New scrapbook store opened up in my hometown....

As we all know, local scrapbook stores are very rare these days. Sad. It's even more important for them to keep up with the trends, have classes that are of the scrapbookers interest, have a supply of essentials on hand such as cardstock, adhesives etc. Along with all this is great customer service. I'm happy to say that my dear friends from Scrap for a Cure Kit Club opened a scrapbook store in my home town. Yeah!! It's called The Girlfriend's Garage because it's located at one of the owner's Patti's garage. They have it all decked out with scrapbook supplies and tables for crops. They had a Grand Opening event last weekend but unfortunately I couldn't go because I worked. If you're in town stop by and say hello. Tell them I sent you there. These gals will be at the Scrapbook Expo the weekend of March 19th in Pleasanton. So come on by and check them out! They're also teaching some classes there.

It comes with instructions so that if you needed help to put it together it's there for you. You can also have the creative freedom to tweak it however your creative hearts desire. I had so much fun creating this. Lots of goodies from Urban Lily, Making Memories noteworthy line and rub ons just to name a few. This is the first of many projects to come. Stay tuned to find out what project will be up next. Hope to see you scrappin'. I would love to see your creations in their gallery. So come on over and check out their kits before it's sold out!
