NSD crop information...
As the time nears for SG's weekend crop, here are a few extra pieces of information that will be helpful to those of you attending. (We only have two spots still available -- call 417-886-0440.)
• Crop building doors will open at 9:30 am on Friday. The crop officially starts at 10 am, but this will allow you to unload and get settled first. There is a ramp in front of the Sprint part of the shopping center which will take you right to the front door of the crop building, which is between SG and Sprint. We have a couple of rolling carts that we'll have available for you to use.
• Karin will be making a seating chart to make the best use of the space. If you or your group wants to be with specific other people and we don't already know about it, please send an email to karin@mail.com and let her know by Tuesday evening. Also, if you are a member of the ScrapnYap (Peeps) message board and are attending, please make sure that Karin knows so that she can seat you with the group.
• Crop doors will open at 9 am on Saturday, to cut down on congestion in the parking lot (SG opens at 10 am). Because we'll have limited parking when both croppers and shoppers are combined, we're hoping that the croppers will be able to park closer to Battlefield Road, leaving the area directly in front of SG open for shoppers. (And the more carpooling this day, the better!)
• Drinks will be served in cans and bottles, so you might consider bringing along your favorite cup with a lid.
• Crazy weather this time of year, and you know that getting the temperature right for everyone is impossible. Please make sure to bring a light jacket or sweater just in case you need it.
• We'll have special tables set up for electronic items, but it would be a good idea to bring power strips and extension cords, plus perhaps tape to secure any cords that might be a hazard in walking paths.
• Allison Davis has created four great paid classes for the crop -- all will be offered on Friday and will take place in Studio G, our classroom. We'll be showing those here later, with information about how to register and/or purchase a kit.
• As for information about dining possibilities, and about the layout contests, we'll have that for you at your place when you arrive on Friday.

National Scrapbooking Day invitation...
Celebrations are always fun, and once a year, we get the chance to celebrate the hobby that continues to capture our memories, to inspire our creativity, and to bring us new friends both near and far.
We hope you're saving the dates for SG's National Scrapbooking Day festivities -- Friday and Saturday, May 3-4. We've expanded our activities in ways we never dreamed of this year!
Locally:
• We'll have 70 people cropping next door in the original SG store building until midnight both days.
• Shoppers on Friday who spend $25 get a $15 goodie bag. All shoppers get double "SG Loyalty" points. We'll have special sales, and each $25 in purchases earns you a ticket for one of five $100 gifts baskets from sponsors My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Echo Park, Fancy Pants, and Simple Stories.
• Saturday will feature special Super Saver Scrapbooking sessions, where everyone attending receives a $5 set of Thickers alphas, and three lucky people win $50 gift cards. (Call 417-886-0440 to register for one of the sessions.)
• Saturday shoppers also earn double "SG Loyalty" points, special sales will continue, and once again, each $25 in purchases earns you a ticket for one of five $100 gifts baskets from sponsors My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Echo Park, Fancy Pants, and Simple Stories.
• Also on Saturday, demos and free mini-classes by Lindsey Amschler and Katrina Hunt will be going on in the lobby area, and the chocolate buffet will be available all day.
Online:
• We'll be hosting our first "online crop" -- totally free and for everyone, by the way -- featuring two days of challenges, chats and prizes with the SG gals and real-life scrapbooking experts Janet (from the East Coast), Penny (from Texas), Mari (from Florida), and Katrina (from SG-land). From time to time, Allison Davis will be able to jump in and chat, too!
• Next week, we'll announce the chat schedule and let you know which hostess will be chatting at what times. We're also supplying them with a ton of prizes to award, based on just how well you know your SG facts!
• The challenge topics have already been announced. General topics are stars, project life, one-page and two-page sketches, journaling, products, colors, and manufacturers. May 3-4, on the time schedule listed in an earlier post, here on the blog we'll give the specific prompt for each challenge. You can win prizes by linking your projects, or just play along for the fun of it! (Challenges will appear in the main blog feed on the left of the page, and the chat box will be on the right.)
• We'll be announcing some great online sales, and also a reward for chatting with us!
• And just like local customers, our online customers will earn a ticket for each $25 in purchases May 3-4. We have five $100 gift baskets, identical to the store baskets, to give away!
Overall:
• Scrapbook Generation and sponsors My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Echo Park, Fancy Pants, and Simple Stories will be giving away thousands of dollars of prizes, both in-store and online. It's our way of letting all our customers know just how much we appreciate them!
• Keep watching the blog next week as we unveil more information about local and online activities.

Go grab your free sketch download for April!
This is a fantastic download day, with products ranging from e-books to single sketches to another great themed bundle of goodies by Allison Davis.
We're thrilled to offer our travel sketch book as a download. Many people have told us that it is their go-to favorite, because the layouts all use lots of uncropped photos, and because several of the sketches feature 5x7s and 8x10s. To make the sketches even more versatile, the 8x10s have a grid that shows what the layout would look like with four smaller photos in place of the enlargement.
E-book:
Sketches for Scrapbooking: Travel Sketches -- $12
• Downloadable version of 30 double-page travel sketches from our best-selling Sketches For Scrapbooking series.
• The sketches feature a larger number of uncropped photos, plus more journaling space than usual. They also work wonderfully for other topics, too!

We're thrilled to offer our travel sketch book as a download. Many people have told us that it is their go-to favorite, because the layouts all use lots of uncropped photos, and because several of the sketches feature 5x7s and 8x10s. To make the sketches even more versatile, the 8x10s have a grid that shows what the layout would look like with four smaller photos in place of the enlargement.

One step closer!
I know I've been a little quiet the last week. There's a reason for that...I've been finishing the last of the layouts for Scrapbook Generation's One on One, our newest sketch book!
The book features 24 one-page sketches and color layouts that each feature one 4x6 photo, either landscape or portrait style. The sketches and layouts range from simple and uncluttered to more detailed and heavily embellished. I tried to create a good mix of sketches that would work for any topic you might want to scrapbook. Can't wait for you to see it!
The book will soon be off to the printer, and we hope to have the finished product ready by the end of April. We don't plan to do pre-orders for this book. When we have it here at SG, we'll start selling it both at the store and online. And of course, One on One will also be available as an e-book!
