I want to thank all of you for your phone calls, emails, and visits during these last couple of weeks. Most of all, I thank you for your prayers.  As many of you are aware, Nick passed away suddenly and my world  fell apart. We were always together and he was my life.  The days are long, but the nights seem longer. Please pray extra hard for me as I continue and expand Scrapbooks By The Sea.

I am so grateful to Vickie, Jill, Mary Jo and Beth who have kept the store open while I am dealing with things. I am also so blessed to have “The Scrappy Girls” and “The Wacky Scrappers”. These girls are my rock and strength.

To all of you as I begin my adventures with the emails and website. If you receive something more than once, you’ll know that I got “finger happy”

Thank you again for your prayers and support.

Love Kim

Exciting News Coming Soon!!!

Are you a "Faithful Scrapper”? We will create beautiful layouts using the newest faith based and inspirational products that have never been available in this area. Not only will the layouts be will be enhanced by stories of ourselves, poems and quotes, but we will be creating a piece of ourselves to leave behind someday. It is important for all of us to tell our stories and those that we grew up hearing from other family members. This is something that, as many of you know, has been my desire to pursue since opening Scrapbooks By The Sea. The cost will be for materials, just as it is for classes at the store. This is not a Bible Study, but just a time for meaningful scrapbooking. Plans are also being made for a "Faithful Scrappers" weekend retreat that will involve special guests and will be a weekend that will live forever in our hearts and lives. 

 

I have to share with you that when we had lease negotiation problems and decided to close the Surfside store as we mentioned in last month’s Coastal Cropper, I was devastated because it was such a special place to me. I sat in the middle of the floor and cried. Then, I realized that it was just that, "a place" and that my mother always told me that things happen for a reason and that God does not close a door without opening another one. Now, that Nick passed away so suddenly, I see that God knew what was best, I will be posting all of the details about this new group in the next couple of weeks

 

CLASSES

Please bring your basic supplies with you to class. These include your trimmer, scissors, adhesives, eyelet tools and chalks. Classes are every Tuesday at 6:00 at the Pawleys Island Store. We invite everyone to join us. Vacationers are always welcome to join our great group of local Island Scrappers! You do not have to reserve your space and WE have never canceled a class in all of the years that we have been open!

July is Jumping with great classes this month. You will not want to miss a single one!

 

Retreats:

Many of you are already aware that we will be holding our events at a new resort location starting with our Fall Into Scrappin’ Retreat in October.  We will be opening the crop room doors at the Sands Ocean Dunes Resort for our 2007 – 2008 retreat  season.

We are very excited about the new location and the many opportunities that this brings to our weekends. You're gonna love it!  ALL of the information is now posted on the website for the next FOUR events!  A couple of these are almost full, so register now.

 

We can't wait to see many of our visitors as you all return this summer.  Scrapbooks by the Sea is the only scrapbook store that can offer you custom designed Kits and Kuts.  We can design specialty Kuts just for you!  We are the only store than you can find everything for your vacation scrappin' from North Myrtle Beach and its attractions to Charleston and EVERYTHING and everywhere in between!  Scrapbooks By The Sea is the oldest (not me, but the business) scrapbook store in the Myrtle Beach area, so we know what scrappers want to go along with everything that you need for your scrapbookin' at the beach.  We are just a short drive from Myrtle Beach and hubby and the kids can hang out at The Village Sport Shop right next door!  If they get tired, they can rest in the hammock out front!  Watch for our online store soon!  Be sure to stop by Scrapbooks By The Sea at The Village Shops in Pawleys Island next time you are down by the sea!

Happy Scrappin'
