What A BLAST...

Stephanie, Danielle & Roblee

Sassy Scrapper had a wonderful 4 day retreat at the Comfort Suites in Lebanon. If you missed it and want to join us for the next one, you better sign up early as spots are already going. Almost all of the girls at this retreat are already making plans for the next one in January. We had girls join us from Illinois to Missouri and in between. I think I can honestly say everyone had a great time. Shown is a scrapbook page done by one of our newest "sassy girls", Danielle, who travelled all the way from St. Louis.

Happy Labor Day

As we are packing for our "end of summer" retreat, I was thinking of so many of you who are unable to join us for this great weekend getaway. So not to make you feel totally left out . . . we decided to have a Labor Day Sale on Monday!!

Come to either store on Monday, September 6 and you will get a 15% discount on your purchases. As always, this does not include classes or items already on sale, but everything else is on sale :) So if you have to stay home this weekend, don't be too sad . . . you are still special to all of us at Sassy :)

Also, I just got back from my second trip to Chattanooga purchasing displays from the Crop Shop to add to our Medical location. We appreciate you all being so patient with us as we grow, but now get ready for some great new additional product at Medical!!

Unfortunately, now that we have it all in one place we may have been a bit too excited about what we were buying :) Anyone looking for some 12x12 paper racks?? We just may have a few to sell. They are the short ones, fit under the slatwall, hold approx. 30 different papers. Price would be $50 ( that's almost 1/2 of retail ) Let me know if you might be interested :)

Latest News

Don't forget we still have a great line-up of classes to finish off the month of August. Brenda will be doing a "Denim" two page layout on Tuesday that is absolutely adorable . . . still room to sign up for that one!!

If you are participating in LOTM it is re-scheduled for September 11. Since we are on retreat Labor Day Weekend, we have changed the date to the following week. SPEAKING OF RETREAT!!! I still have THREE (3) spaces left. And I have an odd number so you can even sneak in with another person and save a few $$$. If you have never been on retreat w/Sassy before . . . it is time!! Give us a call and grab those last three spots ASAP!!!

NEW CLASS beginning in September will be an ATC card workshop. It will be a monthly project so you will have to make a three month commitment to complete. But you will learn all about ATC's, be introduced to several new techniques, share your progress with other class members and complete a beautiful book at the end!! This will be a small group endeavor, limited to only six persons . . . and it will be over before the holidays!! GREAT opportunity, ladies . . . call you peeps and get your name on the list :)

Saturday "chocolate" crop still has a couple empty chairs :( Come on, you know you want to come . . . IT'S CHOCOLATE!!! Call Medical 898-0050 and grab one of those chairs :)

And last, but certainly not least is Amy's "Petal Pusher" Book Class on Sunday afternoon. Absolutely beautiful chipboard book using Bo Bunny Petal Pusher line of papers and embellishments with added acrylic pages, jewels and flowers. Book is chock full of beautiful techniques. Come take this one of a kind class and while you are there on Sunday receive 30% . . . yes 30% off anything in the entire Bo Bunny line!! Class is at Medical girls . . . hurry and give us a call ASAP!!

Hope you are all getting into the "swing" of fall schedule. Remember we are here if you need help with those special student boards :) We love being your local scrapbook store, girls . . . your memories are certainly our priority!! Have a wonderful weekend!! Smiles from all the Sassy Girls :)

What a Weekend!

This was an exciting weekend at Sassy. we started off the weekend with a Stampers' Crop on Friday Night where the ladies were faced with a challenge. the challenge was to be creative on the spot. That's right they were given a challenge to created a card using only the items in their bag and there were able to add something from their stash but they had to use the items in their bag. We have a lot of creative ladies and you should stop by the Memorial Store to see what the ladies created.
On Saturday at the Medical Center store we had our very own "Tim Holtz" gal, Amy Smith, who came up with an very unique 12 x 12 layout, card and tag. The ladies seem to have a great time working on the layouts, and they had a good time learning new techniques. My favorite was the technique called Dabber Resist. You use the Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber, Snow Cap, I can't tell you anymore...you will have to come in and pick Amy Smith's brain to see how to do the technique.

I was also there on Sunday when the ladies were taking the Advanced Card Class. Those cards were beautiful and the techniques used to make the cards were just wonderful. Spellbinders, cuddle bug, and many more techniques were used. Amy is a great asset to the store and we can't wait to see what the cards for October will look like.

Don't forget to check the Sassy Scrapper web page to see the upcoming classes.

Next month will have just as many new techniques and ideas.

Special Tribute

As most of you who have been with us for some time know, we lost two very special people in our Sassy Family this year. In February, Brenda lost her beautiful daughter-in-law to cancer and in June Lee’s daddy lost his battle as well. We have all felt the loss of these family members as we continue to love and console our fellow workers who are also our dearest friends.

It is with those heartfelt emotions that Sassy has decided to offer a Tribute gift to honor both Sandy and Mr. Maynard.

On September 11, Lee and her family will be participating in “Sherry’s Run” in Lebanon** in honor of her father. We are inviting you as part of our Sassy Family to make a donation to “TEAM MAYNARD” to express your joy, gratitude or sympathy in someone’s honor. We will have the donation forms at both stores, Memorial and Medical where you are welcome to pick them up.

BUT THAT”S NOT ALL!!! If you come to either store, complete your donation form and leave your check with us . . . SASSY WILL MATCH ALL FUNDS THAT ARE DONATED!!!

As most of you know, we did not travel to Chicago this year for CHA as I felt the economy was just not supportive to that kind of expense, particularly since we were just opening our new location. But now, I feel that God had something else in mind with our CHA monies. I count it a privilege to make this challenge to each of you as we, together, honor these two very special ladies!! I thank you in advance for you support . . . your donation will definitely make a difference in the lives of area cancer patients!!

**** In addition to the fundraising, Lee is designing a special layout honoring those special people in our lives. Whether it be family/friends who we are still able to love and care for or special persons who left us much too soon, this layout is both beautiful and touching and a must for everyone’s album!! It will be made available as a “limited edition” kit at the special price of $14.99. Click here if you would like to order the kit.

I am so excited about this girls and I pray that each of you follow the leading of your hearts as we strive always to make a difference in the time that we are given here on this earth. God’s richest blessings to each of you!! My love and prayers always, Mary @Sassy

Custom Die Cut

Check out this custom die cut I designed for the Murfreesboro Half Marathon. I have signed up to run it and I hope to have some great pictures to scrapbook the occasion. So I thought I would make this die cut and share it with others. If you know anybody that is running it and would like to scrapbook the event let them know we have this custom die cut!! It is $4.99.

Lee

We have turned in all our orders for CHA and now just waiting for the great new products to arrive at our door!! Just remember that it is a crazy time in the industry and no one makes any promises on delivery schedule :) In the meantime, we have put a wonderful new "family" line at Medical and added a "cowboy" line to our "cowgirl" already in both stores :) Still have lots of wonderful beach / summer / camping / Disney papers and embellishments for all those great summer pictures. Get the pictures printed, girls while the memories are fresh and the journaling will come as easily as the smiles :)

We have a great schedule of classes coming up this next week. Monday is both Beginner Cricut and Beginner Scrapook. We all have to start somewhere . . . don't think that it is ever too late ladies, we have all been there :) Brenda will be offering her Digital class at Medical on Tuesday.

So . . . . before we go any further . . . it is official . . . Sassy Scrapper on Medical Center is now OPEN!!!!

We have three beautiful storefronts in our signature "pink" with lots of great new product and lots of room to grow :) We are still carrying fixtures and product almost daily and it is looking more and more like home with every trip :) Many of you have already "found us", but we can't wait to share our new facility with everyone. There is a full schedule of classes / crops at both locations during the month of July!! And we are going to be open at the Medical Center store on Sunday afternoons from 1pm-5pm. COME SEE US!!!

If you haven't been able to stop by the new store on Medical Center Parkway, you just don't know what you are missing. There is new product being put out daily...bear with us girls, it is a alot of work to stock a whole new store. The July calendar is up on the website and there are lots of classes and crops. If the class is marked with a #1 it will be at the old store on Memorial Blvd. If there is a #2 beside a class or cop, it will be at the new location on Medical Center Parkway.
If you are traveling on I-24, just exit onto Medical Center Parkway and we are less than 1/4 mile from that point...easy off, easy on. Come see us!!

All I Can Say is WOW...

What a wonderful first day we had at the new location on Medical Center Parkway. We opened the doors at 9 a.m. to 22 excited ladies who were cropping for the day. The new store is FABULOUS with a HUGE crop space and PLENTY of good lighting. Each day there will be more and more supplies being delivered so stop in frequently to check out the progress. All of us Sassy Girls look forward to seeing you at both locations.

On a sadder note, for those of you who know and love Lee, she is mourning the loss of her dad to cancer. He lost his battle last Monday and I pray you will keep Lee and her family in your prayers. I know from my own experience of just losing my daughter-in-law in February, what a difficult time this will be for her. Cancer "stinks" and I pray someday they will find a cure for this terrible disease.

What a week I had last week. My hubby and I decided to take the three grandchildren camping. We headed out Monday morning to Cedars of Lebanon State Park thinking we would get our campsite all set up and then go jump in the pool. To our surprise, the pool was closed on Monday. It was SO hot so we went back to the camper and just hung out in the air-conditioning. Around dinner time it was still very hot and they all complained about having to eat outside...we were camping, for heavens sake!
Okay, so Tuesday will be better, hopefully. We head to the pool again and guess what...it is closed on Tuesdays too. What a bummer. It is the middle of summer. Why is a pool CLOSED? So guess what we did...back to the camper to play games and sit inside in the air-conditioning again. Wednesday we did get to swim and stayed at the pool most of the day. Thursday morning after breakfast we decided to start cleaning up some of our stuff to head home. All of a sudden it got pitch dark and started pouring down rain. Oh great. So now we are all back in the camper and nobody is very happy. We waited the rain out, closed down our pop-up camper and headed home with everything soaking wet. Got home and the kids were having a fit because we had to set everything back up again to dry out. They just didn't understand that part. I thought camping was supposed to be fun and relaxing.
Oh well, it all turned out good because while we set the camper back up the three kids cleaned the car inside and out! And to our surprise, they did a great job. I guess everything turned out just fine after all. All's well that ends well!!!
Brenda

We carry a line of stamps at the Sassy Scrapper that are designed by a local artist. I love them and her newest one is amazing. I can't wait to get it!!! We should have it in the store in a week or so. She has a website that has a gallery of amazing cards on it. I took one of those examples and put my own spin on it. I loved the way it turned out. The banner is from her stamp set Look Up. It is so versatile. The wish big is cut out with my Silhouette, which I absolutely love. I added the candle because I thought since I was telling someone to wish big they needed a candle. The ribbon is actually a piece of fabric with torn edges. What do you think?

Lee

National Scrapbook Day "All Night" Crop

OH SCRAP!!

OH SCRAP!! What a great time we had at the National Scrapbook Day "All Night" Crop!! We cropped around the clock. We started at 3pm and watched 3am roll past us as many layouts were getting done!! And we were all anxiously waiting at 7am when Mary came in with breakfast. By the way, the My Mind's Eye new line has arrived and I love it! It is just inside the door with three of my grandchildren already on layouts!! Those babies are my heart. We have to get our babies shown off somehow cause Mary keeps taking the front page of the website with all HER new babies!! Does it seem they are arriving every week or what!! Oh Yeah!! Speaking of Mary, she had a great surprise for us. She had scheduled a demonstrator from Cannon to show us the portable printers. AWESOME!! Great for everything and she let us play with them too. Keep checking back to get the scoop on when she is coming back . . . or twist my arm . . . you know I can't keep a secret.

The Ship Has Come In!!

The ship from China must have come in because we finally got some 12x12 Cricut mats. We did not get all that we have ordered, but if you have been in desperate need for a new mat we have several in stock now. Hurry down to get yours before they are gone again!!

What's All the Buzz About???

When I was working Saturday the store was buzzing with the news that the sign was up at the new store. One lady even told me she peeked in and they were painting. I think she was almost as excited as all of us "Sassy Girls".
For those of you who don't know yet, we are opening a second location on Medical Center Parkway in front of the new Embassy Suites Hotel. For anyone travelling the interstate, this will be the perfect location for you with easy access on and off and the store right beside the interstate.
Keep checking the website and the blog for details and opening dates!

Meribah Retreat Update

Fifteen ladies plus Sassy staff attended the retreat. The log cabin is a great place to scrapbook. There were two hundred plus layouts completed while at retreat. There were many pots of coffee consumed, lots of good food eaten, fun fellowship, new friendships made, and the wrap around porch was enjoyed by all. Lots of wildlife to see-Bluebirds, turkeys, redheaded woodpeckers, etc. Dogwood trees, blackberry bushes and many other flowers were blooming. Thank you Mary for organizing such a great retreat!

Secrets of a Staff Meeting.....

Don't tell the boss I'm sharing our staff meeting news with everyone, but I'm just too excited to keep it to myself. The permits have passed and the new store is getting its "Sassy" makeover. Bill is hard at work tearing down walls, patching up holes and will soon be painting the walls a "Sassy Pink". Watch for the sign to be going up on the building in the VERY near future girls. I told you it was exciting news.
If you call the store today, it's not too late to sign up for the Lodge Retreat this weekend. It will be beautiful at this time of year with everything in bloom. Lots of porch space and rocking chairs for when you just need time to think...you know, the times when you are scrapbook brain dead! Not only that...you won't want to miss Mary's wonderful cooking. And as a special surprise this retreat, Bettye will be cooking two of the meals. I tell you girls, you are in for a special time. Just watch out for Kim and Allison...you never know what those two are up to.
The new Basic Grey line, Kioshi, went on the floor yesterday so you definitely want to get to the store to check it out before it flies out the door.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this beautiful Tennessee weather!
Brenda

Meribah Retreat

Are you packed yet? I am! This is my 1st visit to the log cabin in the woods. Mother Nature has the woods in full bloom, the birds are singing, so excited to see what she has in store for us this weekend. We'll be eating Mary's great food, enjoying fellowship of new friends, sharing a happy place to create new memories, lots of pictures to be taken and scrap book pages to be made. Hope to see you there and have a blessed day.

Don't They Look Good...

A huge thank you goes out to one of our customers, Jean Heid, for making these creative and delicious cookies for us for Easter. Thank you, Jean, for thinking of the "Sassy Staff". It just goes to show what great customers we have and how creative you all are!!

HUGE News!!!

We have had such a problem keeping this under wraps, but wanted to be sure that everything was in order before we let the cat out of the bag.
And I wanted to be sure that you . . . our special customers . . . were the first to hear!! SASSY SCRAPPER will be opening a second location on Medical Center Parkway!! Lots yet to do both with the building and business technicalities, but the lease is signed, I have keys to the building . . . . it is a done deal!! Watch for our second location "on the other side of town" coming soon!!!

I know that jaws must be dropping and you are all a bit stunned, but please know that we are excited and have great things planned for you!! Also, please know from the bottom of my heart just how thankful I am for each and every one of you. Without you there would be no Sassy Scrapper. We love you, we appreciate all that you are to us, we look forward to another 5-10 years of being your hometown scrapbook store!! You deserve the best and we intend to offer it to you!!

Hold on to your hats girls!! Hugs from Mary @Sassy

Look Up

If you have not heard of Practicing Creativity, you are missing out. It is a new stamp line that is designed by a local designer. Her name is Courtney Baker, check out her website here. She will be teaching a class in April, so be on the lookout for details. Look Up is her latest stamp set. This one and her last one You're Dandy are sold out on her website but we have them in stock. So don't hesitate and come on down and get your set. Here is a card using the Look Up set.

What Why and Wow

If you really want to know what all the rage is with the Copic markers you need to come on down to the store and take a Copic marker class. Lee is back from Memphis and is now officially a Certified Designer. She can fill you in on all those little secrets the designers know to make their projects so wonderful as well as the basic knowledge you need to use the Copics. You will be making a sketch book with a color chart to keep up with all your colors and combinations that you like. You will also get a color wheel to show you what colors go together well. We have 2 classes this month Tuesday night March 9 at 6:00 and Sunday March 14 at 2:00. The cost is $25.00 and you get to pick a marker of your choice.

Babies are here!!

What a fun filled week when babies are born. Molly had Mary Addyson (what a great name) on Tuesday. Rachel had Kallen William (also a great name) on Thursday. Everyone is doing fine, especially Neenaw. As you can tell from the picture, Mary Addyson is going to give Kallen a hard time.

Don't Forget about Mickey!!

Don't forget this weekend is our all day Disney day. You will be making a tag, a beautiful 2 page layout and an awesome 8x10 album. You will be working so hard we will feed you to keep up your strength!!
