Memory Box fall and Christmas stamps on MONDAY!!!

I can hardly wait for the newest stamps and papers to arrive!!!  They will be unveiled on Monday morning July 5th at 10 AM when Connie opens the doors.   You will have to check out the Outside the Box blog (look on the sidebar of this page for the address) every day next week as all of us on the Design Team are overblogging--two posts each day all week.  When I blog on the fifth, if you post a comment about my blog post you will be eligible to win the stamp that I will be featuring.  And this will happen all week long!  If you comment on each post, you will be eligible to win the stamp featured in each post.  How cool is that!!!  We'll be drawing two names every day!  I am sooo excited!!!  And you will be too when you see What's Inside the Box and the samples we've designed!!!!!

It's almost the first of JULY! That means it's almost Christmas in July at Your Maine Stamper!


We have so many neat things planned during the month of July!

On Saturday afternoon I set up the Christmas in July table with all of our Christmas stamps and all of them are discounted all month long!!!

Our bulletin board behind the desk has all of the information regarding Dave Brethauer's visit from Memory Box on July 14th.  If you have signed up for Dave Brethauer's classes, the deadline for payment is July 1 and that date is fast approaching.  Checks can be made out to Dave and either mailed to YMS or dropped off at the store.  We'd LOVE to see you!  And we'll take cash, too!  Remember one class is $40; two classes are $70.  Connie and I are working out the details for lunch for everyone for that day.   We want you to shop that day--Dave is bringing extra Memory Box "stuff" to supplement what we'll have in the shop.  All of the newest fall and Christmas stamps will be unveiled on Monday, July 5th!!!  I can hardly wait for those boxes to arrive!!!  They'll be here sometime this week!!!  I've been making room for all of the new 12X12s, the 6X6 paper packs, and lots and lots of new stamps and samples.  There's a big order going out this week for Flower Soft and all of the inks and other supplies for making up the newest Memory Box cards that will be in the box.

On the 24th we'll be celebrating a Customer Appreciation Day with free make-your-own ice cream sundaes and a free Make & Take, too!  The festivities start at 12:30 and will last until the ice cream is gone (eaten up or melted)!!!  Charlene is also hosting a class (2 hours, $15) that morning for card-making with an ice cream theme--call the shop to sign up.

New products keep showing up in brown boxes delivered by UPS or in white ones from the postal service or FedEx.  There are three double-sided great new So Sophie papers that arrived on Friday, another with distressed Fleur de Lis, a Safari print, and a musical collage paper.  We have gorgeous Tim Holtz buttons and Memo Pins.  There are lovely little drawer pulls for bookcovers from 7 Gypsies.  For you Halloween fans, we got the cutest black and white canvas stickers.

Be sure to stop in before the Fourth--we've got lots of patriotic stamps, red/white/blue papers and inks, even Golden Retrievers with flags in their mouths!  Everything you need for party and picnic decorations and summer greeting cards!

Happy Stamping!

C'mon in and say Hello!

I'm in the shop for the next two days and I'm looking for company!

I put together some $1 and $3 grab bags (which are open at the top so you can peek inside) for the weekend that are stuffed with stickers, papers, ribbons, and other odds and ends.  These aren't as fancy as the packs Lydia makes up, but there's lots of good stuff to add to cards or scrapbook pages.  There are even three Halloween bags!  Great project packs for kids who are "bored" already or for visiting nieces, nephews, grandchildren...


You will also get a surprise goodie package if you spend $20 or more this weekend.  I'm not sure what other little incentives to shop I will come up with...but there will be a featured stamp each day at 15% off!

I know it's going to be nice weather, but you should think about shopping at YMS to stock up on things for summer card-making and scrapbooking just in case there's a rainy day in the forecast anytime soon!

Hope to see you this weekend!

There's no telling what Connie and I will be up to this week.  You know, when the cat's away...

If you have signed up for Dave Brethauer's class, the deadline for payment is July 1 and that date is fast approaching.  Checks can be made out to Dave and either mailed to YMS or dropped off at the store.  We'd LOVE to see you!  And we'll take cash, too!  Remember one class is $40; two classes are $70.  Connie and I are working out the details for lunch for everyone for that day.   We want you to shop that day--Dave is bringing extra Memory Box "stuff" to supplement what we'll have in the shop.  All of the newest fall and Christmas stamps will be unveiled on Monday, July 5th!!!  I can hardly wait for those boxes to arrive!!!
