprizes that you can buy a
chance at winning. The money will also go into his fund. He will be at conference too, so you can get to know
his sweet personality. Don't miss this event!
received some new items at the shop. Stop by and check them out. Great new paper from Imaginisce and new
embellishments too! Also received some Bo Bunny paper. Check under the "products" button to see samples
of the new items. We received our shipment of the "Big Bite" Crop-A-Dial 2 tool and ribbon purse organizer. We
are planning some upcoming classes and crops so check often to see our schedule under the "calendar" button.
Now a great announcement! We have just about got the old shop cleaned up and ready for crops. We'd like to
give the addition a name so we are having a "Name the crop shop" contest. Please submit a name for our new
section and the winner will receive a gift basket of great scrapbooking products. Please let us know if you are
interested in reserving the room for your own gathering. Great for parties too! We will even cater your event and
teach a class if you want us to. Contact us for more information.
transition at the shop. New displays and more basic cardstock are arriving soon. We are also in the planning
stages of our next conference so check the convention button to see the classes as we get them listed. Be sure
to check the store classes button to find out when our next class will be. We are making up some missed
classes due to weather conditions so if you missed a class please let us know and we will reschedule it for you.
week I was unable to keep the shop open due to the weather conditions or a car stuck in the snow. I have
decided to extend the sale one more week to accomodate all those who might have tried to get in but couldn't.
So the sale will last through Feb. 9th. Great new products are coming soon and with CHA only a short time away
there will be lots to see. If you find a product that we do not carry in the shop, please let us know about it. We
greatly want your input as to what we carry in the shop. Is there a special manufacturer or line you want? How
can we know if you don't tell us? We need you!

Klub this week did a fun block calendar and there were four class kits left. If you are interested in doing one, they
are still available. On a personal note, Chris stayed in St. George after Christmas. It has been hard to get him to
navigate the snow and with so much piling up, it's best he stay where it's warm. Of course, he's not too pleased
and can't wait until he can come back.

reserve a day for us to open. Due to the increase cost of heating and the low turnout for those days, this is why
we have chosen to be closed. We will reopen Mondays and Wednesdays from April - Oct. If you need to
schedule a group or just want to come in and crop on a Mon. or Wed., you will need to make a reservation. The
kids club is open on Fridays at 1 pm. We need to know ahead of time if your child plans to attend so we can
make sure we have enough kits ready for them. We have lots of fun activities planned for the coming months.
