Back to the real world!
Hope your Christmas celebration was wonderful, ours was, but now it's time to start thinking about January. There are lots of activities and projects rapidly approaching, so here are some quick updates.

Friday, January 1 -- "Remember Me" volume two begins
In addition to the usual page kit clubs and card kit club we'll have ready for you, if you have joined the "Remember Me" volume two album club, your album, extra page protectors, and free first page kit will be ready for you to pick up (or have shipped). (We have extra albums and kits, and you can still join this easy and fun way to create an album about yourself.) See the December 14 post below for all the details.

Friday, January 1 -- "Sketches for Scrapbooking" volume five goes on sale
The fifth in this series of sketch books by Allison Davis and Debbie Sanders will be ready for purchase. For $12.99, you'll get 30 all-new computer sketches with exact measurements and placements of papers and photos! These books are popular from coast to coast! Check out scrapbookgeneration.com to see several examples of our two-page layout sketches.

Friday, January 1 -- "Scrapmania" at Windermere (a new event) registration begins
This is a new venture for Scrapbook Generation! We're hosting a mega-crop for up to 150 people at Windermere Conference Center near Camdenton and the Lake of the Ozarks area on Saturday, April 24. This event will closely resemble Scrap-a-Palooza, but there is one major difference. Scrap-a-Palooza in Springfield is a joint effort with Midwest Family Broadcast Group, and the registration fees go to them. Scrapmania at Windermere is totally a Scrapbook Generation production, and your registration fee goes to SG. You may sign up and pay the $49 registration fee beginning today for this mega-crop beginning at 9 am and ending at 10 pm. The fee includes lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, free mini-classes, demos, a well-stocked goodie bag, and more! And if you haven't seen our fully-stocked on-site store with 40-50 paper collections not yet sold at SG, you'll be extremely impressed! Scrap-a-Palooza in Springfield sells out every time, and we're expecting great things with Scrapmania at Windermere! Great location for those of you in the mid-Missouri area, as well as Kansas City and St. Louis! Need more details? Give us a call and we'll be happy to explain more.

Saturday, January 2 -- Super-Saver Scrapbooking Sessions
We'll be using 10 pieces of paper and a 12x12 sheet of die-cuts by Crate Paper and making three double-page layouts...all for the incredible price of only $9! Call to register and pre-pay.

Saturday, January 9 -- "Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker" Day
We're hosting the world premiere of two of Nikki's six new lines, and you'll get to see these new products BEFORE they are released at CHA in Anaheim later in January! There will be mini-super-saver sessions in which we make two double-page layouts, free mini-classes, prizes, three huge chocolate fountains, and best of all, you have the chance to go home with TWO free page kits, each a $12.99 value! Scroll down and read the December 19 post for more specific details. Please call to register and pre-pay for the super-saver sessions.

Saturday, January 16 -- Scrap-a-Palooza at Remingtons in Springfield
Less than 75 of the 225 spots remain for this mega-fun mega crop in Springfield. Register at star1051.fm. Radio ads have already started, and the remaining spots go quickly once that begins! I'll keep you posted on specific numbers, but I'd advise not cutting it too close...we ended up with a huge waiting list last time, and lots of disappointed people who didn't get registered in time to make the cut.
