CHA Weekend Saturday & Sunday, 2/9-10
Okay… It is a woman’s (or women’s) prerogative to change her mind…. We have decided NOT to go to CHA (the scrapbook trade show) this year, and to go to another upcoming show instead. And what does this mean to you? Not ONLY are we able to place orders first with pre-show ordering, BUT, we will bring CHA to YOU! With 5 years of trade show experience, we thought that we would take a break from this one, and have some fun with it (and you) instead. We will be showing you lots of different new lines on Saturday, and then you can go “shopping” with us at the show (online) on Sunday! AND those of you that come to play with us get to vote on what we buy! This mini-retreat will be Saturday through Sunday. The cost is $75 for both days of cropping, Sat. lunch & dinner, Sun. brunch, and of course, lots of yummy snacks! PLUS, if you come to the Friday’s Midnight Madness (cost $10), you can stay Friday night for FREE!
Valentine’s Explosion Box Tuesday, 2/12
Taught by: Carol Cost: $15
Here is your chance to learn how to make this “scrapbook in a box”. A perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, if you can give it up!
NYOBC (Not Your Ordinary Book Club) Sunday, 2/17 or Tuesday, 2/19
This Club is perfect for those of you who are looking to “get out of your scrapbooking box”. Each month, we get a book about a different technique or scrapbook idea. Take the book home and work through it, then bring your “homework” to the next meeting to show it off! Cost is $60 for 6 months, plus the cost of the book. It is not too late to join this semester! Call today to sign up, so we can get you this month’s kit!
Biggest Loser Weekend Sat. 2/23-Sun. 2/24
There’s not enough space for all of us to come to come to this one, but for those of you who do, you will be treated to speakers, special exercises, delicious (healthy) meals, and of course, Scrapbooking! There will also be a massage therapist available for an extra fee. This weekend is open only to SbU Biggest Loser participants. Cost: $75. This mini-retreat will be Saturday through Noon on Sunday.

What Does Your Favorite Color Say About You?

Red – If red is your favorite color, you are an energetic, passionate and excited person. While impulsive at times, your overall desire is to live life to its fullest. This means you are also competitive, strong, and seek justice for all.

Pink – There is a reason pink is often the color thought of when Baby Girls are mentioned. Sweet, nice, and delicate are often the first words that come to mind when pink is mentioned. You have a romantic side though too and think that love is the world’s greatest gift. More often than not you are they image of happiness and tranquility.

Orange – Did you choose orange as your favorite color? This means you have a high level of energy and tend to become restless when you’re not out saving the world. You get a long well with others as you are very social and hate to be alone. Not only are you a self starter, but you motivate those around you with your intense energy.

Yellow– If you’ve chosen yellow as your favorite color, you are an excellentcommunicator and you breathe warmth into everything you do. You are the life of the party and very imaginative. People swarm to you because you are always cheerful and bright.

Green– Green is a color of health and balance. One of your grand goals is to discover life’s hidden secrets. You’re also a very affectionate and loyal friend who tends to be very frank when asked your opinion. Your reputation is very important to you, so you are always conscious of any decisions you make. By this merit, you also finish what ever you start.

Blue– Of all the colors, blue represents the most creative and artistic of all colors. You excel at anything artistic and musical. These things also stimulate your mind. Above the artistic desires, you crave harmony in all aspects of your life. You have proven yourself as a sensitive and capable person and these traits make you an outstanding friend. You are very cautious in life and are conscientious of your work.

Purple– As a visionary, your life essence is one of spiritual consciousness andawareness. You find it natural to express yourself aesthetically and artistically.

The Deal or No Deal Fun continues~

Judy's name was chosen to be the second contestant... One of the first folders she chose was the $40 Gift Certificate. Oh NO!
Then things started looking up... This one was the $1.00 folder
Yay! No photo turns! In the end, Judy accepted the "Dealer's" offer. $35 Gift certificate AND a 12 pack of Diet Coke! She was so glad she did--- Her folder had $1 in it!

Thank you all for coming and playing with me.
Thank you Alice, for calling "the Dealer" at the exact right moment!
Thank you to "Scrappy Claus", who made an anonymous gift to one of our new scrappers. It meant a lot to her- she almost cried.
You were all so much fun!
Make sure you watch our calendar- I have lots more ideas for fun crops coming up in the next few months!

Mini Deal Games

In between our two rounds, we had some mini Deal Games... Names drawn got to chose between two folders with prizes in them. Becky played model next... Judy was the winner of a $5 gift certificate!
Selena won a free crop! (She used Becky's 8 Ball to help her decide which folder to chose.)
Megan won a $10 Gift Certificate!

No one picked the "smaller" prize! There are no losers at Scrapbook University...

except for "Big Losers", of course!

Deal or No Deal Crop

Our Deal or No Deal Crop was SO much FUN! Becky's name was drawn to be the first contestant (as was prophecied by her "8 Ball"). Judy was our model, opening each of the folders that Becky chose... So sad... Becky chose the folder that had the big prize... No $50 gift certificate...

But then, she chose the folder with $2.00 inside... There is hope yet!
Becky literally could not stand up when she was trying to decide what to do... The last two choices were between a $40 gift certificate, and 5 felt flowers! Oh, the PRESSURE!
She made the right choice... $40 of Scrapbook U Bucks! Congrats Becky!

GREAT, GREAT idea!

Was surfing tonight and came across this GREAT idea for mini-albums (which you know is my true love).

So going to do this.

Although I have an old metal fence gate that I am going to hang on the wall and then attach them to that.

FUN

Description: This is how I keep al the mini albums I make. Its the target wire cubes, zip tied together to make a 6 square panel and hung to the wall. Then I use clothes pins to attach the albums. (It looks cuter in person! lol)
