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

August 27- Friday Night Crop 5-midnight $8

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
