The Stamping Gala “Tease” Begins . . .

The locals will appreciate this – those of you out in the hinterlands will either drool in jealousy or make travel plans (let me know if you need hotel suggestions).  Our annual Stamping Gala begins in our store on Monday, August 9 – and we’ll have special guests, demos, make it/take its, classes, and three trunk shows going on all week long leading up to the Cincinnati convention on August 13-14.

So for the next few days, look for a tease of what you can expect.  Today, we’ll look at our USArtQuest Gala on Monday, August 9 – a day full of FREE make it/take it projects from our local instructors . . .

  1. You know, you really are a terrible tease! As if all the store specials, sidewalk sales etc aren't enough now you tease those of us not fortunate enough to live within driving distance of Marco's with an all day make-n-take. Not to mention you have to throw in all those yummy looking pictures! And I just know that in a day or two I'll get even more in my inbox! YOU ARE A CRUEL MAN!
