Grand Opening Day

Hello Everyone, and welcome to the re-vamp of the Scrapville Grand Opening Day.  It was my pleasure to hold an open day to announce Scrapville to everyone, and display the variety of scrapbooking, card making and papercraft products available in-store.  The open day also provided the opportunity for demonstrations of our products and tools by the Scrapville Creative Team girls.  I could not have wished for a better network of support from my very good friends, and my Creative Team Girls.  Their efforts were unquestionable, and I felt deeply touched by their eagerness to pitch in and help to get all the new stock out and onto the shelves so that you, our backbone, would benefit on the day.

Leading up to the Grand Opening saw several situations arise that proved challenging in meeting the planned criteria for the day.  I am somewhat relieved to say that we have now surpassed those challenges,and can now move forward.  I am confident that as we continue to grow, we will also continue to improve in our ability to offer the best service, support and creative opportunities to all those that venture into Scrapville.

For all those that entered through the doors of Scrapville on Saturday, a lucky door raffle ticket was given out.  From these random tickets were selected  for a little RAK from Scrapville.  I look forward to seeing the following lucky people in-store soon to collect your little gift.

     1. Di C E12
     2. Margie DD E25
     3. Judy L E17

And I have not forgotten those eager Blog Followers that have also supported Scrapville in the Cyber World of scrapping and creativity.  A random follower has also been drawn , and if Cassie would like to call in soon, I also have a little RAK for you!

Cong Rats!! to those lucky people receiving a gift, and thanks heaps for supporting Scrapville.

Thank you to ground crew support for supplying sustenance provisions for the girls, and fluffing around the shop looking interested.  The continuing dent in the chocolate stash was considerably stabilized upon your departures to the cinema..................... no really, thank you deeply dear family!

To Allana I would like to say a HUGE thank you for stepping in and cracking the retail whip amongst the girls!  Gave me time to fluff around, meet the people and dull the nerves.....  Your assistance was and is greatly appreciated, your work ethic impeccable!

And to the Creative Team girls, Sally and Melinda, a MEGA HUGE thank you for not stuffing up the demo's....... nah - I had faith!  You are both very dear to me, and your friendship and support is something I value enormously.  Your efforts in supporting both ME and SCRAPVILLE have been amazing, and I am feeling lots of warm and fuzzy things..........  Thank you both Girlfriend!!!!

To the Welcoming, Greeting and in-store assistance provided by Kaylene and Emily, I thank you both.  I am sure that the customers who walked through the door were met by your cheerful and welcoming faces, and at once felt relaxed and comfortable.

Well, last but not least I would like to thank all our creative friends out there that ventured into the shop for the Grand Opening Day, that have already been into the shop, and that I hope will one day 'make it' into the shop!  Thanks for your support, it's what we're all about!

Should anyone like to make further inquiries regarding the tools and equipment that were demonstrated, please call in and see me, or send me an email.  I am happy to arrange further demonstrations in-store for those interested.  For anyone interested in the tools or equipment demonstrated, I am placing new orders this week to replenish the stock sold.

Thanks for coming everyone.

cheers!
