I was visiting Lisa Kaus's blog the other day  and read about this project she had posted a link to on her site. For all of us out there that appreciate our little "Mom and Pop"  Stores of all kinds this is a site about the importance of  supporting them. Which one of those shops would you miss the most if it was not there???? Most of us in the creative world have many of these. Mine being Debbie Bick's  Frenzy Stamper in old town Scottsdale . It is so important at this time when our economy is having such a tough time to support these store s more then ever with our business. Please remember this when making your next purchase. Spend the extra time to stop by your favorite store. Say hi to a real store owner who may well  become  a very good friend   and who also really cares about you and appreciates you . Please  buy your purchases from them  it is such a  bargain for all you  will get for your money !!!
