November-December Newsletter 2024

Happy Fall-Winter!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Hello, all! Christmas is coming along fast, and I don’t know about you but postal strike or not, I am still going to mail out my Christmas cards. Even if they don’t arrive until January, that doesn’t matter. Sometimes I think it is nice to get something cheerful in the dismal days of January (or maybe even February if they get too backed up.)
THE CLEARANCE SALE CONTINUES! It has been SO very busy in here, but the displays and shelves are still quite full! (It might have been a touch over-full before, lol.) Almost everything has now increased to 30% off (except for the new stuff still coming in, including Christmas and more!) with GOLD customers getting 35% off. For best selections, don’t wait!
If you are close to being GOLD, and want to get the extra discount, it is not too late. Finish up your card(s) with reg priced merch, collect your bonus $20 worth of products of your choice per card and start using your discounts right afterwards.
Sale Christmas items in the boxes is now 60% off its original price. This discount may also increase per week.
If you are in need (or want) of anything- if it is something I have access to, I will try and get whatever I can. I intend to keep bringing in things as I run out if practical, so if you are thinking about replacing machines, plates, tools or anything else, please let me know. (A shipment of Big Shot plates came in this morning- I know some of you have been waiting for these.)
The goal for the final day of being open is Friday, January 31st. It won’t be quite 30 years, but close. This won’t be the last newsletter either- there will be at least two more, and of course I will keep the STAMPERS Facebook page open indefinitely for communications with everyone. (and I still want to promote the Papercrafter’s Sales, the retreats and crops for as long as it seems needed.)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask- or better yet come in for a coffee and a visit. I will always be glad to see you.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————
There is a great Papercrafter’s Crop once a month at the Adventist Church (9300 Willingdon Road, by the airport) on the third Thursday of every month. for further information, call Carol at 250-881-2099.
Quilling! There is a lovely group of quillers here in Victoria that meet regularly for workshops and friendships. Please contact Susan Grant at susm4544@gmail.com

We are still collecting bottles for Ginny, the senior lady we support, who survived Hurricane Dorian that devastated the Bahamas in 2019. Your generosity in the past 4 years has been amazing!
From the sale of the cards in the spinner by the door, and donations, we matched dollar for dollar and we’re able to send almost $1,000.00 to the L.I.F.E. (LUCY IRVINE FOUNDATION EUROPE) rescue and rehabilitation centre for abused and abandoned animals in Bulgaria. They receive no funding from the government or any private businesses, strictly surviving on donations from people. We are proud to be able to help them with pet food and any surgical needs.

November-December Newsletter 2024
|
Happy Fall-Winter!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Hello, all. I have been trying for the last couple of days to figure out how to word this in the newsletter, and I’m not sure if I will do this adequately even now, but here goes.
I’m closing.
It has been almost 30 years now, and the time has come for a whole variety of reasons, none of which are bad, honestly. I want to travel, finish The Book, spend more time in my garden, help more at my church, clear out my basement, and so much more. I still love making cards and can’t see myself stopping. I actually want to get into junk/art journals and get more into mixed media. We’ll see. I would love to participate in the activities that some of you are in, if possible.
Meanwhile, I now have a store to shut down! Obviously, almost all merchandise is going on sale asap, with each week the percentage off increasing, starting tomorrow. With the exception of the new stuff on the tables, everything else will start at 15% off- (20% off for GOLD customers. GOLD customers will still get 5% more off the discounted prices, except for the heavily discounted Christmas.) If you are close to being GOLD, and want to get the extra discount, it is not too late. Finish up your card(s) with reg priced merch, collect your bonus $20 worth of products of your choice per card and start using your discounts right afterwards.
Sale Christmas items in the boxes is now 60% off its original price. This discount will also increase per week.
If you are in need (or want) of anything- if it is something I have access to, I will try and get whatever I can. I intend to keep bringing in things as I run out if practical, so if you are thinking about replacing machines, plates, tools or anything else, please let me know as soon as you can, because there will be no ordering in the last few weeks, but I don’t want anyone left high and dry.
I’m sure this will be a shock to some, not so much for others. I’m sorry.
So many of you have been with me from the beginning- back when we were on the side of Courtside Sports on Prior and Hillside- and I consider you friends. I don’t intend for that to change. Over the years we have built a community of papercrafters together. You have been with me in all the highs and lows of my life. Please be with me now.
The goal for the final day of being open is Friday, January 31st. It won’t be quite 30 years, but close. This won’t be the last newsletter either- there will be at least two more, and of course I will keep the STAMPERS Facebook page open indefinitely for communications with everyone. (and Instill want to -remote the Papercrafter’s Sales, the retreats and crops for as long as it seems needed.)
