A Pirate's Life for Me! Day 1: aug 8, 2008

Months before this day arrived, I had recieved my socal shop hop passport, sponsored by Scrapbooking Roads. (You can find the list of all the stores participating on their website.) I'm only posting the stores I've attended and how I view them as a customer. Carmen joined me on my scrapbooking adventure (and thank goodness, since she was better at directions than the mapquest I downloaded.)


Our fisrt stop was at my new home store, (long story)Scraparazzi (located at 6738 Bright Ave, Whittier, CA 90601 (562) 907-0083). This store welcomed us with such excitement, it made a perfect begining to our road trip! I like the way they have kits made of paper and stickers that match perfectly with themes. This makes it easy to work on a project and have everything you need already together.


Next, we headed down to Strickly Scrapbooking The staff member stamped my passport for their store and for the other stores that are no longer participating. So that was nice of her.

Then, we "sailed" further east to Scrappin' in the Hills, where Carmen discovered a hidden treasure map! We we returned it in for our prize which was a cute summer seashell card make'n'take. We've took classes at this store about four years ago and they still had my information on their system! Comparing the price of several stamps, and other products, this store was least expensive and they also had great sales!

We continued our voyage north Imperial Hwy to The Scrappin' Table. The stores were just minutes from each other with very friendly staff! The host gave us cupcakes with the cutest skeleton ever and they had a huge scrap station area! This store just opened in December '07 and they have a lot of new products and ideas to share.
