Spring Madness

As the school year comes to an end we are slowing down and working on projects that have been postponed throughout the year(s). We always start out ambitious and full of ideas and while we make a dent there is always more to do. As orders pick up and Rush descends upon us, unfinished tasks once more become "shelved." Not so this year - we have a young, very ambitious crew who are taking Spring Cleaning to a new level. They are showing little mercy as they unearth box after box of items stashed here and there...some of them interesting, some not so much. It is sometimes hard to let go of things that have a memory attached or perhaps just something that you believe someone can use. While we are re-organizing so that the shipping room is arranged more efficiently, we are also facing inventory at the end of June. It does make purchasing difficult right now - we don't want overstock on June 30th but want to make sure our customers have what they need in the meantime. There will be frequent specials listed on Graphic's facebook and twitter pages - these discounts will apply to in stock merchandise only and no other discounts will apply. The week before inventory we are holding a huge Inventory Sale - June 23, 24th and 25th. There will be great deals on discontinued product or product that is not pretty (a dented can, water-stained tarlatan, etc.) We have lots of paper to offer and many of the old Handschy inks as well as what we have left of the old Graphic W/S block inks. There will be lots of overstocked items as well.

My MAY Blog offering is 25% off all Createx Colors in stock and the Printmaking in the Sun DVD (U.S. & P.A.L. versions) for $20.
