Many of you have wanted a private tour of our new retail Boutique in Eustis, FL, so I made a little video to show you all around!  There was quite a bit of traffic while we were filming the outside portion of the video, so I apologize for the extraneous noise.  I do hope you’ll enjoy a little peak inside, and hope you’ll visit the next time you’re nearby.

You can also view this video in larger format on our YouTube channel.

I also wanted to give you a birds-eye view of our warehouse area, where all of your orders are prepared and shipped. It’s not quite as *pretty* as the front of the store, but it is highly functional, and the Team works very hard to make sure everything is processed quickly and correctly. I hope you’ll enjoy meeting the Team behind My Favorite Things in a new and exciting way!

Each month, we hold a Guest Designer Contest as part of the New Release Preparations.  The winner receives over $200 in merchandise from the following month’s product release.  The real fun begins though when the winner joins us for our weekly Wednesday Stamp Club challenge and Teaser Time for our upcoming release!

This month’s challenge was to Hit the Books! In reviewing the many beautiful entries this month, one particular entry really stood out. It was not only book themed, the creator designed and completed an entire mini book.  Many products from My Favorite Things were combined into one cohesive project. I’m sure you’ll agree… this entry was lovingly created with spectacular detail!

This month we are welcoming back a repeat winner, Angel Rivera! Please stop by Angel’s blog to see all all of her interior pages of her Happy Anniversary Brown Bag Book and to congratulate her on her big win!  Angel will be joining us beginning with this week’s Wednesday Stamp Club.   Congratulations Angel!

Tomorrow I’ll have our latest round of Favorite Finds, featuring five of the outstanding cards created by our customers this week.  Tonight though, I’m here to announce our very Favorite Find for the month of February. At the end of the month (or perhaps sometimes, the beginning of the next…) we award our Favorite Find to one project that we’ve simply fallen in love with.

Today, please stop by to congratulate Bonnie with her beautiful á la modes: Genie.  You can find Bonnie’s original post here on her blog The Lucky Clucker.  This sweet genie was created for one of our Wednesday Stamp Club challenges, are you playing along with us each week? If not, there’s no time like the present, get inspired by this fabulous project by Bonnie and come join us for this week’s sketch!

We’ll meet you soon over at the MFT Forum on Splitcoast Stampers for tonight’s New Release Party.  You can find us HERE from 8-10pm EST. Be sure to bring your Shopping List to help out with any contest questions this evening! MFT_March 2012_ShoppingList  And if you’re new to the Release Party experience, you can find an FAQ here to help you out.
