it's me.........tiffany!!!

Okay Ladies, this is Tiff (on my FIRST blog -- YeAh!!) . . . let's have a heart to heart talk . . . I would like to share some things with you...and hopefully you'll share back.

When I decided to go into business with Ashli I put a lot of thought into what I could add to the PINK store. Ashli & I have brainstormed together & are working HaRd on the CROP ROOM. ORGANIZATION was my first goal & now that I have Ashli organized (well, on her way:) I want to hear from you. One of my favorite things is all the Fantastic CHIC Ladies that come through our doors! So, I would like to know what you WANT? Here's a list of questions: Please read all the way to the end of the post for instructions

What is most interesting to you, Crop or Class? Would you like more KIDDIE Classes? Do you prefer Classes Weekdays, Weeknights, or Weekends? -- Specify Adult class or Kid class (Please feel free to be specific - Tuesday at 5pm) What types of classes are your favorites? Techniques, layouts, mini books, calendars, projects, etc. Crops mixed with make and takes or just leave me alone and let me CROP?

Lastly, WHEN would YOU like for our store to be open? -- Now that there are 2 of us we are considering/planning new store hours. Currently we are CLOSED Sun & Mon, Open 12:30-5:30 Tue-Fri & Sat 10am-3pm I can't wait to hear from you! Please feel free to add any comments or suggestions in other aspects of Chic & Scrappi. To make things FUN we will randomly pick ONE from all the replies to this & have a SURPRISE for you!

Thanks chic CHICKS...can't wait to hear from you!

HoLy CoW!!!

Well chic chickas.....I have a confession to make...I am a Krystal Hartley junkie...her stuff ROCKS..I LOVE it ALL...and I am a bit of a stalker..and APPARENTLY this erratic behavior of mine..has earned me a spot on her CREAtIvE EnSemBle TeaM....WOHOO!!! What does this mean?! Well, Miss Krystal is as you know a digital designing DIVA and makes JUST beautiful stuff...YUMMY STUFF...so now her designs will be available for sale on sites like Digitals and Polka Dot Potato....so OUR job as a Creative Ensemble Member is to create designs to Sale Her Goodiez....now..as you know I am a PAPER GIRL....BUTTTTTTTTTTTT there is SOOO much you can do with the DIgI goodiez if you take them off of your PaGe! I can't wait to show you ALL the possiblities...we will also be working with her and giving her IDeAs for FabUlOuS designs...I am SOO excited! YEAH!



The Croptober was A HUGE success...Depot Days had downtown Gainesville HOPpInG! Kelli Kay's The Prissy Princess outside of the Chic SHoppe did FanTasTic..with her bows, tutus and blinged out tennies....SOOO precious! We had some Fabulous chickies stroll through the chic shoppe for the first time...so we hope that they will be back SUPER soon! Poor Tiff missed out on all the fun/chaos...she and her hubby took the kids to the coast this past week...so the CHIC momma..sandra and I held down the fort...the chic chicks in the back enjoyed a day of croppin' and shoppin...and EATING..good grief...did we put the food away! Edelweiss and Sarah's on The Square did a SUPER job! YUM! thanks girls for making it SUCH a fun day!



Lots of ideas were floating around...the crop shack that night ...one of the girlz decided that we need another one of these only this time to do Christmas cards ..all day...bring your stamps and swap ideas and goodies....sip on cider and hot coacoa...so I am NEEDING some ideas of WHEN we might want to do this....is ANYONE interested in a sunday afternoon!? Also...there would be a card swap...bring a card and we will do "dirty santa" swapping and stealing each others' cards until we peel each others eyeballs out...sound FUN!?



Just a reminder....BOO the minibook will be on NEXT tuesday..we had to change it b/c several of you couldn't make the wednesday night one NO PROBLEM...we'll just switcharoo it!...also...sign up for the kids CLAsseS super FasT!!! They are filling up pretty fast! They are going to be SUCH fun...I have added MANY new things to the calendar...we are keeping the room CLEAN (yes CLEAN) for croppers...my painting stuff will be picked up...or at least a little neat so y'all can sprawl out and get some scrappin' done! Also, give me an idea if you are going to want a CHIC KIT...we are about to get to work on that....it is going to be LOADED down with GOODIEZ!!! Can'T Wait to start playing with that! YEAH! I have TONS of ideas and so does Miss Tiff..fresh from the coast...LUCKY!!!!
