Wishful Thinking would like to extend
our heartfelt condolences to all the people who've lost belongings
this summer from the extreme flooding and tornados throughout the
midwest. We know many of you have lost your treasured photos, scrapbooks
and craft supplies. Please let
us know if your craft room or studio sustained water damage so that
we can help you. Although your treasured
photos may be lost, we may be able to help you replenish some of
your craft supplies as you begin to restore your homes.
As we do every summer, we are having our annual Used Stamp and Craft
Sale, but with an added twist this time. For items that are not
sold during the sale, the seller has the option of either taking
the unsold items home or donating them to flood victims.
We are also holding a collection of items that you would like to
donate from now until the end of September. We'll combine those
donations with those from some of our vendors and other donations
we received during our Rubber Stamping Weekend Retreat this past
June.
This fall we will put together care packages for all of those who
have contacted us and to any flood victims in the state of Indiana
that reside in counties deemed Federal Disaster Areas. Please call
us at the shop or send us an e-mail.
We are partnering with Scrap-a-holic
in Columbus, IN so feel free to contact them as well.
Please visit www.popphoto.com
to learn more about how to save your photos from flood damage (search
"flood damage"). For those of you in Brown & Bartholomew
Counties, call us if you need photo restoration - we are looking
for a local photographer to help you!
Be
sure to include these summer sales & events on your calendar.
