Memory Box catalogs and Orders Have Arrived!

If you ordered a stamp, cards, or papers from Memory Box, those things arrived yesterday and have been bagged up for you and are waiting for you to come in and pick them up!!!  I think Lydia called everyone today.  Several of you also requested the newest catalog and those were in the box as well.  Your copy with your name on a post-it note is also waiting for you at the shop.

Not sure what the weather will bring for Friday.  Check this blog in the morning or call the shop before venturing out tomorrow just in case we get that sorm that is being forecast.

YOUR MAINE STAMPER CLOSED WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 2ND!

SNOW!   SNOW!   SNOW!  AND MORE SNOW!!! 

We're all staying home on Wednesday and suggest that you do the same.  
Happy Snow Day!  It will be a great day for papercrafting!

We'll open on Thursday once we're plowed out.  Call the store before coming over that day if you want to make sure someone is there before venturing out!

Friday and Saturday we'll be setting up and gearing up for SuperBowl Sunday at Your Maine Stamper!  Two huge boxes (48 pounds each!) arrived from Memory Box on Tuesday and the unveiling of What's in the Box(es) will happen on Sunday.
                         Plan now to come to our SuperBowl Party on Sunday, 10 AM to 4:30 PM!!! 

Because of all the snow we've been getting, the stamp of the month for February is the Large Snowflake from Memory Box.  Come in and get yours before they are all gone--or call the store to have one set aside for you.

Two other boxes of goodies also arrived this week ahead of the storm so there will be lots of new items on the tables, shelves, and spinning racks.

Connie wrote this in the comment section, but I thought it was important for everyone to see, so I copied it here:
