WoooHoooo!!!

Wow, there is so much going on right now and I am overflowing!
For the past 2 months Patti and I have been working really hard to take the next step for our business. Things are definitely moving quickly and in the right direction!

Scrap for a Cure has become Art Inspired Studios!
We are moving from an online kit club to an actual brick and mortar store!
Yup, an actual store front!
I know... we are a little crazy

We love teaching, inspiring others and meeting people, so this was the next logical step for us.
We had started to have store hours in the garage, but the city said "No". We needed another option and fast. We had events scheduled and product to sell.

In just 8 weeks, we have found a location, signed a lease, ordered TONS of product, found and moved a stores worth of fixtures and created a calendar.*Of course this is not as simple as one sentence*
but it is done and in motion.
Our kick off event will be June 12th!Yup, there is so much more to do in 2-1/2 weeks!


On the personal side of things, we've taken several boating trips,celebrated Mad & Mario's birthday,my little sis graduated from College,the school year is winding down which means Open House, Art projects, field trips & parties

Needless to say, we've been on overdrive since expo. But no complaints here!
Life is good!
