Well, Every Last Scrap will be 6 months old in just a couple of weeks. We have met a ton of great new people, and it's definitely been educational. We are thankful for all of you who allow us to make the mistakes and learn the lessons of a new business owner! As most of you know, it's a family affair - me, Mom, and Brooke are the only "employees" - but as we've journeyed through, a few lovely ladies have joined our little scrapping family (you know who you are!)
The economy makes it challenging, and we are certainly working hard to stay in business. Please give us your feedback and ideas on ways we can encourage our scrapping community to shop with us, instead of the big box stores. Those darn 40% off coupons are hard to compete with! :-)
A few things we plan to do after the first of the year:
Introduce monthly contests - we know we have talented customers and we want you to have the chance to show off!
Friends & Family discounts - we'll be providing our customers with little coupon cards to give to those scrappy friends and family who have yet to visit us. When they come in for the first time and give us your name, you'll both get a discount!
Monthly Raffles - Details forthcoming, so watch our Facebook/Emails, but the plan is to assemble great gift baskets (worth at least $100) and you'll be able to buy tickets for just $2...no limit to the number of tickets you can buy!
So, keep us in your prayers, shop with us, and watch for updates!

Homecoming & Holidays
Well, Chickies, the Harden household has experienced its first homecoming dance. Brooke looked so pretty, but as a freshman, I think she felt a bit out of place. No worries, I got some GREAT pics of her in her dress, which I totally plan to scrapbook. It reminds me how quickly the school year passes, and now we are halfway through October!
The cool part, is we are coming up on holiday season...Brooke says, "I love the holidays, Mom!" I do too... so many photo ops, so many scrapbook layouts to make! We've had some really cute stuff arrive at the store. I can't decide what my favorite is, but I think October Afternoon's Witch Hazel is definitely one of the cutest... Can anyone see Samantha from Bewitched ???

Labor Day & New Crops!
Hey, Chickies!
So thankful for the day off today to celebrate work! What did you do this weekend? Did you go to the pool or lake? Did you have a cookout? Did you go to the movies? Hopefully you got to craft a little bit...I did get to make a card for my MIL. And, the family and I went to a friends 50th birthday party so we got to do the pool/cookout thing.
So how did Labor day begin? Check out this Wikipedia link for more information! (Coz I know you all want to know!)
I also want to announce we are adding a Friday Night Lights crop on the first Friday of the month, and a 10-10-10 Crop the last weekend of the month. We are excited to add these new crops to our schedule!! Make sure to watch our Google calendar: www.every-last-scrap.com/calendar.html
Well, I'm off to watch some TV and sleep in!
Have a great Labor Day!

Prima Papers and Grandma
Wow! My mom made this great layout of my grandmother with the Prima paper line "Romance Novel"! The colors in the picture matched the colors in the paper just perfectly. Add a few flowers, ribbon, and a butterfly punch, and the layout is just gorgeous.
This line only comes with 10 pieces of paper per design, so Prima definitely knows how to keep us wanting!
The crazy thing, is before I opened a store, I don't think I even knew Prima has papers! How crazy is that!

End of Summer
Well, Chickies, the end of summer is upon us. It's one of those bittersweet times of year... if you have kids, you'll be sad (and glad!) to send them back off to school so you have a little "me" time again. Or, maybe you are hitting a milestone with your child - first day of Kindergarden, first day of Middle School, first day of High School (like mine!), or even First day of College.
If you don't have kids, maybe you're a little sad because the endless days of summer will be over and the days at the pool, lake, or beach are ending. (Maybe not, though, it IS Texas after all!)
Anyway, I know that the last couple of weeks of summer are busy for a lot of us trying to get those last couple days of vacation, shopping for school...maybe you're like me, too, and at work you are moving into budgeting season (UGH!), so you have longer hours.
I know it's hard to find time to scrapbook, but admist all this busy time, please take a hour or two a week for yourself and create a little something pretty. Get your hands dirty, look at some pictures and reminisce a bit. Don't let the time slip away too quickly!
PS...
Pardon me a moment while I brag on my sweetie... she's heading into high school this year. If you've been to the store, then you've probably seen her working with her MeeMaw... Here's a pic of my baby in some new school clothes.

Hawk Rescuers
Thursday, August 2, 2012
Every Last Scrap to the Rescue!
Yesterday we had a hawk collapse in front of our store. We decided to help the hawk so every 30 minutes, we went out and checked on it a gave it water or made sure it had water. About 5 hours later, I guess it had cooled down enough because it flew off. We were very excited that he flew away! We hope he makes sure to drink plenty of water before going out in 103+ degree weather!

We are a Month Old!
Hi, Chickies!
Well, we've been open almost a month now. It has been such a fun time so far! We have someone new every day, and we are just loving it.
Our store is a family-owned, family-run business, so say hi to my mom (Penny) and daughter (Brooke) if you come in. Having a scrapbook store has always been a dream for me (Christine), and I am so excited for all of you to share it with me.
We held our first Hen Party on July 21 and had 18 lovely ladies join us. We are adding classes to our schedule a bit at a time, so definitely watch our calendar for those. So far we have a class for a cute wooden block, "boys will be boys"; a "No Rules Scrapbooking" class, Graphic 45 "ABC Primer back to school", and an Explosion box class.
I've got some gorgeous Christmas lines picked out, and hope to see some new product arriving in August. Can anyone say BoBunny and Websters pages? Oh, and Apple Cider from BoBunny has me drooling...I can't wait to get it in the store.
We are also starting a new contest for our customers August 1, called Scrap Genius! We know our customers are geniuses, so this is a chance for you to show it.
Future blog posts will include some tips and tricks. Have a great Friday!
