LUCKY Crop on March 7, 2009

2009-02-11T05:19:00.000-08:00

Come join us for our March 7th crop at the Boy's and Girl's Club in Russellville, AR. We only have a few spots left. Cost is $10 paid in advance. Vickie will be teaching her beginner's class for only $5. And Vickie will be teaching a 12x12 LUCKY class for $10. Scrap Shack will be playing "The Price is Right" game. For every $5 spent in the store you will receive a ticket for the game and door prizes. And this crop's challenge is something new and is sure to be a BIG hit with all of the croppers. Short on creativity, look for examples at Scrap Shack's booth to "scraplift".

Cropping in Greenbrier

2009-01-04T17:47:00.000-08:00

I sooo enjoyed cropping in Greenbier yesterday. It is the first time, in I don't know when, that I attended a 12 hr crop and actually cropped. I finished 5 pages and one of them actually has a picture on it. I loved being with my friends, sharing ideas and supplies. And most of all sharing our lives with one another. Thanks so much to Sherry Cobb for letting me ride with her. And THANKS so much to our hostess' Michelle Kirk and Jennifer Stacks of Creative Memories for a great day. I invite all of you to come to one of our crops in Russellville. And mark your calendars for National Scrapbook Day, May 1 & 2, 2009, for our Mega Event here in Russellville.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009-01-01T17:43:00.000-08:00

Wishing ALL my scrapbookking buddies a Happy 2009.

A BIG THANKS TO ALL THE SHOPPERS...

2008-11-06T09:47:00.000-08:00

Vickie tells me that about 20 of our croppers are going to the EXTRAVAGANZA! We are going to have a blast. And Vickie and I will actually get to crop and take classes. AND I am sure that Vickie will win a prize. It was really hard on her when we started hosting COOL CROPS and I told her that she could not win any of the prizes. She is the luckiest person I know...her girls come in a close second. See ya in Hot Springs....

Back from "Fall Fling"

2008-10-25T15:40:00.000-07:00

I just got back from my "Fall Fling" with my Dad, Brother and Sister-in-law. My Mom started the family tradition of having a "Fall Fling". Some people call it a fall foliage tour. My family calls it a "Fall Fling". We went up into northern Missoui to an Old Order Amish community of Jamesport, MO. The countryside was full of beautiful fall leaves, fields of corn ready for harvest, rolling green hills with cattle grazing and the sounds of the clip-clap of the Amish horse and buggies. We also spent a day in Stanberry, MO stomping on the very ground where my Grandmother Hildred Smith Nixon grew up. We were in the very HEARTLAND of AMERICA! I was reminded in my heart of how blessed that I am to have been born an American and to have been born to Christian parents, whose parents were Christians. The song, "America the Beautiful" kept going through my head as we drove the backroads of Missouri...

AMERICA the BEAUTIFUL

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace of thee,

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet

Whose stern impassion'd stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness.

America! America!

God mend thine ev'ry flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law.

O beautiful for heroes prov'd

In liberating strife,

Who more than self their country loved,

And mercy more than life.

America! America!

May God thy gold refine

Till all success be nobleness,

And ev'ry gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream

That sees beyond the years

Thine alabaster cities gleam

Undimmed by human tears.

America! America!

by Katharine Lee Bates

OCTOBER is here

2008-10-01T16:18:00.000-07:00

my favorite time of the year! And it's just a few days until our next COOL CROP (Vickie finally named our crops) at the Russellville, Arkansas Boys and Girls Club on October 18, 2008. The crop is full and Teresa's class is sold out. If you didn't get in, be sure to come SHOP at the Scrap Shack.

I few lucky croppers got to buy some of Scrap Shack's brand new fall emblishments at Teresa's "Dream in Color" class yesterday. All of you are going to want to buy one of everything. Teresa had to have two of each of the Fancy Pants fall glitter cuts.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SCRAP SHACK?

2008-09-22T07:37:00.000-07:00

A BIG THANKS to Debbie Moudy for inviting the Scrap Shack to set up at her crop at the Dardanelle Church of Christ last Friday. There were 30 plus croppers and shoppers. These cropper/shoppers were the first to see the new Queen and Company pearls and rhinestones. Everyone just loved them! And they retail for only $1.49!!! What a deal!!!

The next sighting for the Scrap Shack will be September 30th at Teresa Wilkins' class. Go to Teresa's blog at teresawilkins.blogspot.com to sign up. It's a great class using the new BoBunny double dot paper and emblishments and is priced at only $12. See ya there!

LIBERTY KITS

2008-08-09T12:57:00.000-07:00

For those of you who ordered the Scenic Route Liberty Kits, they have arrived. Several of you paid me last Saturday at our GET HAPPY crop. I will have them available to pick up on Tuesday at Teresa's workshop. If you are not taking Teresa's workshop, let me know and I'll deliver or mail them to you. BTW, Teresa does still have a couple of openings for her workshop. Just follow my link to her blog to see an example and leave her a comment to sign up. She's got a wonderful surprise for everyone taking the workshop. It's a secret so I can't tell...but you will love it!

Get Happy Crop a Great Success!

2008-08-04T15:58:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all of you "HAPPY" croppers for making our crop soooo much fun. April's class was a great hit. How many of you croppers would like to have her back? I dropped a hint to her for National Scrapbook Day 2009. Yes, we are planning that far in advance. In the mean time, watch your email from Vickie to announce sign ups for the October 18th crop. And save those bucks for the NEW fall items that Teresa and I ordered at CHA.

Get Happy Crop on August 2, 2008

2008-07-29T17:54:00.000-07:00

OK, finally, I will no longer have to say "the crop that Vickie and I host" because...Vickie has named our crop. But it is a secret until Saturday. Does anyone out there want to guess? Be sure to come by the Boys and Girls Club Saturday to find out. If you can't come to crop, come to shop. The Scrap Shack is having it's BIGGEST SALE of the year!!! ALL regular priced items are 25% off including paper and cardstock. Each and everyone will receive 40% off one regular priced item with any additional purchase. Some things have already been marked down below cost! Did I tell you about the big basket of ribbon for 10 cents a yard? OK, ok, I could go on and on...you'll just have to come see for yourself. See ya Saturday...

CHA Chicago

2008-07-23T18:42:00.000-07:00

I had a BLAST!!! I am totally in love with Little Yellow Bicycle! Girlfriends, I can't wait for you to see their Halloween and Christmas lines. You are going to want to buy ALL of them. Save up your bucks for the Scrap Shack's Fall Crop.

ALMOST the 4th of July

2008-07-13T15:20:00.000-07:00

I went to my company picnic at beautiful Cove Lake yesterday. My Son and his family came too...so I got lots of pictures of them. And guess what? They were wearing red, white and blue. These will be perfect pictures for the Liberty page kit by Scenic Route; however, they are not on the 4th of July. Then I remembered Teresa's page "Born almost on the 4th of July" about her son that was born on the 3rd of July and I decided that my pages could be about pictures taken on "Almost the 4th of July". Well it's that or nothing since it stormed on and off on the 4th and I did not take a single picture.

August 2nd Crop

2008-07-11T07:37:00.000-07:00

I've been busy getting the Scrap Shack ready for our next crop on August 2nd, 2008. I will be cohosting the crop with Vickie. Teresa is teaching a wonderful class (I got a sneak peek)...it's sold out. We have a guest teacher, April, from out of town. She will be teaching us all about using alcohol ink. This class is a steal at $5!!! I'm signed up for this one! We still have a few spots for the crop and for April's class. Location is the Boy's and Girl's Club in Russellville, Arkansas. OK, I almost forgot...Teresa has taken the new Liberty page kit by Scenic Route and made NINE layouts to display at the crop. Bring your cameras because you will want to scraplift them!!! A limited supply of these kits will be available for purchase at 25% off. The Scrap Shack is having it's biggest sale ever (I just love a sale!). ALL regular priced items will be 25% off. There is a TON of ribbon for 10 cents a yard. And...there's MORE! EVERY cropper will receive 40% off one regular priced item with any additional purchase.
