Yes I know it’s been way too long between posts, so here I am with an extra long one to make up for lost time. With all the ordering, classes, crops and retreat planning, we have been run off our feet. School holidays have arrived yet again and our children’s classes are all fully booked. And Christmas is around the corner and will be here before you know it!

Congratulations, you may pick up your gift voucher in store – thank you to all the lovely talented ladies who entered.

DAY SCRAPPING

CLASSES & CROPS
As some of you may be aware our classes and crops are now frequently fully booked. Unfortunately, we seem to have an increasing problem of customers booking into classes and crops and not attending. This is extremely frustrating for both myself and customers who miss out, because if we are not notified of your inability to attend, we are unable to give your spot to a customer on the waiting list. For classes in particular, stock is pre-cut for the booked number of customers and then is wasted in the case of non- attendance. For these reasons, we must insist that a $10 deposit is paid for all classes. This deposit will only be transferred to another class if at least 48 hours notice is given of inability to attend - no exceptions. If there continues to be a problem with crop night bookings/attendance then we will need to try prepaying crop night fees to secure bookings.
On a brighter note, please find October classes below.

Hope to see you in-store soon!
Happy Scrapping!
Tracey and the team.
