Glad so many of you like Eric’s performance! Now he’s busy thinking up his next one!
As so many of you have requested, here are the song lyrics:
Now this a story all about why
I didn’t stop scrappin’ just because I’m a guy
So I’d like to take a minute just sit on down
I’ll tell you how I came to scrap in a place called O-Town
In the south side of Florida born and raised
Scrappin’ is how I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all scrappin’ my book outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Didn’t like scrappin’ in the neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said you shouldn’t be scrappin’
You’re a guy and it’s weird!
So I whistled for a cab, and when it came near,
the license plate said “scrap” and it had a die cut in the mirror.
If anything I could say it came just for me
But I thought “Nah forget it, Yo home to SYT”
I pulled up to Scrap Your Trip about seven or eight,
and I yelled to the cabby “Yo homes, scrap ya later.”
Looked at the store, I was finally there,
To scrap all I want and no one will care!

One of the things that has been very important to me as I’ve built Scrap Your Trip is that it’s a great place to work. The corporate job I was “merged” out of right before I started the company was a phenomonal workplace and I had a terrific boss. I’ve always strived to make Scrap Your Trip the kind of place where people can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning and get to work (myself included). I think I’ve been pretty successful at creating that culture, as is evidenced by a video I want to share with you. Eric is the only guy who works in the office and has been here for over 2 years. He’s very quiet with a hysterical sense of humor – one of those types who doesn’t say much, but when they do – look out! The video is a song he wrote to perform for us at our Christmas party (but he got really sick that day and had to go home). Rhonda captured it on her camera and I wanted to give you a glimpse into the “life” of Scrap Your Trip. Click here:

We have over 100 new scrapbooking supplies this week. The dog line from Cloud 9 has been so popular that we added all the rest of the items. Based on your requests, we’ve also added nine different dog breed titles. We also made dog bowls and cat bowls that can be customized with your pet’s name! We have Elvis scrapbooking supplies in honor of his birthday, Hockey, Track & Field, lots of new travel tags from Reminsce and more destination title cuts from Scrap Your Trip. We’ve also added the “Amazing Grace” line from Flair. Click here to see all the items:

Thanks for all the things to look for at the CHA show posts on the blog. We have quite a list of new things to keep an eye out for. Our goal is to find the unique scrapbooking supplies you need to “scrap your trip” through life and if we can’t find it – we’ll make it!
As always, thanks for your business!
