Scrap Shop Retreat

We are now taking names for our retreat in 2007. The dates for this fun time are the 27th/28th and 29th of April.

It is held at the lovely Hatchors Manor in the lovely Tasmanian town of Richmond.
The food is divine and the accommodation is very impressive.
We shall have a class on the Saturday after noon so if you wish you may just book in for the Saturday session.
The tutor for this will be announced soon.
Any inquiries please go to the forum and check out all the information

PINK Crop

Well what a wonderful night we had last night. We had a Crop to raise money for Breast Cancer.
I dont think that I have laugh for a while. I did not get too much scrapping done but that is nothing unusual for me I only go to these for the social side. Not feeling too flash today....feel like I have been out on the drink but I did not have a drop, maybe that is the problem.

A lovely night was had by all and in the process we raised some money as well.

Thanks for the support ladies.........

Not Long till Christmas

Well it is a little while away, but I went to the Christmas Cave in Melbourne, and it was just fantastic.
All the lights and the colours and just everything.
Jodii and Anne-Marie are the cause for all of my sudden Christmas Maddness, I know that it is a little early but I am thinking that the tree is going to have to go up soon. Ohh that it when I buy the new WHITE one, so I can have all the pretty PINK decorations on it. (I know I am sad).
But it will be pretty.
Well back to why I am even doing this post, well these photos are taken just inside the door of the Christmas Cave and the bears are animated......and so cute.

Christmas papers should be arriving today so they will be put up on the site as quickly as they come in.
Have a great Day
Sally

In Store Classes

Well after having a quiet day in the store, I finally got around to doing this clip board for a class.
the class will be held on Thursday 19th Oct at 1pm.
If you are interested in it . Please contact the store for more information.........

Kyms Cut Out Class is now available for a sneak-peek, Girls this is truly a lovely LO, and with this class we are giving you the option of 2 different days firstly Wednesday 18th Oct at 7pm..... or Saturday 11th Nov at 2pm..
So book in early for this class.....

OK Lesson 1

Save the post before trying to change it......
As I just lost the whole lot of this message

The post was about how hard it is on keeping up with this but seeing that I am only human (I am sure that some will argue that) I will just have to get into some sort of system thingy happening.

OK Well so far this has been a great week,
Firstly my husband Nev, had his first go-kart race on the weekend and he won his class. It was the Masters and you had to be over 30 to race, It was so funny to watch the roles reversed as Kyle was pit crew for him, and the expressions and hand movements were so his dad, it made us all laugh. eg. "What is he thinking doing a silly move like that" - I feel a Layout on about this one.

On Thursday I am having a visit with the very talented Julie Love, Julie and her friend are here for a retreat, no not mine and I get to have some time to do some sight seeing. I feel a visit to Polly's happening and the Lollies shop. Also the Gorge is nice at the moment. Not sure how I will go with the chair lift. but we will see.

And finally STOCK STOCK and more STOCK. well not that much really but what did come in was the lovely
Cowgirl and Cowboy papers in the CRATE range, they are so lovely, and as soon as I saw this paper it just screamed out Ashlee. The journalling just tells a little about the difference in the 2 girls.

Also being uploaded is the rest of the papers in the CHEEKY range, More PLAIN JANE and the very nice BOHO CHIC
So have a day and I will get back to this to let you know what is also on its way.

Sally

Just uploaded

some of the most fantastic chipboard items that I have seen for a while, the new Fancy Pants Biggest Board, they are 12x12 in size and they are in a pack of 3.
There are 4 different designs in the range.

And still going

Finished this one last night, Love the photo of my son Kyle,

I know that it is not the purpose of the BLOG, but I am kind
of pleased with myself at the moment, just getting these done.

paper is from Fancy Pants, and Basic Grey Rubons out of my stash..

Now I had better get started on Thursdays.......

Day 2

OK this is what I have done today, This is for the SHE album challenge that we have in the forum...
The paper is KI and it is a photo of my Lovely Daughter, Jodie.

Day 1...

What was I thinking???, Me who at the best can sometimes manage 1 layout a fortnight....

Well here is the first one, the photo was taken on Friday Night, here in Launceston at Tara Moss's book signing, If you are into crime thrillers do yourself a favour and read her books, they are well worth the time.

OK 1 down 6 to go....

A Layout A Day

That is the challenge I am setting myself, and to make
it a little fun I would like you to join me.

Register on the siteand set yourself a challenge for a week.
I will post my LO's here and I will set up a Album in the Gallery.

So who wants to play, if you are game?????

Delish.....

Well these lovely papers have arrived in the shop.
So delicate colours, you will have to see them to a
appricate them. I do need to upload the paints to the
Delish area on the site to go with these papers

The chipboard albums are so cool, cant wait to play
with these

Due in before the end of the week is the lovely

MELISSA FRANCES Papers........
so keep an eye out for those.

Sally's or Scrap Shop's Blog?????

Now that is the question I am asking myself at the moment. Do I use this for information just on Scrap Shop or Do I use if for sharing what is happening in my life as well.

Would anyone be interested in reading what I am up to or are they just interested in the info for the shop.?????

So the answer is a little of both, seeing that I am Scrap Shop, I think that I am allowed.

On the shop front, I have got coming the Delish Range it is on its way here, I will share images when it gets here.
Also I had to have the Making Memories Cheeky Range, it is so cute.

Do you have any idea on how many ranges there are out there, I know that they are all nice, but honestly I would need a store the size of Kmart to have them all in there.
So I just pick through the ranges, not alway getting it right, but Ohh well......

First Image.......woohooo

Well.... while I was playing around with this new treasure of mine the postie came in with the full range of 3 Bugs in a Rug Rhapsody Range of Papers, Monograms, Tags and Die Cut Stickers.

Love the colours of these and now I am thinking what can I do with these one....

Hello and Welcome

Well this is a first for me, having a BLOG...

I am really not very good and putting my words together, so
it may look ugly at times and for that I am apologising already.

for those who do not know me, I am the owner of Scrap Shop, a
retail and internet store, here in lovely Tasmania.

I have been open a year now and boy has that gone fast, and
I could not have made it without my fantastic friends, with
out them I honestly would not have managed to get any of this
done.

Thank You my Lovvies.

OK .... well I do hope to keep up with this as it would be really
pointless in having this if I did not.
I want to use this space just to let people know what is happening
in store and just what is going on around here.

I hope to pop some pictures up when I figure that part out, so I can
share how talented my special friends are.......

Well It is coffee time and I really need that every morning.

thanks for stopping by
