RECAP CHA

I was so happy to be around scrapbook fanatics. I just want to say thank you to all my new friends I made at CHA. I promise to keep in contact with you.

To all the other persons I met....too many to name! A great big scrappy HELLO!!!!!

I'm not here as a tourist but as I said earlier i'm attending the CHA trade show. i participated in a Prima Marketing class which was really fast paced but I kept with the class anyway. I have tons of new ideas for classes and can't wait to share it all! I did take pictures and i promise to post them tomorrow.

Sorry I deserted you guys for a couple of days. I promise I'll make it up to you......somehow!
This is just an update:

1. I just got back for Ft. Lauderdale, the weather there was horrible...glad to be back in the sunshine....

2. I'm awaiting the tables and chairs for the scrappy room(that's where all the creative juices will flow) can't wait to hang with you guys there.....

3. Great News...I'm going to CHA for the first time.....looking forward to seeing all the new products!

4. I've been working on "Introductory Kits".....so you don't have to be timid about scrapbooking anymore...come sit, relax, laugh, build new friendships, create and preserve memories

5. I've got PICTURES........Here are some pics of the new store

Opening Of The Scrapbook Cottage

Yippee,

I am so happy to announce that i "will" be opening in August ......that's after i come back from CHA.

To ALL: Thank you very much for your patience, I know I've tired out your ears with my continous talking about SCRAPBOOKING, but it was for a good cause.

Now my friends and interested persons....I hope to see you all there!!!!

There will be lots of door prizes and give-aways........ Be one of the first to purchase and enter to win many supplies!!!!!!

To M-C friends.......If you make the trip, be prepared to have lots of fun and excitment, see the Bahamas like never before and "scrap" like never before!

We've Had So Much "FUN"

M-C .....my friend, I'm so sorry the time just flew right pass us. At least you were able to taste many Bahamain dishes.
Crack Conch, Curry Mutton, Miami Vice(strawbeery and pine colada mix) the bahamian way, Crab N'Rice(and these are land crabs), Conch fritters(which i promise to bring when i go back to tampa) and many others.

Well I didn't get a chance to go to CKC.....I was so busy trying to get my tables and chairs for the classroom......and i still failed!!! Ikea (in Ft Lauderdale didn't have my tables and then Ikea (in Orlando didn't have my chairs)....so that was almost a wasted trip because i STILL had to order them online...and I could have done that at HOME...lol.

Well.....good news...I'm all set to go to CHA....first time going there and i'm all prepared. M-C told me what to expect.....Yes M-C, I won't forget to take my pocket calender!!!!lol.....

Well ...Have to run now....

Take care and God bless...

Loving it in The Bahamas

I promised you guys a Picture of M-C enjoying a Bahamian Mango.........well I did it! M-C is just having a ball down here, trying all the Bahamain dishes. I'm glad she finally got her passport, she's been a great friend encouraging and guiding me some what.....lol.....

First Scrapbooking store in the Bahamas

Hello all scrappers, I am pleased to announce a new scrapbook store opening in Nassau...... Please don't be shy....ask as many questions as you like. Let me tell you a bit about myself. Scrapbooking became my HOBBY about 5 years ago, then it became a PASSION about 3 years ago, then it became a MUST DO {like having to breathe} about a year ago. From then it's been a part of my must have list.

I was teaching primary grade for some time and my best subject was arts & crafts, I got more excited about it than the kids...lol......! I went to a seminar in Texas 2 years ago, and the speaker asked, How many of you wake up in the morning and you have a smile on your face, just elated to go to work? Definitely.......my hands stayed down. He encouraged us to go to our rooms that evening and think about what brings you joy, and what relaxes you.

At that time the only answer I came up with was SCRAPBOOKING! From that minute on I've been planning, working my butt off to get my store open.

I just want to say a special Thank You to:

1. Ann @ Scrapbook Your Art Out
2. Amy, Stacy & of course "ANGELIA" @ Scrappy Boutique
3. M-C Graves...........my new best friend in scrapbboking

And Micheal.......the best love in the world.....who has "pushed" me to follow my dreams at any cost.{smooches}

And I can't forget......my twin......my daughter ...Dana! She's been the biggest help of all, opening boxes, stacking products on the shelves and helping me input the products into my POS system!

Thanks to ALL!!!!!!!!

Look for some pics of the store in my next blog.
Take Care My Fellow Scrappers
