All Moments Remembered online and brick and mortar come together....

living my dream has never been so much fun.....

So when you open a scrapbook brick and mortar store there is sooo much to buy. Not just your wonderful fun products. You have all the display raks, hooks, shelves, cash register, register counter top and on and on. So I have been trying to save money on many items so I can put more into the products for the store. I bought this counter site unseen off of craigslist. I still remember my hubby calling me saying before I load this 600 lb thing do you want to know what it looks like? I said NAH for the price I will make it work. Well he showed up with it and it is bright turquoise sides and peach/pink top. Okay so not fancy by no means but hey there are locking drawers and lots of shelves on the back side. The colors are growing on me and more people then not that walk in say WOW I love it. SO here is the best part..... My online message board girls had a challenge to make a layout about what they loved about AMR. Another member put this on. So after they made these layouts they sent them to me to display. I proudly display them on my counter side.... When you walk into the store they are the first thing you see. Everyone loves checking them out. I hope to get more to add to my collection. I just love how my online girls and my in store girls are all such a great part of my life!! I appreciate them all. Thanks to the girls who sent these to me!! They are beautiful.




Classes have been going super at the store. I am find I have way more interest in card making them layouts right now. We did beautiful Noel cards last week with stamps by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. Then this week we did four cards for everyday reasons. My favorite was a technique I learned on Tim Holtz blog. We did the inking of stamps and then used our mini misters for a water color effect. I loved it! The ladies all loved it. We also used some gorgeous dragonfly stamps and did them the same way. We had a lot of fun creating 4 different cards and getting to know new friends.











Quilling..... Anyone still do this? I had always thought it was beautiful but would be way to hard. I had a customer and new friend come into the store and show me some of her work. She is now teaching a class for me on quilling. I think it will be so much fun and gorgeous for all of us card makers. She makes it look so easy too. I will let you know how it goes. I am excited to try this new paper adventure. This class is Dec. 9th at 6:00 and filling up fast so come in and sign up soon.








If you would love to chat with other scrapbookers and have been looking for a friendly place to land, we have a great message board for you to check out. Come sign up and join in on the fun.
Have a fun and beautiful weekend!!!

Dreams do come true.....

Starting All Moments Remembered online was such an incredible time for me. I loved each and every moment of it. I still love it. My message board is filled with girls that are now like family and dear friends. But recently I opened a brick and mortar store in my town. WOW WOW WOW!! The fun I am having being able to help people in person. It is just so much fun. The store is more busy then I ever dreamt it would be in this short of a time. Dreams do come true! How fun it is to go to work everyday and LOVE what you are doing??!!! I hope if you are in Central Oregon you come by to see us. We are located at 779 N Main st. Prineville.....
Sign up for a fun class and meet some really great ladies who have the same passions.

Pictures of the All Moments Remembered Brick and Mortar store

So I opened a brick and mortar store..... Three weeks later I found the place I opened in was way to small. I had lots of customers coming in but the feel and size of the store was not working for them or myself. So we had our grand opening there since we had advertised it on a Sat. Packed it all up on Sunday and went and bought new displays too. Moved in on Monday to the new bright cheery store. Opened for biz in Tuesday and had a small first class on Tue night. Now I just need to figure out how to skip sleep!! LOL!!

I have tons of new product coming so I can fill up the store with yummy goodness. I will also have it all stocked on my online. Yippppeeee!


This is the entry when you walk it. Kinda like a little mud room as you come through the front door of the old house.


My stamp area I am using my MIL's Hutch (she passed away and gave it to me). Plus the table that goes with it is set up at all times in the store. Makes me feel like she is with me! She would be so happy.


Another view....


My demo table or scrap table is someone comes in to scrap. For classes I push displays back and bring out all the folding tables. Works fantastic. I still need to decorate like crazy!! But I think it is pretty good for doing it so quick. Don't you love the pergo floors in there?

Here is my first class. Only had 6 but was booked with 10 so need to work that out so I do not have that happen often. On the far left is Peewee24 and the middle is Marinn from the message board. Total riot these two are.



Two more sweeties working hard! The one in the red and black is a teacher I worked with last year.



This is one of the ladies finished boot albums. They all did a beautiful job and were so much fun to hang out with.

So I finally have all my scrapbook stuff in one place. I can do all my online and kits in the store. No more working at the shop and from home. I can only say this is such a dream come true for me!! I thank all my girls on my Message board most of all for the incredible support they have given me in love and purchases!! This was all made possible thanks to my online customers! THANK YOU!!!!

Come scrapbook with Ali Edwards, myself and many many more.....

I am so excited to jump into this adventure next week. Ali is taking us all on an adventure to discover our lives for one week. To get pictures of it. To write about it. To put it together to keep as a treasure. Please go to Ali's blog and read all about it and JOIN US!!! I will post where I am at with it daily starting Monday. Leave comments here and let us know how you are doing on it and any highlights or ideas you have for it.

With the passing of Aleida I am so into the idea of us all doing these kind of projects. We need to make sure we leave behind these treasures about ourselves to our loved ones.

Leave me a note here if you plan to join us on this venture!!


The brick and mortar store is going super. I am having lots of fun meeting scrappers in person. We are adding more and more classes and bringing in new product weekly. Stop by and see us if you are in the area!!

Have a fun weekend,
Stacey
