Holiday Season

The Holiday Season is upon us.  I've been busy trying to get all my shopping done before the end of November so I can avoid all malls and stores in December.   I used to love shopping over the holidays, but I think as I get older, I just don't have the energy for it anymore.   However I do like looking at all the wonderful Christmas decorations, but my husband has told me I'm not allowed to buy any more.  He thinks my 5 extra large rubbermaid totes and the other various bags and boxes filled with Christmas decorations is enough!  He's such a scrooge!
 ;-) 

To ring in the holiday season, we will be having an Open House at our in-store location on Saturday, December 8th from 10am - 5pm.  Be sure to stop by for a sweet treat and also receive a gift with purchase.

What's New!

 We have some of the Tim Holtz Christmas dies and embossing folders in stock, but they are disappearing fast! 

Just in time for winter, we also have a couple of BoBunny winter lines available:

Snow Day 

Powder Mountain  

Coming Soon!

Are you as big a fan of Vicki Boutin as I am?  She will have some of her kits available soon and you will only be able to get them at the Nook, so stay tuned!  If you are on Facebook, be sure to 'like' the Nook to find out when they become available.  Not on Facebook?  No worries, we'll send out an email as well. :-)

October Design Team Layouts - Margo Shute

Yes,  yes....  I know it's November 2nd - but now that you have time to come off your sugar high from Halloween, you can get all your pictures developed and buy some of these fantastic papers and embellishments from Webster's Pages - Once Upon a Halloween....  and get scrapping!!!

Margo did up these great layouts using this fun line....  be sure to get shopping online or in store soon, for your own Halloween papers and more!!!

Fall Colours!!

Fall Colours!

Fall is definitely in full swing here in Southern Ontario.   
I know parts of Canada have seen the fall colours come and go, but we are still enjoying the changing colours.   
I really need to go for a drive and take some pictures!  
I love this time of year!

Of course, Halloween is almost here.  Do you have a lot of kids that come to your door?  When we moved here 10 years ago, I ran out of candy the first year -- I had enough for 80 kids.  So the next year I bought more.  After a few years, that was too much.  Now we get maybe 30 - 40, if that.   I guess the neighbourhood is getting older.  It's too bad.  I enjoy seeing all the kids with their costumes.

With fall here and the winter just around the corner, we also find ourselves having hot drinks like hot tea or hot chocolate to warm us up!   If any of you watch Dragon's Den, you may have seen the couple in the season opener who have the Steeped Tea business.  All of the Dragons were very impressed with them and their products.  

A couple of friends have started a new adventure by becoming Steeped Tea consultants.   I ordered several of the teas and they are FANTASTIC!  So much so, that I decided I would host an online Catalogue Party.

If you love tea, you will love all the amazing flavours of tea -- black tea, green tea and lattes -- that Steeped Tea offers.   They have a few flavours of Hot Chocolate as well.   It doesn't stop there!  They have an awesome selection of savoury foods too!  Check out the catalogue by clicking the link below.  The catalogue party ends this Sunday, October 21st.  All orders can be shipped directly to you.

New Nook News from Janice - September 19th

Brrr....

I had my first hot chocolate of the season today! It was a little chilly in the house today, but way to early to be turning on the furnace!  That would mean the end of summer and I'm not ready for that!!!  

How do you like your hot chocolate?   We have a Tassimo, but I don't like the hot chocolates that you can get with it-- I like mine made with milk and a little whipped cream to top it off.  Can't get all that with a Tassimo!  However, when I'm looking for a nice cup of Earl Grey tea or a Chai Latte, I LOVE my Tassimo! 

Well -- time to move on.  Have to go watch the season premier of Survivor tonight! ;-) 

What's New!

Just when I think I've made room for everything, more product comes in and I get to shuffle everything around again!  :-)

The End of Summer...

Today is the last 'unofficial' day of summer!  Tomorrow the kids go back to school and we will be having to watch out for the those yellow school buses and slowing down around school zones.  Wishing all the kids a great first day back to school -- and a great school year!

Did you look forwad to going back to school?   I know I didn't!  I never liked school and always dreaded going back.   Not sure I'd enjoy it any more as an adult either! 

The start of a new school year also means the start of cooler days and nights.   I like the cooler nights!  We live in a 90 year old house and don't have central air, so the cooler nights make for a much better sleep! 

To end our summer, my husband and his best friend did 15 laps around MoSport racetrack in a NASCAR car -- again!!   They had a blast!   The wives each did a 5-lap trip around as a 'ride-along' -- we were the passengers in a NASCAR vehicle with a professional driver behind the wheel.  What an experience that was!  LOTS of fun.  I'm not going to talk about trying to get in and out of the car...   If you have a NASCAR fan in your house, I would highly recommend trying it out.   Just check out Rusty Wallace Racing Experience to see where they will be.

Now we head back to our regular scheduled programming.... :-)

What's New!

We've had lots of new stuff come in over the last month and even more to come!  

Who doesn't like Jillibean Soup?   We have 2 new lines -- Winter Tortellini / Spinach Soup and Grandma's Lima Bean Soup.  We also have all the new Soup Labels, Banner Bites and Hexagon (or Hexies) stickers available.

 BoBunny Double Dot Designs 6x6 Paper Pads are perfect for card making, photo mats,mini albums -- for just about everything!

Just in time for Fall, we have Simple Stories Harvest Lane.

Get a head start on your Christmas cards or gifts with Simple Stories Handmade Holiday.

Echo Park's Chillingsworth Manor is a great Halloween line of papers!

  

  If you like 'bling', we have new Prima Say it in Crystals in stock in a variety of colours and styles.  These are great for adding that little bit of glimmer to your layouts, cards or altered items. 

Washi Tape is all the rage right now.  We have 2 styles available from Prima -- Tea Thyme and Welcome to Paris.

  

If you are new to Washi Tape or don't have a clue what to do with it, check out this great tutorial from Scrapbook & Cards Today's blog. 

And finally, we have new Memory Box dies available.  You can check them out HERE.
