Scrapbooking in Paradise, Inc.

Treasure hunting time

The Second Annual Tampa Bay Scrapbook Treasure Hunt is right around the corner.

  MARK YOUR CALENDARS- Friday March 7- Sunday March 16

  Win over $1000.00 in prizes/Scrapbooking dollars.

 

This is how it works.

1) Call us or your fav local Scrapbook store and pre-sign up for a tote bag.  The cost is only $6.00.

2) When you pick up your tote bag, it will be loaded with some cool freebies, a 6X6 Scrapbook album, and a "passport".

3) Visit all the participating scrapbook stores on your list and spend only $5.00 or more at each one, and earn yourself a stamp on the passport.  You will also get a tag to hang on your beads. (Yup, we are giving ya beads).  And a goody bag with some cool freebies.

4) At each store, sit down and enjoy a free make N take for your album.

5) After visiting all stores and having your passport stamped, turn it back in at the store you bought your tote at for a chance to win some big prizes.  You will also have your 6X6 album to keep, and hopefully some fully loaded beads around your neck.

Each store will have Make N Takes for your album. We added more moola to the kitty too.  Check it out.  First place prize is over $1000.00 in Scrapbooking money.

Nope, that is not a typo.  There will be 2nd and 3rd place winners for some Scrapbooking moola too.  And a winner will be drawn at each store from the completed passports you turned in.   

All the stores will be open at least from;

Friday March 7 and 14  --  10AM - 8PM

Saturday March 8 and 15  --  10AM - 6PM

Sunday March 9 and 16  --  Noon - 5PM

Monday - Thursday March 10-13  --  10AM - 6PM

You will be able to pick up your preordered tote or just buy one (while supplies last) as early as February 29 (leap day).

We are taking preorders for tote bags now.  The cost is only $6.00.  You can call us at 727-302-9100 or email us at john@scrapbookinginparadise.com to be placed on the list and let us know how many you want.  You can pay later.  You do not have to preorder the totes, but there is only a limited amount available.  So if we run out, then you will be given an "emergency" passport so you can still participate.  But, you will not have the tote or goodies etc. inside.  So we encourage you to pre sign up.  We know last year some people were left out.  We do not want that to happen again, so please sign up so we can be sure you get a tote. 

Start calling your friends and get ready for some treasure hunting time.  This year is going to be one heck of a good time.

Paradise Calls,

John

Boy was it a "Crazy Day"

Hello, scrap-a-licious pals!  I just wanted to say "thank you," for coming out to John's Crazy Day sale.  We apologize that the check-out lines were long, but we were happy to see ladies forging new friendships as they waited.  John worked very hard putting this sale together for you.  He worked a lot of VERY late hours last week planning this sale, and even when he tried to get to sleep he tossed and turned with more thoughts about pleasing our customers(I should know, I lost sleep just lying next to him!). I know he feels very gratified that you all enjoyed it.  Your smiles and nice comments have definitely made his efforts worthwhile, and he really appreciates them.

And now, TRUE craziness begins... it is cleanup time!  :)

See you soon!

Laura

Welcome to 2008. It's gonna be a good year.

Happy new year everyone and welcome to 2008.  Well, let me start by telling you how cold it was last night.  Oh, you already know?  But was it cold inside your home like it was in mine.  Why you ask?  Because my heater stopped working and decided to growl at me in a language I have never heard before.  Well it was pushing midnight but I decided to take the thing apart and see if I could fix it.  Can't have my little one geting all cold.  I must have done something right, because it is working.  Not bad for close to midnight, but let's see what happens tonight.

Anyway, we have got some good things happening in Paradise.  You are not even gonna believe me....  You are going to be amazed....  You will jump up and down with joy.... You are not even gonna believe me... Wait, I already said that....
