National Scrapbooking Day festivities

Our weekend kick-off of National Scrapbooking Day festivities starts two weeks from today. We hope you can join us Friday and Saturday, May 3-4 to enjoy shopping and scrapbooking -- our two favorite pastimes!

Today, we're explaining local activities, including the three layouts we'll be making in the Super Saver Scrapbooking sessions on Saturday, May 4. (Check back Friday for information about new online activities for our long-distance customers!)

How to participate in the Super-Savers:
• Register and pre-pay for sessions at 10, 12:30 or 2:30 (call 417-886-0440);
• Cost to make the three layouts at SG is $9
We only have space for 30 people each session, so please sign up as soon as possible.
Prizes for those who attend!
• If you attend one of the three sessions, you will receive a free set of Thickers alphas, a $5 value;
• One person in each of the three sessions will win a $50 gift card.
Other info:
• Because of the extra numbers of people who will be involved on NSD, no kits will be available (other than for those people who are members of the Super Sketch Club);
• If you are attending the NSD crop on May 3-4 and want to participate in the Super-Saver, you need to register and pre-pay, but you do not need to choose one of the three session times. We'll have a special session for you in the crop building, with the same gifts and prizes as those that will be given away in the store sessions.
Here are the other activities we have planned for local shoppers.
