Canadian Scrapbooker is here

Yes, the winter issue of Canadian Scrapbooker is in and it's better than ever! One thing I love about this magazine is how it always has exciting layouts with every single issue and every time it gets better and better. I have 6 issues available, so if you would like one, feel free to send me an email so I can put one aside for you. And for all the girls I'll see at Camp He Ho Ha this weekend, I'll have it there.

I'm excited about two things with this magazine. One is that my customer/friend Candace Robichaud has been published for the first time. I met Candace over a year ago and she had just started scrapbooking at the time. One thing about Candace is that she was instantly good. She didn't have the warm-up to scrapbooking period like a lot of us do. I know with myself, it took a long while for me to really feel comfortable about my layouts and doing things without scraplifting. Candace just happens to have this fabulous style and a natural ability to scrapbook. She has a great eye for what looks good and has no problems mixing & matching different mediums and making them look great together. I have always loved her style and I hope she submits more layouts to the magazines because then you'll see more of her unique scrapbooking ability and style. The layout in the magazine is a great one, but she has even greater ones than that. (I know she's going to be blushing when she sees this). I've been trying to get her to buy her own Memories in Motion Franchise because she would be fantastic at it, but she's too busy working with her husband http://www.carsgone.com/ plus raising her awesome kids. Anyways, Candace, I hope you continue scrapbooking even though you're so crazy busy becoming a gazillionaire. lol.

Ok, so the second thing about the magazine is that we're on page 22 with a picture of my husband & I on the Dragons' Den tv show pitching our business. I know, everyone is bugging me and even bribing me to tell them what happened and I still can't. I know, it's just as hard on you as it is on me. The Mom Magazine has asked for the exclusive story about my experience on the Dragons' Den and I'll be sure to tell you as much as I can. My one friend asked me if I would tell her and I told her she'd have to come bail me out of jail after they sue me. The show is every Mon on CBC until Dec 14. www.cbc.ca/dragonsden Ok, I will tell you this much - I didn't get beat up. How's that?

Oh, one other thing I have to tell you about. I just got in the Glue Glider Pro and it is AWESOME! I love it. It's like those big honking ATG guns, only way smaller and easier to handle. Plus, it doesn't take up so much space in your scrapbook bag and the other great feature is it's half the price. Check it out, I just love it and I only have 4 left.

Also, don't forget about our contest - the "Most Embarrassing Layout" Contest. We're pretty excited about it and all the prizes we have to give away. I just got an email from a lady who said she definitely had to enter this contest. I just laughed.

Take care and have a great day/weekend! Check out http://www.canadianscrapbooker.ca/ and their new winter issue, it's awesome. Great job Katharina and Jackie and the rest of the team!
