Interesting Fact: Dresden is home of the Longaberger© Basket Company

Many of you have visited our SCRAPBOOK store - "Sweetpea's Memories" in Dresden, Ohio and  have asked me about my page kits, our laser/die cut designs, basket themed paper and more so I put together this website for you.  I hope that you enjoy it!

Well, here it is!  "Bee Time" is starting this week and I'm looking so forward to seeing so many of you, new friends and "old"!  I hope that you all are as excited about this time of year as I am!
 
I currently have 17 new scrapbook kits on the walls just waiting for you!  16 of them are double page kits and there is 1 - one page kit.  I have 6 more in the working process and hope to have them completed and up and waiting for you by this Saturday.  We have over 400 new die/laser cuts original designs and quite a few of those are basket and bee ones, so you will have lots to choose from when you come to town!
 
Have a fantastic time in Columbus and at The Homestead and don't forget we are here in Dresden eager to see you! 
 
Hugs,

The weeks have flown by and we are seeing all the beautiful blossoms on the trees, bushes, and flowers around Dresden.  The trees down Main Street have bloomed and gone to green and the redbud, dogwood, forsythia and lilacs have been unblieveable this year!  I will post a few pictures for you to see.  Look at the center of this page under the first picture.
 
The wedding album was finally finished and sent off (but no, not even when I said it would be done in the last blog!) and the newlyweds called me the day they received it and were very happy and excited about it!  That made me feel grand!
 
We are looking forward to seeing all of you who will be able to come to
the Basketfest Summer Celebation on June 6-7.  We have new "laser" cuts just
for that event, plus all the other new ones, both basket themed, sports, vacation,
and more themes than I can mention! 
 
See you soon!

This month is zipping right along!  We've had some sunny, warm days in Dresden and it's so lovely to see the earth and trees turning green.
 
Let's see, what's new?  Well, I'm still working on the wedding album!  I know, I know, what's taking so long?!  Life!  There is just so much to do and I'm not good at concentrating on one thing until it's complete!  I WILL complete the album and send it off this week! 
 
I have been working a lot on new "laser" cuts and having a grand time doing that.  That means that one day this week it is time to add them to the website. 
 
For any of you that are thinking of coming our way and want a great place to stay AND have a scrap night with your friends I recommend
The Abberley BnB just outside of Dresden in the beautiful countryside.
You can check them out at www.abberleyhousebnb.com
 
Have a great week!

My goodness!  It's already April 10th!  Where does the time go?
One of our nephews and his wife had their baby today!  Paul and
I are now great uncle and great aunt to 15 great nieces and nephews!
The last baby born to my side of the family was about 8 years ago, so
this little unexpected niece is a real treasure!
 
Just about finished the wedding album!  Got a few embellishments
left to put on and some typing to do on it and then it will be off to
the newlyweds!  Whew!  It's fairly simple compared to what so many
of you do, but I'm about getting the pictures in and journaling, so I'm
happy with it.  I am using a lot of things in the album that I picked
up when I was at the rehersal dinner and the wedding dinner, like
the placecards and the dinner menu and even the instructions on
how to get to the restaurant! 
 
Finally warming up!  We had a beautiful weekend last wkend in
Dresden and it's supposed to be nice again this wkend.  We'll take it!
 
Working on more new "laser cuts"!  Love them!  Really neat ones!
Will have them on the site next week sometime.
 
Better run!  More work to do! 
Hugs, Rachel

Our Dresden store hours are as follows:
From March 1st through December 15th each year
Monday through Saturday - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday - 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
 
Now, having said that you need to know a couple of things. March weather is "iffy" and there are other factors also, so if you plan to come to the store during that time it is best to call and if we don't answer the phone then leave a message with your name and phone number and we will get back to you to establish a time we can meet you at the store.  The rest of the year we are open at the before mentioned hours, but being "baby boomer" adults (which means we are not as young as we used to be!) we have the option to occasionally adjust our hours (rarely though!) and sometimes we might take a day off in the middle of the week or open or close a little early or a little late!  So if you are coming from a distance, give us a call or email me to see if we have any adjustments to our regular hours during the time you plan to be in town.
