What Fun...

Black Friday was so much fun! It was so nice seeing all of you. And I know you are loving your free bucket totes that you received for spending $30 or more.

Good news is that I was able to get a few more medium totes and for the holidays we are offering them at a wonderful price of $10.00. They normally sell for $16.99! We also have a few of the large bucket totes that we are selling for $15.00. They normally retail for $20.99! Either size would make a terrific gift filled with stamping supplies or scrapbooking goodies. Stop in and let us help you customize that perfect Christmas gift!

Don't forget the crafter's cash special going on now. Buy $50 in gift certificates and receive $10 in crafter's cash. Buy $100 in gift certificates and receive $25 in crafter's cash. Crafter's cash is to be used the month of Jan. on full price merchandise.

We are busy working on our January class schedule and should have it posted in a few days.

Tis The Season...

We at the Crafting Cottage are busy decorating for Christmas. Yesterday Georgiana, Georgia, Cheryl and myself put up our new nine foot Christmas tree and started to redecorate our store windows. Today Cheryl and I trimmed the tree and moved our lady into the wind0w. It takes a lot of time to get those windows just how you want them. The work will continue tomorrow.


We've got some new Christmas papers from Graphic 45 and Magenta due to arrive very soon. Along with some new Peel Offs from Magenta!

The holiday Flower Soft items have arrived! Get them while they last!

Stop by and see the new lay out of the store. Last week I had the urge to move EVERYTHING around and soooooo we did. Cheryl and Georgia were very good sports about it.

Corning's Holidazzle is this Friday-Monday. We are having 15% off during the celebration

September's Card Contest winner was Peggy Jo Smith from Corning. Congratulations Peggy!

Later Sat. afternoon I am doing the patchwork pumpkin class. There are still a few openings for these classes.

I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh at my sister's home. After traveling through snow, rain and fog I arrived in Centre County PA and met up with two of my sisters and we continued are journey to Pittsburgh. We had a great weekend. We stayed up until 2:00am Sunday evening crafting. I took along the Wizard Die Cut Machine and some of the dies. They loved the cards we made. I am excited to say that my three sister's are coming to Corning to visit the last weekend of October and we will be crafting up a storm making our Christmas cards.

Our Christmas Tag Exchange now has 26 signed up. Oh 27, I forgot to add my sister Trish to the list. There is still time to sign up and join us on Friday, Nov. 20 at 6:00 for an evening of holiday fun. Exchange handmade Christmas tags, enjoy Christmas music, food and fellowship with other crafters!

Hurry and don't miss...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we are having an open book order for MAGENTA. Stop in and look at our catalog or go online and call with the stamps or peel offs that you would like and I will order them for you. I am having my Celebrate the Holiday Magenta Style class next Tuesday and I thought it would be nice if they could browse through the catalog and pick out what they would like. The open book order will run through Oct. 17th.

We already have 18 ladies signed up for our Third Annual Christmas Tag Exchange! Within a few days I will post a couple samples from our previous tag exchanges. The cut off date to register for our tag exchange is Friday, November 6th. I will then call and let everyone know how many tags they are to make.
