Thanks for making NSD weekend SUCH a success!

We had a major weekend crop for our local customers this past weekend. I even gave them a challenge sheet that Deanna had cooked up for us. The weekend was a great success...we had a full house on each day and lots of fun. On Friday the group (even one male!) played and cropped til Midnight and we had some winners from our Calendar game. On Saturday we were lucky enough to have Stephenie our very own Fiskateers girl crop in *our* store. The demos she did were awesome and the croppers were so excited by the goodies she brought for everyone. We were so surprised that she did that for them. I was sorry to have missed it (but *someone* had to slave over a hot stove to make that pasta sauce ;) The group cropped til Midnight on Saturday too.

Then on Sunday I was lucky enough to be able to crop WITH the group and what a fun group they are. We talked TheNana into going out for Cold Stone ice cream for us and we all had a great time laughing and scrapping. I even got 3 pages done- amazing since we were super busy and I kept stopping to help Caitlin and Brittany check people out.

I'm constantly amazed by the people around our store who are willing and wanting to see us make it a success. From our loyal employees to our customers...I'm truly touched to see such great friends come together to make this a fun filled weekend.

We are going to be offering this fun type weekend crop once a month- so look for changes to our June calendar to come soon.

We did our GRAND PRIZE drawing on Sunday am before the doors opened and congrats to one of our regulars- Cindy G. for winning the prize package worth over $50. This package included: A new Glue Arts tape gun, 6x6 Cupcake Basic Grey paper pad, heart chipboard album, purse chipboard album, a bazzill frame for altering and a bunch of other goodies. It was too cute to get her phone message saying she had emailed but forgot to thank us for the gift. The real thanks goes to her and people like her for supporting our store!!!!

We are proud to be Plainfield's Scrapbook store.

For my online girls- I also thank you and am so grateful for the support the DT and customers give us. From our online store to our huge message board and gallery- I love having my home away from home. And I hope all of you are doing your best on our week's challenges. Don't be so busy scrapping that you forget to take advantage of our sales....it's an awesome deal and we are going to extend it by one day.

The sale will end officially on a week from today because when I got to work this am- the power went out right as we opened (an omen? LOL). We allowed some shoppers in but when I went to get Anna from preschool we realized that the power was out everywhere. So we closed up finally and called it a day. It was a nightmare here today. The power is back on in the schools but we didn't have power still to Scrap Addict. Hopefully by tomorrow. Amazing how much we rely on power. If you tried to call or email I wasn't able to get them at work (cordless phones) and we couldn't open the register or check out customers. :(

Have a great week and I'll scan in my layouts later this week!
