Late last week, when we thought we were getting 20 zillion feet of snow, I was worried that we would lose a Saturday's business right before Christmas. No small business needs that! As we all know, that prediction of snow turned out to be slightly off, and we ended up having a great day here at Scrapbook Generation. Actually, we had better attendance at our activities than usual! Go figure.

Design Team member Marti Blattert's sold-out Christmas layout class (pictured above) had perfect attendance, and over 50 people participated in our Hall of Fame sketch sessions. We had a great time laughing about the snow non-event, and sharpening our scrapbooking skills in the company of lots of great people.

New sketch book to be available soon...

The sketch sessions continue to be our most popular activities, and because of the many requests for a book of our sketches, I'm working on that right now! I hope to have a book of at least 30 sketches, all Debbie or Allison originals, ready for sale by Saturday! The book will include all of the sketches from sessions we're hosted in 2007, plus some bonus ones Ali and I have created just for the book.

New products on the way...

New items on the horizon include two beautiful Valentine/love collections by My Minds Eye, and the Ancestry.com collection by K & Company. Wednesday, we'll receive the new white supply carousel by Making Memories, and the EZ Pull ribbon purse, in three colors. We'll also have more of the Bazzill stitching templates that sold out so quickly.

New club starting...

For those of you interested in the new "Remember Them" album club that starts January 1, I've made the opening page, and it's on display here at the store, with the album used for the club. Remember Them will feature pages for all of your family members, even down to aunts and uncles and cousins. While facts will have a place in the book, we'll focus on special memories and go beyond journaling included in a typical heritage album. For more information about the club, see an earlier post below.

New year on the way...

We want to thank you so much for your continued support. As we approach 2008, I'm reminded of how blessed we are here to have made such wonderful friends through the growth of Scrapbook Generation. Now that we're in our fourth year, many of you feel like family, and those relationships mean so much to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for shopping with us!
