We will be cleaning the office and hope to actually get some scrappin and stampin done also!<br /><br />The store is just about empty. We are down to a few Primas, stamps and embellishements (mostly the military stuff) and papers. I believe we are going to officially close down on November 15 - midway through the month, and also our 20th wedding anniversary!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-46266471890452454742007-10-24T15:51:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:24:23.657-08:00San Diego County Fires<div align="justify">I just thought I would share some pictures from the past couple of days at our house.<br /><br />The first three were my attempt at trying to get the beautiful orange moon Sunday night from my driveway - all I seemed to accomplish was getting what looked like snow - however, it is really ashes from the fire, which at that point was still well over 30 miles away.<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXP0dkCpB_GPObvKfQDSo4eJCBMCHXPE2eHTklj7xcmgZlyqFvnuaq674_YjKxcgh7V4hgKnVfMlTGn4pYSenbJgiCajfqIA9JNJsFtTuFwx8n1hWN0SqgzeT7LxOyp8VIGPaD9SDRaE/s1600-h/CIMG3245.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125040280848034578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcXP0dkCpB_GPObvKfQDSo4eJCBMCHXPE2eHTklj7xcmgZlyqFvnuaq674_YjKxcgh7V4hgKnVfMlTGn4pYSenbJgiCajfqIA9JNJsFtTuFwx8n1hWN0SqgzeT7LxOyp8VIGPaD9SDRaE/s320/CIMG3245.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilh4BE1MaPmD9coAhDn7j1-lgiR5KamZ0u3Ku9pXR8fEoTXQEM0p28SSTqg0kaNnv1LN7JjfLBIf4zLMGpcTD6V2bZ0E_zKg6ji-qEXOy8nDPqdMvEwKqZin3h1TOxkcH4nQmaDv3UV_I/s1600-h/CIMG3246.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125040285143001890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilh4BE1MaPmD9coAhDn7j1-lgiR5KamZ0u3Ku9pXR8fEoTXQEM0p28SSTqg0kaNnv1LN7JjfLBIf4zLMGpcTD6V2bZ0E_zKg6ji-qEXOy8nDPqdMvEwKqZin3h1TOxkcH4nQmaDv3UV_I/s320/CIMG3246.JPG" border="0" /></a> You can barely make out the orange moon in the middle of the shot above.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgHZr6aWxLMYcX8hYIfCdcn1K5KE7iYOz837tDGaTNscwEKuNXRUwJw4-UBFovqs2xAel8AAGByZl0w4WXZ8G2lL5FHrbpI6fH-gRrThAsPzsJoSBQ5HgvNxCFFxbn-bGuWgVQcChxPk/s1600-h/CIMG3247.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125040285143001906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgHZr6aWxLMYcX8hYIfCdcn1K5KE7iYOz837tDGaTNscwEKuNXRUwJw4-UBFovqs2xAel8AAGByZl0w4WXZ8G2lL5FHrbpI6fH-gRrThAsPzsJoSBQ5HgvNxCFFxbn-bGuWgVQcChxPk/s320/CIMG3247.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="justify"></a><br /><br />Fast forward to Tuesday evening - wish I had thought about taking pictures through this whole ordeal! We were too busy worrying about possible evacuation and providing friends of ours a place to stay once they were evacuated. Anyway, the shot below is looking at the west sky Tuesday afternoon/evening. You can see the blue sky at the top - that's the way it should all look - and then the smoke layer. You can also see all the dry brush on the hill behind the houses at the end of the culdesac. Hence one of the reasons we were packed and ready to leave at a moment's notice. That same brush starts about 100 feet down a hill out my back door also...<br /><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJYqfiqfK28WgVRhAJjNCmJH9dng7mlerl5wgaMs8-FIYGUuxMh-0fLjHtA8-aEaroT2evgHu2rmyJHigHGBrEI_J33qPHp48Qat_WuSvQ4dbtqW3MM-6IH5EErovx6t95T_WCV9kBMQc/s1600-h/CIMG3248.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125040285143001922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJYqfiqfK28WgVRhAJjNCmJH9dng7mlerl5wgaMs8-FIYGUuxMh-0fLjHtA8-aEaroT2evgHu2rmyJHigHGBrEI_J33qPHp48Qat_WuSvQ4dbtqW3MM-6IH5EErovx6t95T_WCV9kBMQc/s320/CIMG3248.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="justify"></a><br /><br />These next two shots are difficult for me.

We are located in San Diego, CA, and as I'm sure most of you have seen, we have been affected by the horrendous fires in the area. We are fine, we did not evacuate, although the mandatory evacuation lines were literally two blocks from our house. Postal services are not running in our part of the county yet, and as soon as I can get them to a post office that will accept them, your orders will go out!

Kind of like the store - we haven't been doing much with it either. Which led us to some self-reflection and soul searching. </div><br /><div align="justify">Although we thoroughly love the idea of having the store and finding new products, working it, etc., we have come to realize that this simply isn't the right time in our lives to proceed on this adventure. It is time for us to concentrate on the things that really matter to us in life. How can I run a stamp and scrapbook store when I haven't done either since <strong>April</strong>!!! We are working on getting back to the basics. </div><p align="justify"><br />We will keep the address, the name, the business licenses, etc., and hope to restart the whole process again in the future.<br /><br />So what does this mean to you the customers? Check out the post above for more details.<br /><br /></p><div align="justify">Once again, I wish to thank those who have supported us from day one, and the new supporters and friends we have made along the way. </div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-42595750278680314042007-08-02T21:25:00.000-07:002008-12-09T14:24:23.987-08:00Thank You<div align="justify">I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to those of you who have believed in us!

It doesn't make me want one of my own - LOL, we're looking forward to being grandparents - IN A FEW YEARS!!<br /><br />Now on to store stuff - we have some new sei products in the **Coming Soon!** section of the store. It should be in stock by the end of the week. We also have a new Rusty Pickle order on the way - I'll work on getting it online tomorrow. <br /><br /><br />Also, stay tuned for news on a 4th of July sale!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-40442364006365275232007-06-19T07:35:00.000-07:002007-06-19T07:43:04.215-07:00Stamps and MoreOur <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/memorybox.html"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Memory Box</span></strong> </a>stamps and papers are in, as are our new <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/prima.html"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Primas</strong></span></a>.

Joan B and I were supposed to be roommates last year at an event, but at the last moment she couldn't go.

I have been so frustrated trying to get the computer working and getting all the new products listed on the site. Friday night we had a family night that even included our oldest - very rare as he is 16, has a license and a car - and we were going to watch a movie... but mom needed to work on the site and since my laptop wasn't working had to go upstairs to work on the desktop. I was frustrated to tears - LOL, must be PMS'ing. So the love of my life decided to take me shopping for laptops yesterday and we are back up and running - FAST!!!<br /><br />So, without further ado, I have added more to the <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/comingsoon.html"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">**COMING SOON!**</span></strong></a> section of the site. These new blocks, adhesives and EZMounts should be available for purchase Monday night. I am still trying to figure out a way to get my Memory Box items listed. Check back later - for some new items that will be up - I'll post soon!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-39166150741010027422007-06-01T23:02:00.001-07:002007-06-01T23:06:07.202-07:00Tsukineko Inks in the HouseWell, we at least got all the inks uploaded and on the site, you can see them<span style="color:#ffcc33;"> </span><a href="http://www.paperosity.com/tsukineko.html"><strong><span style="color:#ffcc33;">here</span></strong></a>. I still haven't gotten the glue pads, glue pad refills and Fantastix uploaded yet. We received our <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/la-femme.html"><strong><span style="color:#ffcc33;">La Femmes</span></strong></a> but I won't have them uploaded and ready for sale until tomorrow. And last but not least, we received the rest of our adorable <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/button-bottles.html"><strong><span style="color:#ffcc33;">Button Bottles</span></strong> </a>from Rusty Pickle, and they will be up tomorrow also. Please check back in and take a look around.

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!?!? I haven't had a chance to get everything uploaded to the site because my main computer (which is a laptop) crashed. LOL, follow this story.... I leave for a quick weekend trip three weeks ago, and leave my oldest home alone. We decided it would be a good test for him... anyway, he asked if I would leave my laptop - he has a desktop and it is too difficult to take with him when he goes to friends' houses and they are gaming. Sooooo, my computer and a bunch of teenage boys, alone for the weekend. I come home, computer's not working. "I didn't do anything Mom, I swear." Heard that one before? Eventally I get it running again, but it lasts a few days at most and is down again...that's been my life for the past 3 weeks... up, down, up, down... LOL, down more than up. We "only" have 4 computers in this house, you would think it wouldn't be that big of a deal - but it's *MY* computer!! Long story short, we don't know what's wrong with it, other than we know it is NOT the hard drive... me thinks I am going to be getting a new computer any day now....<br /><br />So we *did* get the Primas loaded, and also the new military stamps from Art Declassified. I still haven't gotten the inks up, or all the stamps and papers from Memory Box. Nor have I completed my orders yet - I am still trying to pick out more items.... :)<br /><br />I will continue to work tonight, hope to have the inks up soon!<br /><br />On a different note, look for the new <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/la-femme.html"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Prima La Femmes</span></strong></a> to be in stock soon! I have it on good word that they got a shipment in, and I have a box out for delivery as I type this. <br /><br />More to follow soon,<br /><br />KarenKarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-26050843272036874002007-05-30T13:55:00.000-07:002007-05-30T14:01:37.451-07:00More New AdditionsWe got most of the new Primas loaded to the website. I will be adding Tsukineko inks tonight, as well as a bunch of new acrylic and rubber stamps, and various papers and cardstocks from Memory Box Co., and unmounted rubber military stamps from Art Declassified. I really don't think we'll be able to get all of it online tonight so keep checking back. <br /><br />I will be taking a few minutes tonight to work on some 6x6 scrapbook pages for a friend on Splitcoast. Her husband's unit is in Iraq and they had a couple of pilots killed over the weekend. One of them had two small children, and Aubrey is going to be presenting them with tribute albums in memory of their father. I told her I would work on some pages and am looking forward to getting them together for her. Do me a favor, would you? If you see a member of our military, tell them "thanks." You'd be surprised how good it makes them feel, and how rarely they actually hear it.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5627580111921105036.post-52828923324472842792007-05-29T10:54:00.000-07:002007-05-29T11:11:33.952-07:00Reflections and MoreI hope you had an eventful and enjoyable holiday weekend. I hope also that you were able to take a moment and reflect on the reason that we have this holiday - in honor of those who have given their lives serving our great country. It's always a little somber around our house on Memorial Day. I won't lie - we enjoy having the day off and do usually BBQ or have friends over - yesterday we went to the San Diego Zoo all day - but we also take time to think about those gave all.... some that we knew personally. <br /><br />On a different front, I had fun this weekend working on new orders... here's just a few things that are on the way - Tsukineko inks and glue pad; EZMount in two thincknesses - there is a new thin one for stamps such as SU! that are already mounted on foam - you don't have to peel the foam off, just layer it onto the thinner EZMount!; acrylic blocks, sticky strip in 3 widths, new Primas, some alterables and adorable 12x12 shadowboxes. On the horizon - more acrylic stamps, some rubber stamps (including military!) and more papers - 12x12, 6x6, patterned, solid, cards; brads in many colors, chipboard, and ribbons! Phew... I think that about sums it up. I'm working feverishly trying to get things loaded into the <a href="http://www.paperosity.com/comingsoon.html"><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">*Coming Soon!*</span></strong> </a> section of the store. Look for the first additions to be in place later today!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06648518456038548507noreply@blogger.com0
