Thanks to Facebook....

I have neglected the blog terribly!

Facebook is such an easy way to get information out quickly....i apologize!

What's new? We have had a wonderful year, traveling all over Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida! We attended tons of shows and met great new friends! We have wrapped up our year of traveling and are preparing for 2012!

We will start the year off Jan 19-21, 2012 at Gigi'sBeach Retreat in Orange Beach Alabama. Then Crop Connection in Jackson, Ms January 26-28. Give us as shout on Facebook if we will see you there.

We are also loading product onto our online store. You will be able to purchase inks, adhesive, stickles and varied larger products. We hope to have it completed by December 1st.

Hope you have a wonderful week, and we will post again soon!

Kicking off 2011 with a bang!

What a way to start off our year!  Gigi's Beach Retreat was a BLAST!  We met some of the most AWESOME ladies!  We sold, laughed, scrapped and didn't get into too terribly much trouble (LOL)!  As always, Gina and her girls were wonderful hostess'!  We LOVE the hotel and the beach was gorgeous.  We look forward to January every year!   Thank you to all of our old and new customers for making it a huge success!

In just a few weeks we will be at Crop Celebration in Hammond, La.  This is a fantastic event that benefits the Restoration Pregnancy Center.  All proceeds from the crop spot fees and vendor booth fees to silent auctions go directly to Restoration Pregnancy House! 

We are in the process of posting NEW kits on-line as well as offering sale prices on some winter/snow themes.  Check out the on-line store for specials! 

Also, be watching our online store for new "products"!  We will be adding a small selection of chalk inks, un-do and stickles for purchase to help complete your kits!

Until next time.......have a wonderful scrappy time!

Melanie, Lisa and Beverly!

2 months... REALLY??

It has been 2 months (almost to the day) since we have updated the blog!  We came home exhausted from Michigan and thought we were going to take "off" until after Thanksgiving..........well how about until after New Year's!  Phew, we were really tired!

But WE ARE BACK!  We have kicked off the New Year with our 1st event in Jackson Mississippi!  Let me say, if you have never been to Crop Connection...you HAVE got to give it a try!  It is 3 of the sweetest ladies that put this on!  They treat the croppers and vendors like Queens!  Check them out, they will have another one in the Summer!

We no sooner get home and we will be leaving for Perdido Beach for Gigi's Scrapbooking Retreat!  We LOVE this one too (we get to hang out with Gina and Lenora!!!)  Not to mention our N.O. gals and MS gals!  Oh and did I mention it is on the Beach too!!!!

February we will be in Hammond at Crop Celebration.  It is a great crop raising money for Restoration Pregnancy Center!

March is SCRAPFEST!  That is always HUGE and a wonderful time!  Kerry and Megan have it down pat!!

So, all this being said.....we have some work to do!  We will begin posting kits online again next week!

Don't forget to check out our website and find us on FACEBOOK!

Happy 2011 and we hope your are making wonderful memories every day!

Melanie, Lisa and Beverly!

Home Sweet Home!

After 2,545 miles, 205 gallons of gas, a million potty stops, shopping, meeting great new friends and TONS of food...We are home!  If you ever decide to drive to Michigan...it is a LONGGGGG drive, but so beautiful!  Frankenmuth is our hands down favorite City!

The event was wonderful, we met some many sweet new friends!  Tons of new business connections as well.
I do know you have to check out Gotta Scrap Inn and you can also follow them of FACEBOOK!  I only saw the brochure and am DYING to go!  The amenities are awesome and the owner and her family are incredible!  Go check it out!

We have had our last show for the year....seems odd!  We will start 2011 with a BANG!  2 shows back to back!  First Crop Connection the Gigi's Beach Retreat (one of our fav's!).  We will be evaluating our 2011 schedule in the next few weeks and will post asap!

For now, it is unpacking, re-posting kits on-line and making new kits to post EVERY day!

We also will be getting our gift certificates ready to mail to all of the Santa's in YOUR life!  So for now, we hope you have a great week!
Melanie, Lisa and Beverly

Day 2..........

Well, we survived our 1st day in Michigan at Great! Scrapbook Events!  We have met some amazing women!  But for the most part we have laughed until we hurt!  Travelling with Shelly and Anette from Scrapbooks and More has been a hoot!!!  We all make a great team!

Falling down on the job.....

I just realized it has been almost 2 weeks since we updated the blog.....oops!

SDV/Orlando was a HUGE success and a BLAST! (Even if we never got to see Mickey :(...)  We met some wonderful (and crazy) new friends!  We sold a ton!  And laughed til we hurt! 

We traveled with Gina and Lenora from Gigi's Scrapbooking in Foley Ala.  Well, that was just hilarious in itself!  Never a dull moment!
 Also, we were with Nicole Petersen and Nicole Petersen Designs!  Ya see, she has this husband who we gave a really hard time (Matt)......He sets up her booth and works it until she can get there from her day job....needless to say we gave him a very hard time!  He was a great sport and played along well!  Also her sweet daughter came with her Sydnee....she is a love!  Thanks Syd for all the diet coke runs!!!  

All in all, I think we rocked the hall way pretty dang good!  We sure turned lemons into lemonade!!!  But it is all about good friends and good times when it comes down to it!  We were Blessed with both!

Now whats next....well  Scrapfest is in just a few short days.....go check them out and maybe you can come join us!  We will be working non-stop the next few days to get more kits prepared!  We will be traveling with Shelly and the gang from Scrapbooks and More in Denham Springs!

After Scrapfest, we have Scrappin with the Chicks here in Baton Rouge (October 8-10), that is always fun...it is a 24 hr non stop-crop event!!  We usually get a good bit done at that one!

Then we have a few weeks off (not really off...just no travelling) before we head to Birch Run Michigan for the Great Scrapbook Events.  It is a HUGE HUGE HUGE event.......not to mention a LONG drive!  We will be travelling with Shelly and the gang from Scrapbooks and More (I think it may be video worthy....)!  That trip will wrap up our 2010 event travels!

On a sad note.......
One of my dearest friends will be closing her LSS today.....Scrapbook and CO in Baton Rouge will close today after 4 years.  Denise and her girls will be truly missed in our community!  We will all be leaving a piece of our heart with her in that store!  It was truly a home for all who hung out there.  With that being said....wherever you are...PLEASE SUPPORT your Local Scrapboook Store!  We have to give them our support or they will not make it!  They offer products and services that the chains can not give us!
So, goodbye Scrapbook and Co.  You will be missed!  And Denise, remember we love you and wish you the best in whatever you pursue!

Have a great weekend......
Melanie, Lisa and Beverly

We made it!

Lisa and I left Baton Rouge at about 10 this morning....we planned on stopping and sleeping, but she got some "extra energy" and we drove straight through to Disney!  So glad that we did !  We are checked in our beautiful room at the Disney Contemporary Resort, unpacked and about to get  some sleep!!!!!  We set up for SDV at 2 pm (so we may just get to sleep a LONG time!)!

We are so excited to get this show going and meet all the wonderful people coming  to SDV Orlando!  Hope to make lots of new friends!  We will post pics after we set up tomorrow!

Until then, we are gonna go  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Melanie and Lisa

Where to begin..........

We prayed about branching out to bigger/further conventions.   And did the floodgates open!

We have either.... not had enough sleep or lost our minds..but none the less...we are off to further& bigger venues!

Our first stop will next week in Orlando at Disney's Contemporary Resort for the SDV event!
We are so excited to go meet all the wonderful ladies there.  We will be travelling with Gina and Lenora from Gigi's Scrapbooking...it should be a trip to remember! We will also meet our sweet friend Nicole Petersen with Nicole Petersen Designs as well!

Now here is the biggie......the further/bigger event.....the one that shows we may have lost our minds....
We are going to BIRCH RUN, MICHIGAN!  To the Great Scrapbook Event.  It is only 1,164 miles (appx 18 hrs) away from home!  BUT all kidding aside, it is suppose to be HUGE!  It is the DEER HUNTERS first weekend in the woods and the wives come out to play!  They expect 1000-1500 women to shop/crop over the 3 day period!

Oh heaven, please don't let our cricuts burn up any time soon...they will be on full auto from here til January!

We will be traveling with Shelly, Anette and Alicia from Scrapbooks and  More in Denham Springs.  The NORTH has no idea what is about to hit them!  5 women, 1 suburban and a BIG u-haul!!  Again ...we will be meeting Nicole with Nicole Petersen Designs (are you seeing a pattern here).....heee heee

And did I mention we have many events in between all of this madness.....
August..... Landry's Crop benefit for MDA in Baton Rouge, LA
September....Scrapfest in Mandeville, LA
October....Scrappin with the Chicks, Baton Rouge, LA

Then it starts all over in January.  We are happy to announce we will be participating in Crop Connections In Pearl, MS.  Then Gigi's Scrapbookin Beach Retreat In Foley Alabama!

We have been so Blessed with growth, friends and wonderful customers over the past year!  It is amazing how we have grown!  Thanks to God for His many Blessings (and a good sense of humor)!

Our trash is your treasure... Deals and Steals... call it what you will... BUT DON'T MISS IT! I have teamed up with some GREAT scrapbookers, who like myself, may have a slight buying problem...or a "I can't use that same paper on two layouts" problem...or "I thought that would match my pictures, but now I see it is COMPLETELY the wrong color" embellishment issue....


The current count is nearing 15 tables of scrapping goodies - all at rock bottom (CHEAP) prices!

It's this Saturday, August 14 from 9am to 1pm in my office parking lot. 10761 Perkins Road (bw Bluebonnet and Seigen - closer to BB - across from Sonic). Bring cash - no high tech credit card machines here :)

And all sellers will be present - so let the wheeling and dealing begin....
 
 
So go show up and get you some GOODNESS at great prices!!!
