For about a week and a half our webstore's shopping cart and affiliate links have been down. In the emails flying about it all in my hosts yahoo group its because of a php update. Our host reseller is suppose to fix the effected pages on her end but she had gotten sick and was working from bed and the last we heard from her was the 10th. Unfortunately most of us are small sites with not much extra capital to just transfer hosts and start anew from scratch . So in the meantime if you are in need of ordering anything from the webstore email me direct and we can work it out, also all affiliate will get credit if you tell me your link or who referred you.

Thanks so much for being patient and supportive! Since the store back end is erroring I cant even go in there to change the homepage info so shoppers know that when they get to adding something to their cart it just goes to a blank page!

If you can suggest someone that works with CRE loaded pro and Jrox affiliate program and they are willing to trade some site work for product send them my way!

I broke my laptop screen and Im in mid finals!

We formated it and went to drop it off at the store to be fixed, WELL we have to mail it . So now Im on a formated laptop using a spare monitor until finals is over.

Im having to use the web version of everything...IMs, my email and all that jazz. So that leads me to why I havent gotten any scrapbooking done. Finals is all consuming and with a hyper toddler and colicy 3 month old I really feel like Im going INSANE ! School was so easy before kiddos.

So heres another shameless plug for our new ebay account to sell premade items. Currently there is a double layout up and soon to be more. We are desperate to earn enough capital to earn a cricut so that we can pump out even more cool items for your viewing and purchasing pleasure.

Please bid! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=270239543039

Also Im looking into those tear bear kit thingies I keep seeing. Anyone know the best way to learn how to make them? When I find out ill share about it.

We have FINALLY gotten a good enough variety of donations to start on making some kits for the Give a Kid a Kit Fundraiser.

Out of all donations we were able to only make 27 kits and have left over donations still but not enough to make any more full kits. (pics will be up soon of some kits)

Each kit has:
10 papers
6 cardstock
1 tool (punch, scissor, or stencil)
1 paper embellishment
1 fancy embellishments
1 alpha sticker
1 sticker sheet
various cardstock scraps in large and small in squares and triangles

So we need a fresh supply of all those items PLUS we really need adhesives. Glue sticks can be cheap and work great. Thats really the one thing lacking in these kits.
