Store Update

Allen — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:23:50 +0000

With the weather and roads as they are here in the Seattle area, the store will be CLOSED today.
Our Cricut 101 class that was scheduled for tonight at 6 pm has been rescheduled for next Thurs., Jan. 26th at 6 pm. If you are not able to make that time, please let us know.

If you are interested in taking the class but couldn’t make tonight, yet can now make it, there is still space available. You can sign up online here or call the store to reserve your spot.

Seattle “Snowpocalypse 2012″

Allen — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 17:18:21 +0000

Well they have hyped up this storm and it has gotten national attention. Finally they got it right and it hit big time. With that, our store is closed so that everyone can be safe at home.

So we would like to know what you are doing to enjoy this lovely weather. Share your thoughts and if you would like, share your photos on our special gallery page here.

Remember to be safe, and if you must go out, please take it slow and watch out for other drivers and remember the safety rules for winter driving.

Winter Weather Is Upon Us

Allen — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:07:28 +0000

When I woke up this morning, I was greeted by a beautiful sight, snow. Personally, I love snow. It has such a pristine beauty about it that I can’t explain. Now I know there are mixed feelings about snow, and each person is ok in their feelings but I hope everybody enjoys it in whichever way they feel, whether going out and playing in it or sitting inside curled up nice and warm and just viewing it from the comfort of their home. But if you do go out on the roads, please be safe and be careful.

This also reminds of two things I want to pass along regarding snow:

1) Our monthly Card Club/Swap that is meeting on Jan. 28th and the theme for this months card is “Snow”

2) The store follows the schedule of the schools regarding snow days. Simply put, if the schools are closed due to snow, so will we close. Our store is located in Highline School District so you can get a better idea. This is for the safety of everyone involved. I would recommend that on questionable days you call the store first before venturing out.

So enjoy your day!

Thank you for being such a great follower of Mimi’s, we definitely couldn’t do it without you.

Celebration of Life

Allen — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 04:29:51 +0000

This Saturday, Jan. 14th from 9am-11am at the store, we will be celebrating the wonderful life of Cheri(Mimi) Mosher Sefton. All friends, customers, and anyone touched by her life are welcome to attend.

At the request of the family, flowers can be sent to the shop, or you are welcome to make a donation in Cheri’s name to either the American Cancer Society or Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center to help find a cure to this dreadful disease. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts for the family. Knowing this is a help as they grieve this tragic loss.

What A Weekend!

Allen — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 22:37:58 +0000

This past weekend we held our monthly All Weekend Crop. And despite the passing of Cheri and in honor of her, I believe all had a blast, I know I did! It was great, we had a PJ night on Saturday and, although all did not participate(and that’s ok), it was great to see those who did. From me, I am glad for those that showed and I was grateful to meet all you wonderful ladies.

Of course I wonder how many actually got work done because it seemed that only about half were really working. We saw some old faces show up, and some new ones.

Angela, held an impromptu couponing class that was really helpful, especially in this current economy.

I look forward to next month. I hope to see you there.

Remember to sign up early as spots have been filling up quickly lately.

Thank you Chris, Holly, Brandi, Jen, Meredith, Sheila, Heather, Angela, Danise, Vicki, Heidi, and Noelle(please forgive any spelling errors) for making it a GREAT weekend!

A Sad Day

Allen — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:52:23 +0000

It is with a saddened and heavy heart that I have to report that our founder, Cheri (Mimi), has lost her long battle with cancer early this morning.

A beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, and good friend will be missed. We can gain solace in the fact that her suffering is over and she is at peace.

Please, keep the family in your thoughts and pray for strength to get through this difficult time.

Happy New Year from Mimi’s

Happy Holidays!

We had a great Open House here at Mimi’s Crop Circle last Saturday. Cheri was even able to come into the shop for a few minutes and was thrilled that so many of you were here. There were some fantastic make and takes with very good demonstrators. Many thanks to everyone who helped make it such a great day. We are planning another one to take place in a couple months and you won’t want to miss it. Sheila, our birthday girl, won the door prize drawing. Last but not least, at big thanks to Doris for all the work she put into making Mimi’s Open House a success as well as our Monday demonstrations.

We need volunteers for inventory next week. We will be counting on Monday and Tuesday starting at 10 a.m. each day. If you would like to help, please let me know.

Mimi’s Crop Circle will be closed Friday December 23rd through Sunday January 1st. Our first day of business in 2012 will be Monday January 2nd.

Did you know that we have gift cards available? They make great gifts, especially for the crafter who has everything.

Speaking of gift cards, Mimi’s Crop Circle will honor gift cards from Friends and Company. If you have one or know someone who does, come in and use it here.

We are trying to get classes set for the first two months of 2012 and as we prepare for the new year, we are also looking for several new instructors. If you are interested, please come and talk to me. Mimi’s would like to offer a variety of classes so that there is something for everyone.

For all of you who read to this point, you will now notice that we are having a sale Wednesday and Thursday this week. You will receive 20% off your total purchase (excludes gift cards, special orders, class and event fees). This is not only a great deal for you but we won’t have to count the items next week. Please come and help us out!

I would like to thank you for all your support this past year. Mimi’s Crop Circle can not stay in business without your support. Thank you to our wonderful instructors and demonstrators, great sales reps and to each and every one of you for buying your supplies from us. Thank for your suggestions on ways to better meet your needs and for attending the events we plan for you. We know only too well that without you, Mimi’s Crop Circle would not be here.

Have a Merry Christmas.

Having Trouble Matching Paper?

Allen — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 05:32:30 +0000

Sometimes I find it difficult to find that right solid color to match a patterned paper, do you have the same trouble? Well, while doing some research I came across a great service that Bazzill has on their site. They have taken paper from quite a lot of popular companies like SEI, Little Yellow Bicycle, and more(probably around 30 or so companies) and taken some of their paper lines and matched coordinating colors with them. It is very easy to use. Just select the company from the list on the right and then find the paper and then you will get their suggestion of matching Bazzill paper.

Now while it is far from a complete list, they are continually working on it(according to their site). But I think it is great that they are willing to help you match coordinating colors to your paper. Take a look and see. If you like it then bookmark it.

You can get there here.

I hope you find this useful.
