January Calendar Delay and Holiday Hours

Hello to All:
Okay, so it is getting late, and our internet was down all evening-(wind)!  So, therefore, I am not going to post the Jan. calendar tonight, as it takes almost an hour to get it all written out with times, dates, details,etc. And since we have a late night at the store tomorrow evening for our crop (sign ups still available)- I need to get a few things together for that and then get to bed (tomorrow evening it will be at least 1:30 AM before I hit the bed).  Sorry to disappoint those of you who are awaiting the calendar.

I promise to get it up first thing Friday Morning.  A quick peek with details to follow just to entice you:

As stated below- monthly Crop first Friday of each month - Jan. 7th will be the first one of the year!

Jan. 12th- A simple card class with the New "Fine and Dandy" Papers from My Minds Eye AM and PM class available

Jan. 25th: An adorable "Love" mini album with Misty (sample in store)

Jan. 26th: 2 Valentine stamped images (cards) colored with Copics

Jan. 29th: A fun mini album for the little princess in your life with Heidi

A quick peek into February:  We will have a Valentines "Make-N-Take" on Feb. 5th  (projects in store)  limited to 20 sign-ups!  6 projects will be made for $20  and some of us will have some fun limited quantity "specials and kits" available also during the day for you to purchase!


More to follow Friday morning!


We will be closed Fri- Dec. 31st (new years eve) through our normal Monday Jan. 3rd.  So, if I don't see you tomorrow (Thurs. Dec. 30th) then have a safe and Happy New Years-see you next week!


Hugs to all-Heidi

New Years Eve "EVE" Potluck Crop

Crop to celebrate the upcoming New Year!

Do you want to crop one last time before the New Year?  Then this is the crop for you. We thought it would be fun to have a Potluck crop on December 30th (the night before New Years Eve)! Thus the name "New Years Eve, EVE Crop"!

Now, I know most of you don't work on New Years Eve during the day-so thought this would be a fun way to begin your celebration of the New Year without interupting your New Year's Eve Celebrating with family and friends. (If you work during the day on the 30th-you can sign up to come from 5-midnight for half price $10)

Come join us!!! Sign up to bring either a lunch dish or a dinner dish to share with the group. (722-9200). We will crop from 10am-midnight with prizes and drawings throughout the day all for $20. Call to reserve your spot. (We now have a larger crop space in the new store)!

See you soon- Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Heidi

Hello Friends-

I have decided to keep things relatively simple for the month of August. I know that everyone is busy with getting kids ready for school and for those of you who are teachers, getting ready to go back to work after a nice summer break, sports activities are starting again and it's just a busy time trying to get back into the swing of things. So, with that in mind, our August calendar will look a little sparse. I am also going to be gone for a few days to Seattle and then to Portland Children's Hospital with my daughter and granddaughter, who is having some tests done. So, I have a lot on my plate too!

August: 10 Challenge Club 5:30 pm
Come join us for a fun time. You will recieve a packet of papers, embellishments and a challenge to complete these items during the month of Aug. and to be returned in Sept. for a chance to win a gift certificate for the store. All this for 10$. Pre-registering is required (at least 3 days prior).

August 25- Monthly Card Class
We will be making 2 Thank You cards, and 2 Sympathy Cards. Come learn some fun new techniques for making cards fun! $16 Pre-registration required. (Kits available also)

August 27- Friday Night Crop 5-midnight $8
Come join us for an evening of fun and friends. Pre-registration and payment required.
(at least 8 needed to hold crop)

We are gearing up for our 1 YEAR Anniversary!!!
September is the big month, which promises to bring lots of fun new classes (mini albums, gift card holder, pocket picture book, cards, explosion photo box, copic coloring class, and lots more). We will be giving away a big prize for those who purchase items during the month of Sept. and an even bigger prize for those who sign up for classes!  So keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news in the near future!

If you haven't seen the "W" Womans magazine, we have an article about scrapbooking written in it. It talks about why woman like to scrap, and the store. Find a copy and check it out, or come in and read it at the store.

Also, the "Enjoy" magazine is going to be opening a store on Placer street, across from the downtown parking garage. It will feature artists from the north state. Artists will be selling there wares in the gift store. It is a juried selection process to be a part of the store, and I was selected!!! I will be making and selling my cards in the store. It promises to be a fun adventure. My cards will range in price from 3.50-6.50 and will be very different (much more detailed), than what you see here at Scrappin' Friends. None of the cards I make here at my store, will be the same as what you can purchase at "Enjoy the Store." So, go take a gander down there and "Enjoy the Store" and all it has to offer. It promises to be a fun place to shop for unique gifts!

Come in and see us, it has been a very quite summer!!
We hope to see you soon- Heidi

Hello Everyone-

I am participating in a Muscalur Dystrophy Fundraiser. If you know of someone or have been involved with someone who has MD, then you know how difficult life can be for them. I have had children in my class with MD when I was teaching, and it is sad to see their little faces as they watch other children play and move around the classroom and playground. The longing in their eyes is enough to melt your heart! So, when I was contacted by  our local MD organization to participate in the "Lock Up" to raise $, I said yes!

So, I need to raise bail to get out of jail in the amount of $1600. This will send 2 children to camp this summer. What a fabulous place for children to be children and enjoy life as a child. Any little bit helps, you can go to the link below, or come in to the store and donate by signing a little donation ticket. Thanks so much from the bottom of my heart and from the 2 children I hope to  help get to camp!
