Wow-what a weekend!!

Well, we truly had an amazing weekend. The store hosted guest teacher and designer Trisha Ladouceur and she taught 8 amazing classes. All of our customers lucky enough to take one, some or all of her classes left the store on a creative high, and with a prize to boot. Trisha is truly an inspiration and full of knowledge. We want to send her a big 'THANK YOU' for visiting sunny south Florida, and although we are sad to see her go, we look forward to an encore in February 2009! For those of you that couldn't attend your favorite class, we do have a few kits available for sale that include full color pictures and instructions.

Up next is our 2nd Annual Scrappink Charity Crop. This Saturday, September 27th we will be cropping for 14 hours with food, fun and friends all for a good cause. If you haven't signed up yet, we still have a few spots left. Call the store today to reserve your spot and remember a portion of the crop fee is a charitable donation. If you can't attend the crop, you can purchase raffle tickets for some awesome prizes. Tickets can be purchased throughout the month of October and we will be drawing the winners on October 31st. All raffle ticket sale proceeds will be donated directly to the Susan G. Komen organization as well.

That wraps up September, but we have more fun starting in October. The store is participating in several events in the coming months. Here's a recap of what's to come:
