The NZ Scrapbook Family is growing!

Happy Tuesday!
A very warm welcome to our two newest NZ Scrapbook Family members who joined us in May.

This gorgeous lady is Pam Olds who is now running the Thursday Night Crop and kids birthday parties. Pam is a true people person and delighted to help with page ideas, suggestions or techniques - ideal for a crop teacher!

And our new Bookkeeper Charisse Baker who is doing a wonderful job keeping our Admin up to date. Talk about whizzy - the girl is FAST!

Both these ladies are keen scrapbookers and longtime customers. If you look back on some of our photos you will see both Pam and Charisse pop up from time to time in Product Preview Events, Classes and Kids Classes. Charisse was telling me just this week how she remembers coming into the store when my daughter was a baby (who is now 7years!).

We are THRILLED to have them both join our team. If you see Pam or Charisse in store be sure to say hi and give them a wee welcome too. It'd make their day!

Saturday Highlights!

Hi all,
Hope you had a great weekend! There is always something happening here at NZ Scrapbook and Saturday was no exception. Like a good scrapbooker I had my camera in my pinny pocket ready to shoot the action!

My daughter celebrated her 7th Birthday this week and since she loves to scrap we decided to have one of our Kids Birthday Parties for her ($19.50 per Child, minimum 6 kids to have a party - and we host, entertain, help create, feed and clean up!)

Playing a game of Pin the booger on Shrek...now there's a sentence I never thought I'd say on this blog!

Hannah adding the final touches to her page.

This is my son Oliver. A King's crown huh? I'm TOTALLY saving this pic for his 21st birthday. heheh

Straight into the Parent & Child Class. This week Mum takes the participants through a shaker photo technique and they stenciled texture paste on another layout.

Kayla you chose a perfect photo for the shaker technique!

Fenn has a great bunch for the Kids Class. We have some exciting changes planned for the Kids Classes. More info on that in a later post.

Kid's Class participants making the all important paper decisions.

The Language of Flowers Class spent the afternoon putting the final touches on their projects.

Stephanie on my beloved sewing machine. I'm not sure this well used tool has actually SEEN an item of clothing under its needle.

Meanwhile, downstairs was also a hive of activity... sometimes creativity is TANGIBLE!

After all this was an evening of Altered Book Club. I must have been pooped by this stage cos I have NO PHOTOS. But I DO have art!

Yay for another enjoyable Saturday! There is always something you can be involved in... we invite you to join in the fun!

Hope to see you in store soon :)
