This Week @ For Keeps Sake
Hope everyone's 4th of July created "sparkling" memories. We have brand new paper just itching to be picked for your pages including bling papers, flag papers and Statue of Liberty. Come in and see them all along with red, white and blue "jewels".
Today, July 5, we are hosting a 4th of July Flag Sale. Shop all of our 6500 square foot store and then choose a flag to see what discount you get on all regularly priced items. Some exclusions apply (Sony picture maker, consignment kits, furniture), but as you can see just a few! We've also added tons of new items to our 50% off sale bin (located in the cardstock room).

In August, For Keeps Sake is hosting it's 2nd in-store retreat. Sign up for August 15, 16, 17 when you'll be able to crop all day and evening, leave your supplies overnight and come back the next day to more fun and prizes galore! Just ask the gals who participated at our first in-store retreat - you won't be disappointed.
You're invited to For Keeps Sake August 22 - 24 for our first CARNIVALE! Come on in and create fabulous make-and-takes all weekend. Learn new techniques. Meet some of our instructors. Join us for an amazing weekend full of activities and festivities! Watch the calendar and this newsletter for more information.
We'll begin sign-ups for Scrap St. Louis 2009 on September 1. Wait until you hear our line-up of instructors. They are amazing. We'll make announcements in August. And yes, you will be able to make payments again. Mark you calendars for April 23-25, 2009!
Mark your calendars: September 6 & 7 the dynamic duo of Linda Cain and Wendy Vecchi will be visiting For Keeps Sake once again with their amazing talent and projects. We're meeting with them next week and will know more about their projects, costs, etc. Stay tuned for more details in a couple of weeks!
September 27, guest artist Carol Dickson will join us to teach soldered jewelry! We're excited about this class. Think of all the amazing projects you can create for Christmas gift giving! Details will follow including price, times, etc.
Nancy W offers a class each month called Technique Recipes. Just back from Ranger University, the class will be changed slightly to include a technique learned at Ranger U. You will practice on a tag, receive complete instructions on how to accomplish the technique (both tag and instructions will fit in your book) and, as an added bonus, you'll create a layout or greeting cards using the technique! This new format will begin in August.
In just a couple of weeks, we're going on a shopping spree! It's time for CHA Summer. CHA = Craft & Hobby Association. This is the BIG show where vendors from all over the world come together under one roof and show us all their new scrapbooking and altered arts materials. We can't wait. But first - we want to hear from you. We know you've seen previews both on-line and in magazines of some of the new goodies coming to the paper arts industry.
So whadya want? Let us know what you can't live without and we'll try to shop for it and get it in for you. "I've gotta have that new line of paper from . . . ." or " I sure wish you would carry . . . " It's your time to be heard. We'll listen and if enough people want the same thing, we'll try our best to shop! It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!
Any particular stamp line you're crazy about? Ephemera or charms? Papers and embellishments? Let us know by responding to this e-mail. We'll compile all answers before we begin our CHA Summer shopping spree! And thanks in advance for participating. We really do appreciate hearing from you. PS: Don't be afraid to respond. No one will see your answers except the store owners and managers. We have a block on any responses going out to the 3000+ members of this group.
