<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't find today terribly exciting. I either sat on somebody's lap or slept on the back seat in my bed all day. When we weren't moving, we were parked by signs that said "Pet Area". I got out quite a few times but there were so many enticing smells and there just wasn't enough time to investigate. There were also a lot of dogs everywhere I went but even though I cried every time I saw a dog, none of them wanted to play with me. I did get to touch noses </span><span style="font-size: large; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">with a couple though and that was fun. (Almost as much fun as sniffing the butts of two plastic flamingos in Sharon and Pat's neighborhood, but that's another story.) Tonight I'm sleeping in a big bed in a motel - another new experience for me. They tell me tomorrow is going to be pretty much like today, but there are always new smells around every turn. For now I'm going to bed and I've put in for an early wake-up call.</span></div>

The plan was to fly out tomorrow (Tuesday) morning with Jazzy while Susan's son drove the 26' Penske rental truck with all their belongings and towed their car. On Friday they packed the truck with the help of several hired moving-packer-type guys. Unfortunately, not everything fit in the truck, so after some deliberating and discussion of the merits of several alternative plans (Gregg's idea of throwing everything else away didn't go over too well.), they decided to rent a U-Haul truck, cancel their airline tickets, and drive with Jazzy, following the big truck. On Saturday, they got the U-Haul, got it packed and were ready to roll by late afternoon. I could mention how most of Susan's clothes were accidentally packed somewhere in the big truck, leaving her with little to wear, but that's another story. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They did get off on Saturday and made it as far as Wilkes Barre, PA. Last night, after driving through a horrendous rain storm, they made their second destination, and tonight they are hoping to stay in Tulsa, OK. As long as Jazzy has enough happy pills, she has been an excellent rider and has surprised everyone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;">Kelly has been practicing longer distances with Sharon and Pat and has been fine. Yesterday she went to Petco and did well despite shaking like a leaf and insisting on being carried through the store. Today, after saying hello to a bear and 2 cubs from the back deck, she rode for an hour or so while we ran errands. I asked her if she missed Jazzy and she said, "Jazzy who?" Even though there's no one here to take her toys or push her out of a chair, I know they'll be happy to see each other. We leave on Saturday bright and early. Don't forget, I'll be doing all my posting from an I-Pad on the road, and I don't have the capability of sending out mass e-mails, so bookmark the blog and just check it every day beginning Saturday.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03166138760247724604noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977558331107623220.post-63289204427342181482015-07-24T10:19:00.002-07:002015-07-24T10:19:41.754-07:00Getting Ready<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Kelly is getting excited about her trip to Arizona! Jazzy (who's not so excited) will be flying with Susan and Gregg, and Kelly (she of the long legs) will be driving with Sharon and Pat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Sharon and Pat will continue to post photos of Kelly's trip west from August 1 until she is safely delivered to her new home. Unfortunately, since they will be posting from an I-pad, they will not be able to send emails telling you that there's a new post. If you would like to see her progress, tune in each day to the blog at: stampandscrapnest.blogspot.com</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">After Kelly makes it to AZ, Sharon and Pat will be continuing on to the National Parks in Utah and Colorado. We will be posting some photos to our blog if anyone is interested in seeing our travels. I know it won't be as interesting because there will be no dogs in the photos, but you can follow us at: patandsharon.blogspot.com</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They wouldn't let me in at the Stamp and Scrapbook show over the weekend, but my people went and they brought back just a few things. I had to check them all out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">________________________________________________</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">For those of you who are taking Jane's Mixed Media Class tomorrow (and in subsequent weeks), she has given us a list of things to bring. Some of these items you may not have and, not to worry, she will have some available to use. You will want to have your own supplies though if you want to continue doing pages on your own. It's also much more convenient for you in class if you have some of your own materials and don't have to wait to share.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We will be using the following:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Your normal class kit (including scissors, tape, etc.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Your palette knife</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Paint brushes in assorted sizes</span></li>

We are anticipating quite a large turnout, so although we want to see all of you, our loyal customers, this is not the time to introduce all your friends and neighbors to the store. In other words, come have a good time without bringing the kids, the refrigerator repairman, and Great Aunt Bertha. </span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Good news, bad news: Susan and Gregg's house has sold (after only 10 days on the market), so everything is moving ahead more quickly than we ever would have imagined. We have a full schedule of classes for June, but the store will be closing in mid-July. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you would like us to order any dies, stamps, or stencils from Memory Box, we will be placing our final order with them. Please call the store and let us know what you want by Friday, June 5, at the latest.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If you would like us to cut any book board for you, please call and let us know how many and what size. We have ordered more book board and will be happy to cut it, but we are running out of time.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">If there is <u>ANYTHING</u> you need, please call or stop in by Saturday, June 6th, and we'll let you know if it's something we can still get for you. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Our merchandise is going fast, so make sure you come in and shop while the selection is still good. All gift certificates and tag sale vouchers will need to be redeemed before the store closes.</span></li>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Apparently I put a little statement on the calendar that you should check the blog for details on our auction, and then I forgot to put it on the blog. Oh well, you just can't get good help these days. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Sunday, June 14th, we will be holding our quasi-annual auction. We receive a lot of sample items from many of our vendors throughout the year, many of which are not items we normally sell. We want to pass these things along to you, but we want to have fun doing it. The auction will begin at 1:30, and when you come in you'll receive a quantity of "Nest Bucks" based on your spending during the past 6 months. (For example, if you have spent $700 during 2015, you will receive $700 in Nest Bucks. Everyone will receive at least $500.) You will use the bucks to bid on the items we have. This is your chance to buy some new craft supplies without any real money ever changing hands. In the past we had new customers drop in to shop during an auction only to be shocked when they heard a stamp being sold for $150 or a pair of scissors going for $300.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I guarantee there will be something you'll want to bid on, a few snacks to go with it, and lots of fun. This is it - our going away party to show you, our wonderful customers, how much you mean to us.</span></div>

No one has approached us so far, but we've still got our fingers crossed. We have a full complement of classes for June and have finished the calendar, so we wanted to share it as soon as possible. We have a few new and exciting things going on, so we hope you'll be able to join us frequently.</span></div>

She will be teaching a wide variety of techniques using a number of different mediums, all of which will help you express your creative side. <b> EVERYONE CAN DO THIS, even if you don't feel you are particularly artistic.</b> There are 5 classes in this series, and you do not have to attend all five. You can come to one, two, or as many as you'd like. Each class will cover different techniques. You will need to purchase the <u>Inky Art Journal</u> (available at the store, $11.50) for use in all five classes. Below are a couple of sample pages from Susan's art journal, similar to some things we will be doing.</span></li>

The $40 fee for this class includes your 5 free markers - a $40 value by themselves.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Advanced</u></b> - Bring your own markers to this class and learn more advanced blending and shading techniques, as well as skin coloring and multi-color blending. The fee for this course is $15.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It has come to a point where I am ready for the next phase of my life. It is time to find someone to take over the everyday running of The Nest. This is a shout out to you to see if that someone might be YOU. Until we find a new owner or I just run out of gas, the store will continue to be business as usual. We have a full schedule planned for May and you have responded with enthusiasm. Many of the classes are full and where we could, we have added extra classes. June is looking just as busy with Jane teaching a class once a week in mixed media art journaling. The rest of the month's classes will be posted as soon as I have an idea of what they will be. As always, we look forward to seeing you in the store in the near future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Let me know if the next phase of <i>your </i>life might be fulfilled by being your own<i> </i>boss, working with wonderful customers, and making new friends while pursuing your passion for paper crafting. It certainly has been the most exciting and rewarding adventure I have ever undertaken.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This Saturday is Make 'N Take and I know some of you are anxiously waiting to see pictures. (You know who you are!) We'll be doing three cards and a mini accordion-fold album. Drop by anytime between 10 and 4 and make as many projects as you like. The cost is $2 per item.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The May 12th box card class has been such a hit that we have already filled two classes, so we've opened up a 2:00 class. We've also added a third box to the class. In addition to the Graduation Box and the Beach Box, you'll be making this smaller Farm Girl Box which folds to fit in a standard A-2 envelope.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On May 26th we are making a Book Box (not to be confused with the box cards above). This keepsake box would make a beautiful gift and could be used to hold jewelry or other treasures. You'll be covering the box, lining it with stick-on velvet sheets, and making flowers using a Susan's Garden Die Set. Due to time constraints, we will have some parts prepared for you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On Saturday 5/23, we are making a Rose Card and Lined Envelope. The card is made using a new die and some washi tape from "Little B," a company we haven't worked with before. The card is really pretty, but the exciting part is learning to make the envelope look as if it's lined with gold foil by using wax paper and a washi tape technique. We will also throw in another project just to keep you on your toes.</span><br />

Have you tried to use Copic markers on your own but aren't quite sure how to get the right look? Then this class is for you. You will learn about the color families and the numbering system, how to refill the markers and change nibs, and how to use the markers to create that beautiful shaded, streakless image. You will receive five free markers with your class fee. Bring any markers you own with you, and if you already have any of the colors we're using, you can color with your own and choose a new free color. This class is guaranteed to change the way you look at coloring.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>MANY THANKS</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thanks so much to everyone who helped to make Monday's class with Graphic 45 such a success. Charee and Dustin did a fabulous job and their class was extremely interesting and informational. They brought with them a wonderful display of other projects using their products and I know many of us found that very inspiring. So many of our customers follow G45 very closely, and it was very fulfilling to be able to work with them.</span></div>
