HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE IN HONOUR OF DOUGLAS GREEN

Brenda and Gary Green, Douglas’s parents have asked if we would help to organise a Halloween challenge in honour of their son Douglas…. Halloween was one of Douglas’s favourite times of the year so we have decided to put out this challenge in honour of our dear friend Douglas.  The prize for the winner from Dougies scrapping community will be donated by the Green family.

This challenge is open to all customers, staff, friends and family of A Place to Create and the Green family.

Details of the challenge-

Create a scrapbooking page (one page) in the theme of Halloween.  Use products you have on hand or purchase what you need to create your page.  You have to include the word ‘BOO’ on your page and the layout must include photos in Halloween theme.

Your name and phone number must be on the back of your entry.

All entries must be submitted to A Place to Create by 4pm Saturday the 26^th of October.  Brenda and Gary Green will be at our Halloween Crop on the 26^th and they will decide the winner.

Please note: By entering you agree to allow your page to be on display at A Place to Create until the end of November 2013, and agree that your page may appear on A Place to Creates blog and facebook page.

THANK YOU

I'm a bit overwhelmed really, but thank you... Gayle xxx

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO A PLACE TO CREATE

This week A Place to Create turns three years old- WOW!

I'm not exactly sure where I thought A Place to Create would be 3 years after we opened, but I am pleased to say we still have our doors open and I have just signed a new lease.  

This decision was not taken lightly as we have had our fair share of ups and downs, a few health issues to say the least and of course the sad loss of one of our very own.

Unfortunately the internet and today's economic climate has a lot to do with the survival of a small business and I would like to thank our amazing customers and friends for your support over the past 3 years. I hope that you will continue to support our little store where we can give you that personal service, be able to share and impart our knowledge, share a friendly chat and a laugh and also give you a place that you feel comfortable to be able to share your stories, dreams and sometimes disappointments with us, something you don't get on the internet.  

Our birthday reminds us that without the support from our valued customers and friends we would not still be open today like many other scrapbooking stores that we've all seen close recently- we thank you all for your support. 

Not to be forgotten- I'd also like to thank my wonderful staff, Jenni and Emma for all of your support and hard work which also contributes to the success of a  business.

regards Gayle
