We're not in Kansas anymore...or ARE we?!?

How 'bout them storms last night?!?! CRAZY!

Jody was getting ready to teach her class, and, while some of the students couldn't make it, not even a twister could keep some of our customers away! Jamie snapped this photo on her way in...YIKES!!

Thanks for braving the storm and showing up for a great class! Jody will be having a make-up class for those who couldn't make it...so...if you're interested in making an adorable card using Copic markers, you can still sign up :) Call the store or come in for more details.

AND...don't forget that August 1st is coupon day. We'll honor any local competitor's coupon for up to 30% off an item.

Have a GREAT day!

Linda

I've been meaning to do this for a couple weeks now, but I think I'm still in denial :)

Our very lovely Linda has left us! She's got some nerve, right?!?!

Her husband recently retired, so Linda thought it was time for her to retire as well. They are ready to travel and enjoy the next chapter of their lives.

Linda was a great addition to our staff...always going the extra mile when helping customers and treating the store as if it were her own. She would take home the couch cushions and clean them, bring in her floor steamer for the bathroom and make sure we were fully stocked with sodas for the crop room. Linda always wore a smile on her face and interacted with customers in a way that would make any store owner proud. (The picture above was taken on Black Friday, 2007. After a really CRAZY morning, she's still smiling!)

So...while we're all sad that she's not a part of our team any longer, we're happy that she still loves to scrapbook and will be joining us on most Fridays as a cropper! (If you want to stop by and say hi, that's where she'll be!)

Thank you Linda for being with us from the very beginning...we appreciate YOU and are GRATEFUL for all the good times we've shared.

Thankfully, there's no good-bye...just see ya later!

Wacky Wednesday!

Whoa! We have a really CRAZY, WACKY Wednesday special for you today!!!

This week is CHA (the bi-annual Craft and Hobby Association tradeshow) in Chicago where all the new Fall and Winter lines are being introduced. Needless to say, we've seen LOTS that we love!

So...you know how it goes... in order to make room for the NEW stuff, we've got to move out some of the NOT-SO-NEW stuff.

TODAY ONLY

20% off ALL paper and embellishments!!!

Rules:

* You MUST mention this Wacky Wednesday sale at the TIME OF PURCHASE. No refunds will be given AFTER the transaction.

*By PAPER, we mean...well, paper. Cardstock, patterned paper, stationary. By embellishments, we mean stickers, rub-ons, brads, gems, flowers, journal pads and more.

*No other coupons or discounts apply. Not valid on clearance items, custom titles, Hump Day kits. Other exclusions may apply. See store for details.

Announcing our first Consignment Sale!

Are you ready to "upgrade" your scrapbook supplies? Tired of looking at the same old paper and stickers laying around, thinking 'ONE DAY I'll use it', but you never do?!?! And, how many times have you gone through your stash and said, "What was I thinking?!?"

Join us in September for our very first Consignment Sale!

Here's how it's gonna work...

If you want to SELL:

1. If you'd like to sell some of your previously loved items, come on in and register. We've got a registration form that will explain all the details.
2. After you register, we'll assign a code so that you can price your items. The code will allow US to ring them up for YOU...this way, you don't even have to be there!
3. After the sale weekend is over, we'll give you a Beach Scrapbooks gift certificate for the ENTIRE amount of your sales. What a great way for you to trade in the old for NEW!

If you want to VOLUNTEER:

We are in need of volunteers to help throughout the weekend. In exchange for a few hours of your time, all volunteers will get to shop BEFORE the general public. This will give you the opportunity to get the items you want, FIRST!

Volunteers will work in groups of 2 (so if you want to volunteer with a friend, go for it!). Space is very limited and will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

If you want to SHOP:

The sale will be September 11 - 13...watch your email and our blog for more information as we get closer.

Cricut is not a product line that we typically carry...BUT...we do get a lot of requests for it. So, we thought we'd bring in a few of their BRAND NEW Seasonal Cartridges and see what happens.

It's our birthday weekend!!

This weekend, Beach Scrapbooks turns 3!

I was looking through pictures of our store when we very first opened. Wow...how things have changed!! A few things really stood out. We had FAR less inventory, LOTS of rolled stickers and very few 4x4 QuicKutz dies. But the biggest thing? Our kids. Oh my, how they have GROWN!

For those who frequently visit us, you've probably seen these four little people running around the store. The two blondes are Melissa's kids and the other two are mine. That's Kate with them...she used to work at Beach Scrapbooks but is now living the life working on a cruise ship. Time sure does fly when you're having fun!

I'll post more pictures this week, but for now, I've got to get my things together and head to the store.

I hope to see you at 1 so you can eat some of this gigantic birthday cake with us :)

Birthday celebration!

TOMORROW!!!
Join us for cake and celebrate our birthday!
1:00 p.m.
