Barb's Journal on the Acre

What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

As a child, we started the Noel Club, which is still held each Christmas Eve today.  My grandfather was really the reason it all came about.  On Christmas Eve, we would ride around caroling and taking home made fruit cakes shut-oins and friends on our way to church for the candle light service.  Then came the Noel Club.  We would drive around looking at Christmas lights and every time we saw a noel sign, my grandfather would sing Oh Well, Oh well and we would all join in.  -Barb

News from Anna and Plaid

AG has stopped production for the year.  We will continue to carry all her product until they run out.  There are already some Christmas papers that are out of stock.

Plaid is no longer selling directly to us.  We have been set up with a distributor.  The problem is that they only carry 6 of the more than 80 Anna Griffin items we stock.  The new company is working with us to get the items I need into their inventory.  We are already low, but we have received two small shipments from them.  Thank you for your patience.

Doing the Peppermint Twist

Watch for Brenda Walton's new Christmas Collection, Peppermint Twist. I love the poinsettia paper and embellishments. Also we will be getting the new Ancestry.com collection. Elegant papers and embellished stickers in beautiful earth tones.

August Class Kits

Kits are now in house and we are working on getting the classes produced. We anticipate getting the early notification out this weekend. Sneak Peak: The two page layout and card are from the Charlotte Collection and perfect for that picture of someone special, anniversary, or wedding.

Merry Christmas

Only 4 months until Christmas. You can never start too early to gather together papers and embellishments. There are four new Christmas Collections coming the first part of September. You won't want to miss out on our first sleigh load of elegant to whimsical goodies.

July Class Kits

This past week Anna Griffin Inc. was closed for inventory.  Because of inventory and the 4th holiday, the kits were shipped later than usual.  We have just received them.  Once we get the classes produced, the early notification will go out.  You are going to love the drop-down box project.

Home Office being discontinued.

Anna has decided to discontinue the 12X12 albums and portfolios.  Home Office items will be on sale while supplies last.

Sold Out in 48 Hours!

When we first saw samples of the 7 New Anna Griffin Collections, we knew it would sell quickly, but not this quickly.  If you missed out on our first shipment, don't miss out on the next three shipments that are on their way. Have a blessed weekend- Barb

7 New Collections

"I am writing to apologize in advance for the large order I will place for the new AG papers.   I have seen some of the papers, and just to alert your ordering department, I will probably order at least (at least!) five pieces of each paper."  from M.S.
