It’s A New Year

January means a new year, new scrapbook ideas, new beginnings, and lots of new things at Scrapbooks By The Sea. Watch for a new look and lots of new products at stores in the next couple of months. We have been busy finding new companies and product lines that you will find only in our stores. We also have some of the top designers in the industry working with us so that we will be able to offer you that truly unique, “Best of the Beach", that you’ve come to expect from Scrapbooks By The Sea.

Retreats

Nearly 150 scrappers and vendors will be motoring to the beach in just a couple of weeks for the 4^th Annual Crazy Chocolate Crop Retreat. This is the biggest turnout yet for our signature event and we’re looking forward to all the fun and scrappin’ planned for that weekend.

With the early sell-out for the Chocolate Crop we added a very special date in February so no one will be left out for a winter time weekend at the beach. The Snowman Lovers Weekend is booking and we still have room in the Ice Castle for you! This very special weekend is just before Valentine’s Day and it’s the perfect time for you to bring hubby along too. And to make him feel like he’s having some fun, we have teamed up with Bass Pro Shops in Myrtle Beach for him and for you. Bass Pro Shops will have a booth and be demonstrating all that fun stuff he might be interested in and offering some great after Christmas deals too. And so you’ll know, Bass Pro Shops has a complete section for Women in the Outdoors too, just for YOU. The information is on the web site, www.scrapbooksbythesea.com under the “Retreats” tab. All the rooms are ocean front so go to the site and register NOW!

Classes

Please bring your adhesives,  glue dots, pop dots, scissors, trimmer, deckle scissors, scotch tape, chalks and eyelet tools to class. (We have a share basket for beginners and visitors to use) Surfside Beach classes are every Monday at 6:00PM and Pawleys Island classes are every Tuesday at 6:00PM. We’ll be doing some fun layouts this month and Vickie has designed a beautiful layout that she will be teaching mid-January. The material cost is $5.00 for each class.
