Black Friday Ads are here!

Scrappy Chic has its own Black Friday flyer this year (so fun), which went out in today's newsletter. You can find it on the news & events link from our website, or click here! It's 2 pages, so you can print it back to back.

We'll have tons of sales throughout the store, but the flyer gives you a good idea of the types of deals there are to be had. There will be something on sale for everyone! We'll be working on setting up some tables on the sales floor to hold all the extra deals. I can't wait!

Who's Studio Calico?

Studio Calico is an online store specializing in monthly kits. They've recently put together a special line of goodies only available at retail stores! We're happy to have ordered this (thanks for the tips and requests, ladies). The new line, Homefront, will arrive on Thursday, so look for it this weekend on the shelf!

New Products this Week

We've had quite the deliveries this week! In addition to getting our stash ready for Black Friday, we received the following new shipments. The new Juliette line from SEI arrived, which is just beautiful! The papers are in soft colors, foils and florals. We also have a few new girly papers and stickers from Creative Imaginations. We just got a new selection of flowers and bling from Creative Charms. Plus, I'm excited to announce we have the new Jenni Bowlin lines - Baby of Mine, Calendar, and guess what? Jenni Bowlin partnered with Core'dinations to come up with an amazing line of their color core cardstock in her paper patterns! I'm so excited to see what is made with this. There's even a bookprint one (my favorite) you can scratch off to reveal a differenct color core underneath! Look for the new Jenni Bowlin products to be out on the shelf this weekend.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Today is our 3rd Anniversary! We are so thankful to a)have the amazing customers we do, b)have such a great team, and c)be in business! I'm very excited as we head into the Holiday season. We appreciate the loyalty we see every day, from customers, friends and family. We wouldn't be where we are without your support. Many thanks to you all!

On that note, I'd like to announce the winners of our Golden Ticket Giveaway! Kathy Johnson of Ypsilanti was our Grand Prize winner! She wins free scrapbooking for a year! We drew three Runner Up winners, who were Diane Lewis, Margaret Elliott and Florence Robert. Some of these ladies don't even know they won yet (we're a little secretive sometimes on answering machines). Congratulations to all of you!

Donna Downey's Visit

I've been feeling very under the weather this week (along with the rest of my family), so I'm not on top of things right now. Here are some pictures of Donna's visit over the weekend. For those who attended classes, I'm so glad to have been able to offer that opportunity! It was truly a crazy weekend between her classes, visitors as well as the Golden Ticket Giveaway. Next weekend we officially celebrate our Anniversary and then we head toward Black Friday. Next thing you know it'll be Christmas! Ok, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. Enjoy the photos!

Santa's Workshop Dies from QuicKutz

I don't think I blogged this yet, but last week QuicKutz released their Santa's Workshop Limited Edition Die Set and Accessories. We had our release party, but still have the sets available while supplies last. When I said not to let the name fool you, I wasn't kidding. This is the coolest set of mini book dies compatible with practically any manual die cutting system! The set contains three different mini book dies, a full alphabet as well as tons of other items like tags, bookplates, and more. Plus, there are tons of accessory dies you can use to add character to your mini books - decorative spines, scalloped pages and more. There is even a recipe set and a heritage set you can use with the mini albums or on other projects - very cool.

Boutique Night in Farmington

The Farmington Area Mom's Club (a group I belong to) is hosting a Boutique Night at the Maxfield Training Center in Farmington on Thursday, 12/3 from 6:30-8:30pm. It's an opportunity for those with home-based businesses to sell, for people to shop and relax (enjoy finger foods, hot chocolate, coffee, pop, etc.). The proceeds of the event will go toward the Club's annual holiday family adoption.

In addition, the FAMC is looking for a vendor who makes handmade greeting cards (for sale) to participate. The cost to rent a 5' table is $10 plus a $10 raffle prize donation. If you are interested, please contact Peggy at pwilke1@twmi.rr.com. I know there are many talented card-makers in our mix!

The Farmington Area Mom's Club is a non-profit organization supporting local moms. You can find more information about the group at www.FarmingtonAreaMomsClub.org. The Maxfield Training Center is located at 33000 Thomas St., Farmington, MI (a couple miles from the store).
