Well, I believe everyone had an absolutely fantastic time on Saturday at our Crop and Cruise from the comments I have heard! The original idea of this Crop and Cruise was a way to say thank you to Leica for all of her continued support and help. The store was actually the one that was suppose to do all of the work, but she took one look at my amazingly busy schedule and Wow - next thing we knew she had done an incredible amount of planning and getting ready. She happily put on one of the best Crops Saskatoon has ever seen! Way to go Leica and a definite THANK YOU for all of your continued help!

p.s. Check back as we unveil some fantastic happenings in the next couple of days!

Just a reminder that Club Night is Friday Night and we still have a few spots open. Club Night is a fantastic time to come and get caught up on your scrapbooking. Stuck on a page, need help picking colors? The girls working behind the till love to help make a page come alive if you wish to have help!
