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!

Here it is July already and Bee Time in Dresden is less than a month away!  I am working on some GREAT new Bee kits and can't wait for you to see them!  Be sure and take pictures of everything at Bee Time, pictures of the "Bee Boys", pictures of what you eat during that time, what you are wearing, hanging out with your friends, what you buy, just everything!  That's a little hint for one or two of the kits you will want to be sure and take home with you!  We are also going to have OUTSTANDING SALE PRICES on our line of coasters, pens, notepads, grippers, and magnets during bee time, so be ready to load 'em up and take 'em home!  Also, for the first time, we are going to have HOURLY SPECIALS on scrapbooking supplies during Dresden "Bee" Days (you know, that day at the end of your bee time when you come to town and shop and visit!).
 
For all of you that take the time to come to town and shop and visit, we appreciate you and your business so much!  Thanks for all the support you have given us over the years.
 
See you soon!
 
Hugs,

The winter is finally over, brrrr, it was a cold one here!  Not much snow, but lots
of cold! 
 
We had a lovely, beautiful, sunny weekend for Collectors Club gathering and it was fabulous to see so many of you out and about visiting in town!  Thanks to
all of you who came to Dresden and many, many thanks to those of you who came into our store and said "Hello", and shopped.  With the economy being what it is right now, we are really grateful for every dollar spent in our store and will continue to bring in new scrapbooking products and kits, both the ones that I design and other types of scrapbooking kit projects from several of our suppliers.
 
I wish you all a prosperous, healthy, beautiful spring. 
 
Hugs,
Rachel

Wow!  It's been awhile since I have updated this blog!  It is already the very end of October and I don't know where the months have gone!  This was a busy month for me.  I went to the first family reunion that I have gone to in over 40 yrs and met 65 "new" cousins!  By new, I mean ones that I had never met before from my mom's Norwegian side of the family.  We were very fortunate to have 4 members of the family actually come over from Norway for this visit!  We had a wonderful time and I am so happy that I come from such a nice family!  My great Grandfather was a blacksmith (as was one of my grandfathers and at least one of my great uncles) and I was able to actually see the building that was  originally built in approximately 1905 for his shop.  Another cousin had a picture of GG standing in the doorway of the shop!  Amazing! 
 
I just came back from shooting wedding pictures for a friend in Pennsylvania and had a wonderful time there AND the pictures turned out terrific!  I am so pleased with them and am anxious to start making her wedding scrapbook (my gift to them), but that will have to wait for a few weeks. 
 
Our fall color seemed to take a long time to kick in, but we finally got some beautiful color before all the leaves fell off.
There were still lots of leaves on the trees in Penn. and their color was just gorgeous! 
 
I hope you all have a very safe Halloween night, a thankful and warm Thanksgiving day with your families and hope to see many of you for the Dresden Christmas parade festivities the first weekend in December.

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!

Our Dresden store hours are as follows:
Sunday - Thursday - 1 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wednesday - closed
Friday - Saturday - 11 p.m. to 5 p.m.
 
If you are planning to come to the store during the week with a bus trip and want us to be sure and be open for you before or after our scheduled hours, please let us know and we will do our best to accomodate you.   
 
  During 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 an extra 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.
