January 2014 Newsletter

Hello everyone, and welcome to 2014!  May this year bring all that you hope for, health and happiness.  With 2013 now behind us may we all look forward to a wealth of good times ahead, with something positive to focus on and aim for.

Scrapville looks forward to offering so many new bits and pieces this year, from our New Classes, Instructors, Creative Teams and an Uber Exciting Retreat!

Personally speaking, the Old Fart has happily settled into his new abode, and the family is much more comfortable with the set up.  His new pad is adorned with photos of the Little Fart, and some of the family!  The Little Fart, recently acquired from the Old Fart, is finding her niche by adamantly protecting Me and the house from the Blokey Man that lives there!!  Attempts to round up the cat have been met with a stern "I don't think so..." stand off, and one can only hope the Little Fart keeps to a speedy gait ahead of the Big Fella whilst he lifts his towering leg at every available opportunity.  As I said, lots happening!

So now the online shop....., it's still coming!  It is such a competitive area, and not to venture out into this direction would be a huge disadvantage to Scrapville's future growth.  So, please bear with us, it's all positive even though we have had set backs...

There is going to be lots going on this year, and I look forward to all that is New and Exciting.  I will be updating each little tidbit as we go along, so please ensure you are signed up for our Newsletters.  Be part of the excitement, and keep inspired.

NEW SCRAPBURST CHALLENGES

Run out of time to do the ScrapBursts?  Over all the Festive Fuss?  Well, this is what we've got - another ScrapBurst challenge.  I know everyone finds the Silly Season a little daunting, and with all the added running around we don't quite get around to tackling all those scrappy things we'd much rather be doing.  Hence, a very poor result for our famous ScrapBursts.  Well, clear the Table, it's time to greet 2014 creatively with a bit of scrapping and cardmaking because we're going to have another crack at it!  I have changed up the challenges for you, all you have to do is follow the criteria for each of the ScrapBursts or Card Bursts and complete your projects.

Come on everyone, put your Mojo into Go, I know you're all itching to get into it!  The ScrapBursts are one of the Challenges I love most here at Scrapville, and seeing what everyone comes up with is exciting and leaves me in anticipation of each entry.  Let's get on-board and grab some prizes as well.  As long as your Layouts and Cards meet the following categories, they will be accepted into each challenge:

LAYOUTS
#1 NUMBERS - THEME OF YOUR CHOICE
     1 x Photo
     2 x Types Of Distressing
     3 x Word Title

DECEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hi everyone, and welcome to the December Newsletter, our last for 2013.  Where has this year gone?  It's been such a busy year for me personally, and it baffles me to think where the time has gone!  It's something you tend to lose track of quite a bit running your own business.  I hope that in 2014 we all find more time to do the things we love doing.  

Well Silly Season has set in, and I wonder if everyone is frantically organizing themselves through all the chaos?  I'm sure there's still a few of you out there like me who need to finish sorting Christmas Cards, Decorations and their shopping lists!  There's a reason it's called the Silly Season!...

My family commitments still require me to be away from the shop on Mondays, so I will continue to remain closed for the time being.  All in all the road is definitely smoother at this time, but not less travelled, and not alone!  The little Fart still makes the trips and is Uber Excited to see her dad (Old Fart), so for me that makes it all worth while.  Thanks for your patience everyone, and understanding the changes I've had to make.

CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR TRADING HOURS
We will not be closed over the entire holidays this year, just the Public Holidays.  Below are the dates and times that Scrapville will be trading, so don't forget to jot them down.

Your photos and layout must have a Rural Theme, so something indicating farming life, the land, it's people, natures effects on the Rural environment and so on.
Your Layout must include the following items as indicated in each challenge:

2014

We will have plenty to share in 2014, with a few changes to the Scrapville agenda.  I hope you will stay tuned to catch the updates, and be a part of our 2014.

FINALLY....
I would like to pass on my gratitude to those who have supported Scrapville this last year, through many avenues. and in many ways.  Your friendships, loyalty, attendances for our crops, classes, scrap days and nights enables me to keep the doors open, and keep you creating, stocked up, tech'd up and happy!

So, I would like to thank all my customers for their support, chats, fly-bys and visits.  The reality is that many of my scrapbooking retail sisters have already closed their doors because they did not have the support to keep them open.  This effects us all and we rely greatly on the support you give us when you come through the door to touch and feel, re-stock, shop,crop, create, gather and share, so thank you all sincerely for being there.

To my Class Instructors, a huge thank you.   Not only do you offer the girls a wonderful variety of classes, but also the learning platforms that enable each person to achieve individual thresholds. Throughout the year Scrapville's Instructors have all been pleasant and supportive, with skills that enable the girls to create comfortably.  Thanks to Sam, Angie, Zan and most of all Heidi, who has been such a great instructor and support to me throughout the year.

To my Creative Teams, you have all been awesome!  Whilst we have put the brakes on the CT for the time being, we have had such wonderful girls on the Creative Team.  I want to thank you all for the time and effort you have taken to create your wonderful projects and support Scrapville.  A big thank you also to Anita, who has been super-wonderful for creating our extra special Monthly Sketches.  I'm looking forward to sharing more in 2014.

To the behind-the-scenes girls, you know who you are!  Thank you heaps for the extra little bits and pieces you do for me "all over the shop!"  It has helped enormously in almost keeping me sane............almost!

To my family, thanks for being there, here and everywhere when I've needed you to!  Thanks in advance for next year too when you'll do it all again!...... 

Have a great Christmas and New Years break everyone, however you choose to spend it, and stay safe over the holiday period. To the rest who don't enjoy this time of year, Bah Humbug and cheers, chin chin and grin!

November Newsletter

Hi everyone, and welcome to the start of some warmer weather.  There's sure to be plenty of photo opportunities with everyone spending a little more time outdoors.  November is the start of silly season activities as things heat up for the Christmas run.  Time is certainly fleeting!  And on that note, we'll move it all along.

As a quick heads up I'd just like to say that my family commitments still required me to be away from the shop on Mondays, so I will continue to remain closed for the time being.
The Old Fart (Poppy) is now in a lovely new hostel a bit further away, and settling in very well.  His Little Fart (Pitty) is enjoying the road trips when we visit, and the French Connection (Croissant the Cat) is getting to know her a bit more, although the odd tail grabbing has been noticed!  All in all the road is smoother, but not less travelled!
So if you miss me on a Monday, I am still open Tuesday through Friday, and 10am to 2pm Saturdays.

CHALLENGES
Congratulations to the winner of the October Sketch Challenge, Dawn Collins. We had some wonderful layouts, and the sketch was such a versatile design that allows the girls to use it often.

SKETCH CHALLENGES
Anita has given the girls a few more elements to play with on this month's sketch, so be sure to have a go.  Our November Sketch Challenges are due in Pumpkin Time November 30th.

SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hi everyone, things have been very busy over the last couple of months, so I wanted to fill you all in on Watt's What at Scrapville! As you can see from recent posts it's been a while since we've had a decent update, so this Newsletter is very timely indeed. I have had some unexpected family commitments that required me to be away from the shop quite a bit recently, and therefore things have become somewhat sidetracked. I expect things to settle down over the coming weeks, so we'll soon be getting back to the usual day to day. Apologies for any inconvenience my absence has caused.

With the past couple of months being so full on, we've also had plenty going on behind the scenes as well. Trade shows, Scrap Days, Seniors Classes, Cards & Scrapping, Online Shop, Creative Team terms completed, Cards, Bunged up Staff, Bunged up Family, Challenges and more. I have also closed the shop on Mondays due to family commitments. I will re-assess the decision to close should circumstances change, but regardless keep an eye on the sidebar of the blog for further updates. I'm sure we'll be back to speed shortly, but please bear with us whilst we tackle the "catch up" stage.

SCRAPBOOKING & CARDMAKING DAY AT WAGGA WAGGA
At the end of June we took the shop off to Wagga Wagga for a Scrapbooking & Cardmaking day with the girls. It was a wonderful day, we had plenty of room to spread out, and we met some lovely ladies who were keen to get creative, and do a class or two. It is our intention to continue these days, so if you would be interested in attending please email or call the shop with your contact details so that we can let you know when the next one is on. Minimum numbers are required before any events will run.
(scrapville@iinet.net.au OR 0260 567258)

CRAFTALIVE
Scrapville attended the recent Trade Shows at Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. It was wonderful meeting you there, and having the opportunity to meet so many more new faces. The girls had a great time chatting to everyone, and we hope to see you all again in-store or at future shows.

Scrapville enjoyed the experience, and was able to reach out to those who were looking to experience a touch and feel scrapbooking and cardmaking shop-front store.  Should you have any feedback regarding the CraftAlive shows, please be sure to let the lovely girls know your views by contacting them here: info@craftalive.com.au OR (03) 9682 5133

CHALLENGES
Congratulations to the belated winner of the last Sketch Challenge, Zan Boyle. We had some wonderful layouts, and they were all put together so differently that choosing just one winner didn't come easy. Challenge winners can contact Scrapville for their prize.

SKETCH CHALLENGES
Anita has been designing our Sketches for some time now, and doing such a wonderful job. With the expiry of her term as Creative Team member, Anita has agreed to continue designing the sketches for Scrapville. We are stoked to have her on board to continue inspiring you all with her talented ideas. Her sketches have always met with current and new trends, which we hope will continue encouraging you to take part and expand your creativity.

SENIORS CELEBRATIONS - OCTOBER
Scrapville is joining in with the community this October to celebrate our Seniors. We are offering a Scrapbooking or Cardmaking Class to our older generation so that they can sample what it is to be creatively active. Each week we will be offering a different scrapbooking page or card class, which includes your kit. You'll be able to create and complete your project under the instruction of our class teacher. Any class products purchased afterwards will attract a 12% discount.
Bookings are essential, and you must be a Seniors Card Holder.

WANDERVILLE
BOOKINGS NOW ESSENTIAL
WEDNESDAYS 1pm to 4.30pm
Come along and join us for an afternoon of scrapping or cardmaking.  Work on your Christmas Cards or finish off those layouts you've been putting aside!  We're happy to assist, and there's plenty to choose from in the shop.  Everyone is welcome.

ONLINE SHOP

Scrapville has been working hard behind the scenes to get our online shop up and running to compliment the shop-front, and support the kits and products that we create and provide. Time is of the essence, and we are working on it in the background. Our goal for completion is to be ready by October, so be sure to keep an eye out. You will soon be able to order your kits and products from home, especially if you can't get into the shop, or alternately order online and pick up your paid and packed goodies when you're in next!

FLOWER TECH CLASSES
If you haven't seen the samples from our Flower Tech classes, be sure to ask next time you're in the shop. These technique classes are spread out over 5 weeks, where you will make 4 flowers and 4 cards in each class. These classes cover different techniques and products each week, requiring a hands on approach for each style. Our classes will re-commence in September, and will be running every second week on a Saturday.
Bookings are essential, and a requirements list will be provided once payment is received.

We will also be running full day Flower Tech Classes in Wagga, where we will cover a couple of classes each time to make the day cost effective for everyone (conditions apply).
