Spellbinders

There are a lot of new dies coming out and some of them are a

"LIMITED ADDITION" and they are on a pre-order basis.

So here is a link to SCRAP-MART just click here

From Scrap-Mart you can get 25% off most of their dies and other goodies, usually free shipping and you can sign up for updates and specials!

I do still offer 20% off all Spellbinders Products and FREE shipping. Plus with a $100 order you will get to pick out a free Impressabilities that is a $6.99 value!

All orders must be pre-paid by using a charge card, checks, pay pal or money order.

Just give me a call or email me with your order.

Phone: 507-391-1314 Email: scrappingonthego@yahoo.com

I will either mail your products to you FREE of charge or deliver them personally to your door in the Albert Lea area. I am also hear to try to help you with any questions that you may have about the products.

~I believe in adding a personal touch to quality Customer Service~

On a more personal note on ME~

Today Mike and I went to our Community Center to volunteer our time to help make food packets for "KIDS Against Hunger"

I must say this was really FUN! It touched my heart and it made me really appreciate that I never grew up hungry and that my children have food on the table every day. It also breaks my heart to know that there are so many children that go days without food.

After speaking to many of the children that were also there helping they all had so much fun! They said that this is their Valentines gift to all of those kids! They are all looking forward to doing this again.

Mike has some pictures posted on his blog of what went on there today. So just click here and go see how Kids helping Kids can help to make a difference. For more information and if you would like to make a donation just click here

Just wondering if any of you got the chance to read the Albert Lea Tribune on Thursday February 10th? Well the Tribune had asked for people to send in stories on how you met your significant other for a Valentines publication. I really did not think that my story would be printed but I was having fun writing it! I had actually forgotten all about it until my oldest daughter Rani, told me she was reading it! So in case you missed it here it is.

White sneakers, blue eyes, black jeans, butterflies and a special kiss

Do you remember the song, "It's in his Kiss" by Cher? Well, that is the song that came on the radio when my date asked me, "Would it be ok to give you a kiss?" I knew right then that Mike was "The One." And that song stood true.

I had never been on the computer for Internet dating, and I really never even knew what it was all about until an ad popped up on the computer for Cupid.com. I was actually looking for old classmates so I clicked on it to go check it out.

I had seen a lot of people on the site and only one person caught my eye. He had the bluest, dancing eyes with a smile that was so sincere! I read his profile, and he was a two-time organ donator. I knew this person was a very caring person so I sent him an e-mail.

After about three weeks, we finally got to talk to each other and about two weeks later we met. I was still a little leery because you hear a lot of stories about things that go on from the Interned. My friends and family knew of our plan to meet in a different town, in broad daylight with lots of people around me! I had to still be cautious.

Butterflies were fluttering in my stomach, and I felt like I was in high school all over again! There were a lot of what-ifs running through my head while I drove a half an hour to meet this new person. I wondered would he even like me because he never did get to see a picture of me. He was going by the description that I gave to him.

There he was smiling ear to ear! He took off those sunglasses, and I saw those baby blues. his bright, white tennis shoes stood out like a sore thumb against his black jeans. Next my eyes noticed a black, tucked-in T-shirt with some design on the front, and he wore a black leather jacket. In my head, all I could think about was Johnny Cash.

Those butterflies were still fluttering, and I was so nervous with excitement. Here I was almost 36 years old, and I felt like I was 16 all over again! We went into the restaurant for coffee and conversation. I was laughing inside but was smiling on the outside because I kept wondering how this guy could drink coffee and chew gum at the same time.

We decided to go see a movie, got a bite to eat, and we parted with a kiss while the song on the radio from Cher cam on. Oh, yes, it was in his kiss!

Now with tears in my eyes as I write this and over seven years of married memories with two beautiful girls together, he also gained a step-daughter, and we have three sweet grandchildren, here we are today.

Mike and I still joke around how we met and about those bright, white tennis shoes that he wore. And the gum, well, he hated the taste of coffee, but he knew I loved coffee so he wanted to impress me. To this day, he still has not taken a sip of coffee, but I love him more than words can say.

~Tamera Marti

The Albert Lea Tribune only changed the Title. Mine was It's in His Kiss

I wish each and everyone of YOU a

Very loving Happy Valentine's Day

while creating the sweetest of memories to scrap a keepsake.

**New Updates**

Brrrr Baby it's cold out there and the wind is howling and blowing! Then there is snow and more snow! I know we are NOT going anywhere with the 3 foot drifts in our driveway!

My First BIG THANK YOU goes out to my hubby Mike, my sister Tonya, my mom Barb and my niece Courtney! I can honestly say without ALL of their help this event would not of happened! Thank God for family! SO THANK YOU!

Second I want to thank all of you who were able to come out and visit and for those of you who attended the scrap event! And for those of you who could not make it I hope you are creating some wonderful memories and scrapping those keepsakes! Maybe I will see you next time!

We all had a very fun time and I know I forgot my camera but next time I will pack that first along with my register tape! Thank you all of you for your understanding. Next time there will be more signs, the scrapping hours will be a little longer and even though every registered guest received little gifts, every registered guest will also WIN a prize!

This was my first one and I learn as I go and please, please if any of you have any suggestions or ideas please email me at scrappingonthego@yahoo.com . I would Love to hear your ideas and thoughts.

I am very much looking forward to the next one in March! I will no longer be having Card Mania but I will have a free make and take! Card Mania takes many, many hours to prepare and I guess I will use that time to prepare and plan for the scrap events instead. I know you ladies are going to miss it but you just never know what I might come up with next! ;-}

There will be limited seating to 32 spaces. You will have a 4 foot area all to yourself!

I know some of you would like a better understanding of the Punch Card so here goes.....

~The Punch Card has $100 worth of punches on it. Once you spend $100 you will receive $10 in FREE product!

~Whenever you have at least a $5 dollar sale before tax your card will get punched. And for every $5 dollars in purchases your card will get punched.

~If you have a filled punch card BEFORE your purchase you can either take $10 off of your purchase or go pick out $10 in product for FREE!

~If you spend at least $200 dollars before tax you can use one of your filled cards to take $10 off of your purchase.

~If you finish up a card on one of your purchases: Example you have have only 3 punches left before a card is filled and you just spent $25. You will get your 3 punches and I will start another card for you. At that time you can go get $10 in free product but you CAN NOT use it to take $10 off until your next purchase because you just filled up the card with the purchase you just made.

~I keep all of the cards for you on file so they go to ALL scrap events with me. Plus if you call and order anything from me or once my HOT DEAL of the WEEK starts up again I will also give you punches for that as well!

I hope this clarifies the Punch Card for you but if you have any questions just give me a call or email me. I will be more than happy to help you.

For those of you who were only signed up for Friday and not Saturday and your wondering how I survived Friday night after getting sick......

Well I stayed at my sisters THANK GOD! By Saturday afternoon I was alive and kicking!

I know through all of the excitement I forgot to have my Christmas Basket giveaway ready but I did put in all of the customers names in by Saturday afternoon who had stopped out on Friday and all of the registered guests names were also put into the basket. We drew the name before closing on Saturday night and the Winner was.....

SUE VANVOOREN

Congratulations Sue! I hope you are enjoying all of the goodies!

Cards for a Cause

Cards for a Cause went over very well this year. I will be going this week to pick mittens off of the mitten tree and wrapping for a lot of kids! With our matched amount in Memory of Dee, Mike's mother, we have

$ 215.00!!!!!

Thank you to all of you for either donating cards or for making a purchase! Once the presents are wrapped I will take a picture and post it for you! I am so excited to do this! It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!

Well that is it for now. The kiddies are home fighting over who gets the mermaid outfit for their Barbie doll and my house well ..... looks like a hurricane came through it. I need some ear plugs, a maid, some chocolate and calgon. I have some wine so maybe I can go lock myself away somewhere and hide out for awhile!

Keep watching for updates and emails....
