Are you discovering WHO you are?

We will have a DNA party at the NEW store on Oct. 23rd.

This should give everyone time to catch up.

Flip Flop Album Class

Have you been to the store to see this adorable mini-book created by Carol? It is made using real Flip Flops!

She has three spaces left in this class on Tuesday night at 5:30.

How cool is this??? Scrapbook University is going to be one of just 200 stores in the United States to carry the new Creative Cafe-- Like being a kid in a candy store, you will be able to pick out coordinating buttons, ribbons, tags, flowers, brads and more individually, as you need them! It will be just adorable in our (your) new store.

My Dream House...

Newsletter

Several people told me that they were unable to read the email I just sent out... I'll check on the reason tomorrow, but I thought I'd post it on the blog, so you all could read what I sent you!

Dear Customers,
There is so much happening at Scrapbook University! In case you haven't heard yet, we bought a house last week!! It will hold the greatest scrapbook retreat in West Texas, and your scrapbook store. We have been busy, busy, busy renovating and decorating to make it great for you.
You will notice a couple of things different about this month's calendar... First, because we haven't been able to get it to you until now, it includes the last two weeks of September and the first two weeks of October.
Also, beginning October 1st, our store hours will be changing.

First, we will now be open on Mondays! Also, you will now be able to Scrap 'til 10 on Tuesdays. We will be closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays, to prepare for our weekend events.
Please note that we will be closed for moving Oct. 10-13. Be sure to save Sunday, Oct. 14- You will not want to miss Open House at our (your) new Scrapbook Home!
Are you working on your Visual DNA??? If you don't know what that is, check out our blog http://www.scrapbookuniversity.blogspot.com/ for this month's challenge. It's not too late to catch up! So many of our customers are having lots of fun with this one!

Sept.-Oct. Classes & Events

NYOBC (Not Your Ordinary Book Club) 9/16 or 9/18

If you are looking for a way to "Get out of your box", then this is the group for you. Each month, we get a new idea book and a kit to go with it. You take them home, look through the book, and use the kit to complete a project from the book (or create your own!) The next month, we meet to discuss the book and show off our "homework". Come see why this is the most popular group at Scrapbook U! Membership to the club costs $60 for 6 months, plus the cost of the book. Next semester starts in January.

Flip-Flop Book 9/25

Taught by: Carol Cost: $15

Carol has done it again! She created an album using actual flip flops- and it makes the perfect Summer Memories album. We've had the sample at the store for about a week, and the class is already half-full. Make sure you call ASAP to save your spot!!

Scrap Pink 9/29

We have been wanting to do an event benefitting Breast Cancer Research for a long time. Scrapbook stores all across the US are doing this Scrap Pink event, and your scrapbook store is one of them! Join us from 10-10 for scrapping, food and FUN! $35 includes lunch, dinner, goodies and $10 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Center. Call to save your space for this special event!

Scrapbook University's Foreign Exchange Program 9/30
Taught by: Ami Cost: $12

A new club is starting at Scrapbook U. We will meet once a month to create a layout and project inspired by different countries. When we meet, each person in the class will bring a dish for that month's country. We will eat, learn some interesting facts about that month's country, and then do a layout and project. (Note: The layouts will not be about the country, just inspired by colors and/or designs.) This month's country will be..... France!

Are You Gettin' It? 10/9

Taught by: Becky Cost: $12

Remember Get the Picture? The club lives on! Becky will go beyond The Big Picture, with different topics every month, from wherever she finds inspiration. There will be new challenges at each class, and homework to work on using the new things we learn each month.

Pot Luck Crops

Join us on 9/28 and 10/5, for the last two crops at our "old" store. An era is coming to an end at Scrapbook University, and another exciting adventure is about to begin. Crops cost $5 for members, and $10 for non-members. Please bring a dish to share. We all eat dinner together, then Scrapbook 'til midnight!

Once we move to our new location, we will hold monthly crops and weekend events. If the house is not rented on any Friday night, we will still hold a crop on that Friday. We will let you know on the blog if the house is available to crop on a Friday other then the one scheduled on the calendar. It is going to be so great! We cannot wait to play with you at our (your) new house!

Something to think about...

People are like stained-glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

This month is a huge transition month for us. You will see some changes on the calendar (notice that our store hours change as of Oct. 1st).

But lots of things will remain the same-- we will still be your scrapbook store, your friends, and your place to come play!

Ok, How is everyone doing?

I have not been getting a lot of pictures from people but everyone says they are doing their journals.

Remember you can jump in at anytime and do as many as you like or skip any that you just don't "feel". Let me know how it is going.

Just something that touched me today.

Shannon's Drink

Starbucks Chai Tea Latte... Mmmmm, why are you so good to me?

Shannon's Freedom

A lazy summer afternoon at the lake, with no agenda, no deadlines, no responsibilities. Just youth lounging around, with the majority of their lives stretched out before them, soaking up the freedom... freedom to choose, freedom to play, freedom to try, freedom to be.

Shannon's Love

When Jackson gets in trouble, he runs to Jacob for love and support. Jacob always cuddles him, just like he's doing in this picture and then looks at me and says "Mom, he's just little." While it can be frustrating, it's absolutely the most endearing thing he does and I am so proud of my older son and the protector that he is to his brother. *This* is what love looks like.

Jody's love and freedom

DNA Group Project

Are you excited? I AM.


Hopefully you were able to figure out the computer part of this project, if not, DON'T worry! I have 16 confirmed on the computer BUT you can still play even if you did not do the online part.

Part 2 of Group Project:

Everyday I will post a question or word and you are to try and find a picture that best answers or represents that word for you. It can be a photograph you have taken, something you found online, a magazine, a drawing, ANYTHING. The main goal is to describe yourself, life, and world, VISUALLY.



After you have adhered your "picture" into your journal you can, IF you want, journal why you choose the picture.



This project is meant to be VERY simple. More of an artful journey into yourself and your life. I hope that by dong this project it will inspire you in your creative endeavors. And how cool it will be to have a VISUAL DNA of who you are!



Most of all, I want us to have fun.
So get our your composition book. Put on your favorite music (I am in LOVE with Colbie Caillat right now. Makes me want to be creative. Visit http://www.colbiecaillatmusic.com/ to give a listen. Thanks to Johanna for giving me this gift!)

and speak through pictures. I will be posting my 1st page later tonight. I just want ya'll to know that I really do love these projects and have so much fun with you guys! What a great group of friends I have!

Kisses!
