It has been quite a week in the Swatek household.  My son, Logan, had a fever the night we left for our Utah vacation.  The after hours pediatrics place said it was just a virus, but it turned out to be walking pneumonia.  It has a 1-4 week incubation period and on Sunday, my daughter, had a fever and broke out in a rash all over her face.  You guessed it, she had pneumonia too!  In typical Lauren (8 going on 25) fashion, she wailed, "I can’t POSSIBLY go to summer camp looking like THIS!"  She has quite the flair for the dramatic.  I have no idea where she got it from.

 

I am so excited to say that our Wishlist is finally live!  It’s been an adventure getting it all programmed (we had to switch programming companies mid-stream – that’s what took so long), but TA! DA!, it’s ready to hold all the items your heart desires.  It will also hold your shipping and billing address, so you don’t have to type it each time (but not your credit card data).  It has an order history, which as of right now, is just the orders that you place after you sign up.  They are working on the programming to pull in your previous order history, so stay tuned!  As of right now, it is just a wish list, a "bucket" to hold items you like.  I can also have a registry feature programmed in (just like a wedding or baby registry), but I don’t know if that is something anyone would be interested in.  I posted a poll below and I’d appreciate any feedback and/or comments.

 

We have some "magical" new items this week   We have the Magical Memories Collection from Creative Imaginations to highlight those Disney vacations.  Also from Creative Imaginations, we have a new Tropical Collection from Marah Johnson and just for Father’s Day, the "Old Guys Rule" collection.  The SYT Design Team made lots of cute die cuts in celebration of Father’s Day, including a customizable beer mug!  We have the just released L’il Davis Travel Collection, the What’s Cooking? collection from Flair and a Cruise collection from Moxxie (all with matching Bazzill packs, of course!).  We also added all the new products from Memories in Uniform, including the GI Jacket Album.  The fabric is removable so you can sew patches, etc. onto the cover.  Lastly, many of you have been requesting ziplining die cuts.  They’re here!  None of us have ever been ziplining, so I hope we got them right.  I guess I’ll have to take another vacation so I can zip through the canopy so that I know our die cuts are accurate.  See what I’m willing to do for my customers?   Click here to see them all:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/61808.html.

 

We’ve been receiving lots of positive feedback from you on our pre-orders and the fact that we offer the entire collection.  To quote our customer Mary B. "I love the idea of being able to pre-order things.  No one and I mean no one offers the complete line of anything.  Thank you so much."  You’re welcome, Mary.  Glad we can be of service! 

 

We have four Heidi Grace collections for pre-order this week:  A Little Bird’s Tale, Baby, Beyond the Sea and We Are Family. The estimated ship date for these collections is July 14th.  As with all our pre-orders, all orders containing pre-orders will ship together as soon as pre-order items are available. If you need your other items sooner, please place them in a separate order.  Click here to see the Heidi Grace items:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/heidigrace.html.  Today is also the last day to order KI Memories.  We hope to receive and start shipping those items by July 2.  Click here to order KI Memories:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/kimemories.html.

 

As always, thanks for your business!

Scrap Your Trip®

‘cuz life is a trip worth scrappin’®

 

P.S.  There has been an event in my life in the past two weeks that has reminded me of the fragility of life and how we often take things and people for granted.  Just a friendly reminder to hug someone that you love and to remind the people who matter to you how much of a difference they make in your life.
