www.getcroppin.com

Finally I can talk about it!

2005-11-04T16:47:00.000-05:00

Ashlie has been trying to keep me as quiet as possible on this new limited edition kit, she was putting the finishing touches on it.... and can I just say.... I love this kit.... check out our newest 'limited edition kit' --- "My Gratitude Journal" This kit will be available later tonight for pre-orders.... we will begin shipping the kit out in the next week or so.... once we sell out of it, we will not be restocking it...so reserve yours today!

Yummy, bazzill coverall, American Crafts Sixth Avenue papers, ribbons, bazzill cardstock, Ashlie Originials products not available any where else.... does it get any better than this....

It's Tag Weekend.....and some membership changes....

2005-10-28T10:52:00.000-05:00

Here we go again.... this is 'tag' weekend, which means Ashlie and I will spend the next 2 days stuffing and packaging all tags to go out on Tuesday, Nov. 1st...right on time.... deadlines are crazy but they do keep us on track. If you are still interested in received the November kit you still have a day or two to order before we mail out on Tuesday!

As for other news.... beginning with this kit, we will no longer have '3 and 6 month' tag extension memberships.... the great thing about this is that you get to view the tags on the 15th of every month on our website and decide if you want them, if you do, you can purchase them before the 29th of each month to guarantee shipping by the 1st of the following month.

The question has been asked..... Why did you decide to discontinue longer memberships?
Well, Ashlie and I have been discussing the growth of Get Croppin' which has been great. We have a few divisions w/in GC.... Tags, Limited Kits, Other products, Scrapbooking Events and the annual Scrapbooking Yard Sale.... we decided that in order to continue to grow and offer a wider variety of designs and products we would not commit to such extensions on the tags which in turn allows us to produce more specialty kits while continuing to provide the tags and other items every month.
If you've ever been to one of our crops or attended the yard sale last year you know how GC works and we commit ourselves 100% to the project...which is what we are doing w/ the tags and other items....

well....on this end, we will be releasing our newest 'limited edition' kit probably next week, we are working on some samples....wait till you see this adorable kit! You'll love it for yourself or a great holiday gift!

Have a scrappin' weekend!

Just dropping in!

2005-10-25T14:28:00.000-05:00
