THE SCRAPBOOK ROOM

Hey...its Gidge wishing you all a Happy New Year!!

Thats right...I hacked into The Scrapbook Room Blog! I am going to try to regularly post on here bringing you all something a bit different from time to time...and also to try take some pressure off Pollie, as we all know how busy that woman is!

Sometimes I may have some secret specials for you...that Pauline will honour at the regular crop nights or at special events. All you will have to do is tell her what I posted on the blog and you will get that special. If you show up at The Scrapbook Room the night I've posted a special and haven't read the blog you just may miss out!

I hope you check back in often to read what I post! I look forward to playing on Pollie's Blog with you all this year! Happy Scrappin'

And.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to all...

and to all a Happy New Year too!

Christmas Papers! Oh My!

Wow! All I can say is these new Christmas lines are fantastic. I think I want one of each.

They will be on display at the shop beginning Wednesday night. They will also be for sale--first come, first served but if you buy one, you cannot take it for a few days. I want to allow people time to come in and take a peek.

I will be placing one more order early next week and that will be it until January so if you're wanting Christmas papers (or anything else) come and see me. You can also send in significant others or anyone else who might want to buy you a gift. Or you could play "dumb" and have me call them--like you didn't know I was! Or you could reserve stuff and send them in! Or you could get someone to buy you one of my beautiful gift certificates. Lots of choices....

For now...here's a sneak peek at some of these beautiful paper choices...be sure to stop in Wednesday evening to see just how beautiful they are! They range in price from about $9.00 (Karen Foster packs) to about $25.00 (Basic Grey packs). Pre-orders will require pre-payment.

Here's the Karen Foster kit...

 

And Little Yellow Bicycle....

   

And Cosmo Cricket's "Oh Joy"...

 

Then there's Basic Grey's Wassail...

 

and of course the beautiful Fancy Pants with clear overlays and so much more...

 

So come on in and check them out....(sigh) such nice papers...

See you Wednesday?

Smile for the Day...

So it's snowing and yuckky out and you need a smile...here you go...

(I found this while clearing out the old emails on my OLD computer...hope it doesn't offend)...

A Woman's Poem

He didn't like the casserole

And he didn't like my cake.

My biscuits were too hard...

Not like his mother used to make.

I didn't perk the coffee right

He didn't like the stew,

I didn't mend his socks

The way his mother used to do.

I pondered for an answer

I was looking for a clue.

Then I turned around and smacked him...

Like his Mother used to do.

Haha....seriously...I am out in cyberspace looking at all the fantastic new Christmas papers. Anyone looking? Watch for a couple of new Christmas packs in my order that's coming...and be sure to let me know if there are any lines you're partial to.

You may even want to pre-order so that you're ready to get all those Christmas memories scrapbooked at the two day PJ crop in January!

See you Wednesday?
