Summer Happenings 2006 The great summer weather is finally here. Many opportunities for great summer pictures; vacations, weddings, sports and fun. We’re all so busy during the summer. I’ve decided not to only hold any classes and events on the weekends I’ll have classes on Wednesday evenings instead. So many of you are gone on the weekends Wednesday seems to be the best way to accommodate everyone, and still have drop ins on Thursday and Friday evenings. So for June, July and August there will be classes on Wednesday evenings only. I will hold private bookings for individuals or groups on Mondays evenings. There will be no classes or drop ins from July 22 to August 7 as I will be on holidays. My website seems to be doing well so be sure to check it often for all the latest classes, events, products, monthly specials, coupons and more. Be sure to check the yahoo calendar for all the dates and information you need. As for classes and events this season, I am trying to include everything I have to offer at least once this summer ( scrapbooking classes, accordion album, card making, paper bag album, kids and teen nights, and ladies night out. Watch for many new classes to start in the fall. A few of you have already signed up for the Birthday club which started this year. Be sure to let me know when your Birthday is so you can get a special surprise for your special day. Make sure you check out the anniversary layout contest information in the “what’s new” section of the website. Be sure to vote for your favourite layout. Stay tuned to see who wins the $20.00 gift certificate. Lots of great ideas to scrap lift. This contest was such a hit I may offer a kit for $5.00 every season and have a similar contest, let me know if you’d be interested. Drop ins will continue for Thursday and Friday evenings (7:30 to 9:30PM). There is a voluntary $2.00 fee to help cover costs of using tools, glue, punches etc. Included in the drop in fee you can borrow any of my Scrapbooking magazines. The Canadian Scrapbooker magazine is a big hit, I will continue to carry it the summer issue will be here soon, reserve your copy today. Come visit me during Winchester Dairyfest, August 12th, I will have a table the sidewalk sale. Congratulations to Angela Daly, Susan Sloane, Melanie Young and Carmen Musgrave for winning prizes over the last few months. The frequent Buyer card program will continue. There is one double stamp day offered each month. Check the web site to find out which day is double stamp day. Don’t have a card or know about the program be sure to ask me about it. I continue to order the latest scrapbooking products from all the newest designers and companies. If there is a particular item you are looking for let me know and I’ll try to find it. I try to keep my prices lower than any other store and to stock only products I really trust and would use myself. New companies include Crate Paper and We R Memory Keepers. Some of my new favourite products include: Junkitz salsa paperz, vellum glue dots, the new Bazzill card stock and the new corner punches by EK Success. The “take a sticker leave a sticker” basket is getting lots of use and everyone seems to really enjoy it. A few customers are leaving scraps and taking scraps. The more we have the better, one person’s scrap is another’s treasure. Also if you have 12 x 12 patterned paper you don’t like, you can trade it from the miscellaneous pattered paper pile as well. The card swaps are going great. I love getting the cards made by other people. I can’t bare to give them away and I have been using all the great ideas. Let me know if you are interested in card swap #3. It won’t be starting until September. If you need to shop I am open for shopping during class hours as well. As always I will make custom cards, mini albums or scrapbooks for you. I will hold private or group bookings as well. Want to book my room for a crop with your friends let me know and I can host it here Hope you all have a great summer, get out there and take tons of pictures. I’m Looking forward to being home with my children this summer, who says the two’s are terrible! Happy Scrapping -Tina |
