Words of Wisdom

  • The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things. - Henry Ward Beecher

  • Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. - Mark Twain
  • The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn't being said. - Peter F. Drucker
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein

Thickers: Love 'em!

Last Friday I was cranky. Very cranky. I vented on my Lemons2Lemonade blog about my inability to find Thickers and Heidi Swapp ghost letters anywhere locally and that the American Crafts and Heidi Swapp website shops did not ship to Canada (a fact I didn't find out until my shopping cart was full to overflowing! Grr.)

Can I just say A CHERRY ON TOP rocks. Really rocks.

I do not like the idea that I have to pay duty - on anything, ever - but their product costs are almost 1/3 off what we pay here and shipping costs aren't totally out of line. More to the point, they had exactly the Thickers I wanted ... and then some. I don't know why I didn't think of A Cherry On Top in the first place. I do a lot of on-line ordering as I find the stores in the area do not carry a full line or don't carry certain products at all.

I'd better get cracking and start making some pages. You'll be getting used to seeing "Thickers" on all of my upcoming layouts:

Where I Buy Fun Supplies

  • A Cherry On Top
    I can't "toot" loud enough to let you know how fantastic this online resource is: tons of product, great prices, FAST shipping - a week quicker than any other US online retailer. Love them, love them, love them. If you have to pay duty and taxes I'd rather pay it quick than have to wait for the privilege!
  • Forever Scrapbooks
    Located a few kms away in Burlington. Great when I need something quick, I can usually find it here.
  • Pages In Time (Michigan)
    A bit of a hike, but well worth the trip if you happen to be in Michigan.
  • Pick of the Patch (Port Coquitlam, BC)
    Fantastic monthly kit, look forward to opening it each month. It always includes something I can't find locally.
  • Scrapbooks By Design (Toronto)
    Fabulous place, but the website does take f.o.r.e.v.e.r. to load.
  • The Crafty Scrapper (Texas)
    Oh my, a feast for the eyes, your fingers get itchy just walking in the front door, so much stuff to behold. Located in Waxahatchie, Texas it's a bit far, good thing they have a website and decent shipping!
