WOW, What A long Time Coming :)

Hi Everyone,

I have missed you all soooooo very much.  Lots going on, but today I want to tell you all THANK YOU for coming to Scrap-A-Ganza 2008.  1,500 of you showed up for a good time and after speaking with many of you, I think a good time was had by all.  Thank You to all of our wonderful, creative, enabling vendors.  Even I found time to shop during the show :)

One of the BIG things we have been working on is the new and improved website.  You wanted something more user friendly and we feel like we have given it to you.  No more Paypal.  Lots of you mentioned that you wanted an easier way to purchase tickets.  Now you will be able to go straight to the website for crop and class tickets. 

Speaking of The Crop, what for information coming soon.  Tickets for the crop will go on sale in November.  The crop will be a two day affair and you will get 24 hours of croppin time :)  Your crop bags will be LOADED with cool items (I CAN NOT TELL).  Watch the site for details.

I am working on classes as we speak. 

Love, Love, LOVE to hear your comments.  Send them to jazzhands@scrap-a-ganza-expo.com

send photos of the event if you have them.....they might make it onto the BLOG.....

Hugs, Timi

Hotel Reservations

Just a tip on the reservations.....the room blocks have expired for at least one of the hotels....so, you CAN still get the SAG rate but you have to call the # and connect to the front desk....the front desk said they are authorized to give the discount, but you have to ask.....this is for Courtyard by Marriott.....but it will probably work at any of the three....have a great Sunday.....Hugs, Timi

Lisa Jane of Eden Studio

sorry about the double post tonight (scroll down for the first)....i meant to mention in the earlier post about one class we are offering at SAG.....it is being taught by Lisa Jane of Eden Studio here in Houston Texas.....she is AMAZING and she is a scrapbooker as well!!!!  She mixes digital photography with traditional scrapbooking with FABULOUS results!!!  SEE BELOW :)

This class is only $12 DOLLARS !!!!  Such a small fee for all that expertise.....buy a ticket for her class today.....Hugs, Timi

Come have a great time and bring all of your friends too :)

so sorry I have not posted in ages.....we have been soooo busy getting things ready for SAG.....It is going to be so much fun.....we are getting more and more door prizes in everyday....i will count them at the end of the week and give you a run down on how many we have.....we still have class tickets available so buy them before they are gone.....one class is sold out and several others are close to being sell outs....

one of the things we are planning for July, after SAG is a trip to Chicago for Summer CHA.....we really want to try to get more big name sponsors for our event.....word about our show is spreading but they all say, "come see us in July (CHA) and let us know what your numbers are".  Bottom line is this, we need high admission numbers.  They want to know that if they come or if they sponsor, there will be lots of scrappers here to see and try their products......the number we are hearing alot is 3,000.   SOOOO, please come and bring all of your crafting friends so we can BLOW THEM AWAY with our numbers!!!  How can they say no then, right?  Hugs, Timi
