STORE CLOSING....
It was a hard decision for me to sell Frozen Memories but felt it was the right thing for my family. Due to some unusual circumstances, I find myself back as owner of Frozen Memories. Petersen’s Ice Cream will not be purchasing the store. This has come as a complete surprise to me. With that, we have lost the lease of the store. I will be liquidating the merchandise starting today and it will go through the 10th of November.
Wonderful friends were made over the time Becky and I have run the store. I appreciate all the help and love you have shown my family with the passing of Becky.
Your support of the store will never be forgotten.
Thanks to all you.
We will start our liquidation sale starting today November 1st. Please be advised that the credit card/debit machine is no longer working for us. So please be prepared to pay in cash or a check.
The sale schedule for the scrapbook side is as follows:
Nov. 1-2 30% off Everything in the Store
Nov. 3-6 50% off Everything in the Store
Nov. 7-8 75% off Everything in the Store
Nov. 9-11 80% off Everything in the Store
We hope to see you all before we plan to close the store on November 11th. We would love to have a chance to thank you for all your support through the years.
Sincerely,
Dom and the Frozen Memories Family

Update...
Can't believe it's already October and we've taken a break from blogging ;0P
Hope your summer was full of fun events and of course, many picture taking involved.
Maybe routine has settled in as back to school is underway and hopefully without a hitch! Are you getting those school pictures back from the photographers? I have! So I pulled out my personalized school papers from the store and put my son's photo with some embellishments on it = DONE! We have a HUGE selection of area schools and some clubs too. Call the store and ask them if they have your school in the bunch. Schools as far as Schaumburg to Bartlett to W. Chicago to Wheaton to...the list is LONG. So please call 630-830-7492.
The weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter...we are also changing to our winter hours by opening the store from 11:00am so please note that when you come visit us. It is a good time to get some hot coffee and to shop, to chat or to create!
Now it's getting ready for the upcoming holidays that's probably on everyone's minds. If you have little ones (or maybe the big ones), you know Halloween is around the corner. I've seen a lot of yards already decorated for the fun event! We too have our place full of gouls and other fun creatures luring and hanging around!
Here are some of the items that will help decorate your home or create a page or two...
I'm sure these papers will not last long! They are so cute especially the newest ones I saw come from Bo Bunny! There is a good selection. Come grab your stash soon!!
Also I saw these new Bo Bunny papers for Christmas too...
Did you know the store carries JustRite Stampers too? I really enjoy these stamps and did you know you can personalize stamps with JustRite? They are so versatile and have so many choices!
So come visit us at the store...remember our hours have changed to winter time so we'll be opening from 11:00AM effective yesterday! LOL!!

Just a reminder... April 6th is last day to pre-order ZELDA...
we didn't want you to miss out on this unique
opportunity...
QuicKutz's has opened their vault and the
collector's series "ZELDA" is off and running...
they are bringing back a favorite discontinued
product in a new, revamped collector's format.
Unlike the standard silver dies, a Collector's
Series product will have a unique color and
come in special packaging, emphasizing its
exclusivity and rareness.
These dies will only be available in the
quantities that we purchases with no
opportunity for reorders. Once these
limited edition products are gone, they'll
be back in the vault for good.
The first product they are bringing back
is the quirky and fun Zelda alphabet.
This long-time favorite was originally
released back in 2003 in Classic size on
2x2 dies. As a Collector's Edition, Zelda
will be bigger and better than ever,
released in Grand size and on seven 4x8
dies (sold together) with a retail value of
$99.99. I need your orders by April 6th
in order to put in my order. They will be
in the store sometime in June. Quickutz
will not allow us to give any discounts
on this Collector’s Series. Don't miss out
on this opportunity!!!
Keep watching our blog for other Collector
Series opportunities!!

I Spy!
But I will only share a little since you have to come to the store and see them in real life (IRL)!! Can you guess what's in the house?
Just love these PUFFY Thickers from American Craft. I've used the alphabet ones when they first came out and you'll end up using them over and over again. Now they came out with more fun fonts and shapes! I want them all! LOL!!
The papers are ready to brighten up your pages...love these fun colors and my favorite is the owls, trees, rain boots...oh, wait, the cityscape...ah! I can't decide! LOL!! What is your favorite...there's more but you'll have to come in and take a look ;0)
Speaking of Spring, I also took a picture of the Quickutz (QK) recent releases and they will go so well with the American Craft items. Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself....how can you not resist these?!
Also, QK came out with adhesive-back paper and they're not your ordinary paper! We're talking about cork, magnet, vellum and metal mediums. So easy to make some funky accents for your pages and cards. Notice the store has the "All-In-One" binder storage too!
--------------------------------------------
On the ice cream side, we have some great new flavors! HINT: Girl Scout Cookies!!
OMGoodness! I tasted them all and they are the same as those cookies! So if you haven't had enough to fill your GS addiction, come to the parlor and have a scoop or two or three....heehee!!! What flavors are we talking about....chocolate, mint, caramel, pomegranate!! OK...I'm not saying anymore! You will have to taste them yourselves! LOL!!
Hope to see you all at the store!

Hope to see you on Thursday!

Sunday, January 25, 2009
A "Quick" Word....
I wanted to show you all the newest release from QK...it's not in the sale but just LOVE these dies!
Also a reminder that the store has taken these dies and others to pre-cut for your convenience! So if you are only interested in using a die once, they have it done for you! Some are already embellished and some are not but how easy is it just to adhere on your page, card or anything else you want to accent!
