And again...

What a wonderful weekend it was. At the beach, scrapbooking, laughing & eating! I was able to get so much done. I spent the first night working on my daughters birthday invites. She is a very "picky" girl, and it turned out that she loved them. Shocked me, really. Sydni is turning 13 in just a few days. Geez.. A Sleepover... BUT on the same day though, Dani comes home for her summer break, so yeah!
Sydni was in a play last night at her school. She did a wonderful job with her British accent. Then there was curtain call, and Sydni was the "Shining Star!" She was the last one to come out to take her bow, all by herself, and the crowd even clapped and yelled louder. Yep, tears falling out the side of my eyes while I took a few pictures. I was so proud of her. She yearns for a big part, and she had it! The Lord knows the desires of our hearts. She was just beautiful! Precious one.
I will be heading out of town again to go to Lake Charles. Have more to prepare for NSD. You girls that have signed up are really in for a treat! Also, it's time to see "Rick Springfield!" Ha... Then my party ends for a while. Back to work, regularly. I do look forward to it though. I still love walking into the store even after 3 years. (How many times have I told you that already?) With more new products still coming in, there is excitement in the air. So, have a good day and come back to visit soon!

As Promised...

Here are the pictures for Sunday's Mini Class, "Party Explosion Box." The class will be taught @ 3:00. It's only a $7.00 class fee. The supplies you will need are: Scissors, adhesive, glue dots, and liquid glue. You must call by Saturday to sign up. We will only be able to take 15 people. This is another great class for both kids and adults. Hope to have you join us!

Oops...

Yall, the "teens & tweens" class is on Saturday, the 12th! I had orignally said the 13th. Scratch that! Melissa will be teaching it from 10:00 - 12:30. The pictures are on the post below. So sorry for the date error! The girls will be making an autograph book which is perfect for pictures and your friends memorable messages. Also you will make a cute bank to stash all your summer cash! Only kids 8 and up. Because it is a younger audience, seating is very limited.
The supplies that you will need are:
A paper cutter, adhesive, scissors, black pen and a ruler.

I've been packing away, getting ready to "Retreat to the Beach" again. My clothes are not packed but my "Junk" is! I also have my mom and 2 aunts coming. Should I say this on my blog? (depends) Ha... the "old ladies" are a trip! A great nickname for them. Then I'll be home for a couple of days and then you'll never guess who a friend & I are going to see?? This will show if you are about the same age as us. "Rick Springfield!" Ha...He will be at Delta Downs in Vinton, La., if anyone wants to come! Isn't that funny.. I'll try and get a picture or two!

I have another picture of a mini class to show you tomorrow night, coming on Sunday... Precious.
Have a happy rest of the week..

Amazed...

I tell you, I had a feeling that our National Scrapbook Day would sell out, but in 1 day and 2 hours! Geez. And then, this weekend is our weekend crop and it only has like 2 spots left. You all must be in the scrapbooking mood. I am too! I spent the "entire" day, about 10 hours organizing pictures and matching paper. I hadn't really brought anything home from the store since Teresa's stuff came in, but when Heidi Grace, Fancy Pants & Scenic Route came in, I kinda lost control. I'm gonna get to use it too! After I get to play on a few pages, we will then get busy just cutting and getting all of our NSD ready. You gals coming will be in for a treat!

I wanted to remind you about the "Jewelry" that will be displayed at the store this Sunday from 1-4. Remember, all the proceeds goes to missions in India. I've bought a few already! ooch!

Also, Melissa will be our new "Teens & Tweens" teacher. She has a few classes coming up for your girls ages 8 & up. The first one coming is on April 13th, from 10:00-12:30. Check it out. The girls will be making a Bank & an Autograph-Photo album.

National Scrapbook Day Details

Many of you have asked what will be going on at The Scrapbook Junkie for "National Scrapbook Day." Let me just say that it won't be DAY, it will be WEEKEND!

For all customers:
* The first 25 customers, each day, will receive an Imaginise stamp for free.
* Every 7th receipt will receive a door prize.
* We will have drawings for a $100, & two - $50 gift certificates. Your name will go into these drawings for each $25.00 you spend, (including clearance items.) I like it better this way, because YOU choose what YOU want. Drawings to be held first thing on Sunday when the store opens.
AND...
*As you walk through the door you will draw from a junk pail full of 40% coupons for a featured vendor discount. For instance, 1 Heidi Swapp item of your choice @ 40% off.
(No stamps on gift certificate give away, 40% item special or clearance items.)

We will also have a "WEEKEND CROP." If you've ever been to our "Scrapbook Junkie Alternative" which we have on the same weekend as CKU, or our "Lock In" then you know that we've had a blast and get a whole bunch of goodies. Let me tell you a little bit about it, for those of you who haven't heard about these functions.

* Crop hours: Friday, May 2nd, 10:00 am - 2:00 am & Saturday, May 3rd, 10:00 am - 2:00 am. Wow! 28 hours of crop time!
* Dinner on Friday night and both lunch & dinner on Saturday. (fajitas, to name one - yummm.) No need to get up during the day for anything! Also, sweets & salts, and plenty to drink. Even Starbucks coffee will be brewed! We are here to serve you!

But wait! That's not all! (Mike and I always say this during infomercials.)

* Gift certificate giveaways
* Door prizes
* Games
* Mini Classes
* Challenges
* Cool gifts at your seat waiting for you... even a personal one!

But wait! (Haha.) Not all secrets will be revealed until then... You will be well pleased.

The cost for this event will be $85.00. Sign-Ups begin on Monday, March 31st @ 10:00 am. Trust us, you won't be sorry! Ask anyone who has attended either one of these before!

Just one more thing: If you are signed up for our emails and are not getting them, then send us an email @ beth@thescrapbookjunkie.net. Supposedly, sbcglobal sees it as spam until you accept it??? Many customers have told me that they do find them in their bulk mail. And also the houston.rr's come back to us. Please inform us of any changes.

I'll send out other announcements later, due to this one being soooo long!

YES!

Basic Grey is here!!! Moving out the old into clearance, in with the new!!!

Winner!

She deserves a round of applause!!!

Mrs. Tarin Criddle... Congrats!!!

Thanks to all of you who participated in our "2nd product challenge" at the new store!

The way that Tarin used her Maya Road Arrow is what made the final decision. We have more product challenges coming your way. It cost you nothing! Just a little time and creativity. Tarin will recieve a $25.00 gift certificate and her layout will be displayed in our front window and/or our front counter for 1 month!
