ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND

We had a fabulous first day at the show, something different for us as we don't usually do shows but it was lovely to see so many familiar faces and catch up with friends in the industry who we don't see often due to the fact we're all running our own businesses.

Our booth at the Scrapbook and Paper Craft Expo is tiny but it sure got a lot of attention yesterday with people keen to not miss out on the huge bargains we had.  The biggest hit was our buckets of flowers I think as customers stripped the entire wall of them.

 It was this busy all day until about 3 when we could finally grab some a good old fashioned vegemite sandwich (well at least a few bites of it anyway).  

Let's see what today brings.

Remember all our specials continue in store so our local customers need not venture far for their fix this weekend and as a bonus we are open Monday 9.30am - 2pm so that visitors to Brisbane can also visit the store.

Our kits come complete with full colour photos, your card bases, all patterned paper and card stock, embellishments, die cuts, ribbons etc to complete the full set.  Samples are generally also available in store for further reference and you are welcome to use our classroom tables for free to compile your projects.  Wednesday Scrap n Chats or Saturday crops are a great time to work on kits also as you don't need to think about what to bring and can also socialise with others and see what they are working on.
