Scrap Your Trip Marks Down 1000+ Items
What do a grocery store and the 4th of July have in common? Freedom of choice. We recently had a new Whole Foods open in Orlando. The build-up (and subsequent traffic) rivals the recent opening of our IKEA store. But this isn’t just any grocery store. It’s a 52,000 sq ft grocery store, with a 4,000 sq ft produce section, 30 varieties of fresh made sausages and kebobs, 400 types of cheeses and over 900 wines. It took us 2 1/2 hours to see it all (along with 500 or so of our closest friends). It was, quite simply, the most amazing food experience I’ve had in my life! We picked up several different kinds of prepared food and took it home for dinner. Every night at the dinner table we take turns telling “Best Part/Most Grateful”…the best part of our day and what we are the most grateful for that day. When it came to my turn, I said I was grateful for all the food choices we have available to us on a daily basis. Within a 5-mile radius of where I live, there are literally thousands of different foods/menu items that I can choose from. As I was explaning to the kids just how fortunate we are, I got really choked up. As an American, I feel as if I live in the most incredible country on Earth (my apologies to my international scrappin’ friends). I have the freedom to eat what I want, dress how I want, run the business that I want, get the education that I want. Any choice I want is available to me. If I make a bad choice, I get the opportunity to make a better one next time. My daughter is unaware of how different her life will be as a woman, simply because she was born an American. It’s very easy to take all our freedoms for granted, but I try to remember all the heroic men and women (and the families that support them) who are fighting to protect my freedoms every day. From the bottom of my heart…thank you. We have over 50 new patriotic/4th of July items this week to help scrapbook your 4th of July festivities, including 10 exclusive SYT designs.

Every July, the summer Craft & Hobby Association Tradeshow is held in Chicago and I get to go squeal with delight at all the new scrapbook products that our talented industry has designed. That also means it’s time to clear warehouse space, so it’s “Out With The Old, In With The New” time! We have over 1,000 items (1,046 to be exact) items marked 25% off. We have 129 Bazzill colors on marked down on overstock and over 700 items are going away forever, so get while the gettin’s good!
