Several new groups have arrived at Scrapbook Generation this week. Fancy Pants has filled a much-needed category with a great group called "Like Father, Like Son." Great masculine colors and themes!

From We R Memory Keepers, a huge school collection. As a former teacher, school would be the last thing I'd usually be thinking about at this time of year, but with Drew starting kindergarten this fall, I may have to indulge! As usual, in addition to papers and stickers, we have paper pads, cardstock pads, pre-made layouts, and those awesome 99-cent acrylic stamp sets.

And for something totally different, we have two pastel groups from Melissa Frances, and there are several mini-albums unlike anything you've seen before.

Memorial weekend news...
Scrapbook Generation will be open Monday, but with holiday hours. We'd love to have you stop by from 10 - 5. Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend.

Scrap-a-Palooza update...
There are now less than 90 spots available in our mega-fun mega crop at Remington's, set for June 26. Chris Louzader from the radio station gives me an update every week, and the crop is filling fast. With almost a month to go, this one is way ahead of the sign-up rates from the past. If you plan to go, please don't wait too late to confirm your spot. If you've attended before, you know what a bargain the $49 price is for what you get and for what you do! To sign up, just go to scrapbookgeneration.com for a link to the radio station registration page.

This week, I'll be ordering a whole new store to take with us. We always tell you that there will be 40-50 new paper collections that haven't been sold here yet, but this time I think we may go OVER 50. This is the most fun part of my job. I love to shop for you!

Guest teacher Tammy Tutterow classes update...
The Saturday class is full, and now there are only three spots left in the Friday evening class, the "Count It All Joy" mini-album using lots of fun supplies by Tattered Angels. We're so excited about the fun weekend we'll all have learning new things from this special guest.

Retreat registration update...
Don't forget that Tuesday, June 1 is the day that registration opens for our two fall retreats in Branson. If you attended one of SG's spring retreats, you have the month of June to register before we open up any remaining spots to others on July 1. Your weekend choices are October 15-17 and October 22-24.
