Scrap Your Trip Adds 257 Items + Free Shipping w/$49 Order

I love Facebook!  There…I said it!   I am not one of those people who is first in line for the "next new thing".  I’m more of the "wait around and see if it lasts" kind of gal.   I set up a Facebook page awhile ago, but I never really did anything with it.  I heard people talk about it, especially my "mom" friends, but I didn’t really see what the big deal was about.   Then last Monday, I was talking with a customer and she said "You don’t have a Scrap Your Trip Fan Page?  You really should have one."  So, by that afternoon I had the page ready to go and started "FB"-ing during the week.   So after my first week on Facebook, here’s what I can say.  I love Facebook!  I totally get it now!  I feel connected to my Facebook friends in ways I couldn’t have before.   I learned my niece, a high school runner, ran 9 miles one day.  I learned my cousin must have a new boyfriend, because she changed her status from "single".  I learned one of my employees is a huge Michael Jackson and Brittany Spears fan.  I learned that a longtime customer has a Dad who’s really sick and she has become his full-time caregiver.  I learned my friend in Jacksonville has started composting in her backyard.  I learned that Marah Johnson lost her luggage on the way to Orlando for CHA.  I even found the group of my high school alumni and saw a picture of one of my first boyfriends (he hasn’t aged as well as me!)   I always say that life is in the details and Facebook keeps people up-to-date with the little details.  It’s always better to have a long chat with someone over a cup of tea or coffee to find out what they are up to, but since the time to do that keeps getting fewer and farther between, this helps fill in the gaps.   I have also been posting all the CHA details to the Scrap Your Trip Fan Page.  It’s the "almost-as-if-you-were-there" update.  I felt like I was posting a booth-by-booth update yesterday!  I took lots of pictures of new releases and posted them when we got back from the show last night.  I’ll be doing the same today.   So, if you’d like to share the details of life, become my friend on Facebook.  Click here for me personally:  http://www.facebook.com/julie.swatek and here http://www.facebook.com/ScrapYourTrip to become a Scrap Your Trip Fan and keep up to date with all the great new products being debuted at the tradeshow.   We have 257 new items this week in lots of themes!  Collections include:  "Retrospection" by Momenta, "U Bug Me!" by Bo Bunny, "Airy Fairy" by Kaisercraft, and the new Signature Series by Reminisce, with categories including:  Adoption, Baking, Baptism, Baseball, Basketball, Bath Time, Brothers, Competition, Confirmation, Dance, Fishing, Football, Horses, Hunting, Paintball, Performance, Preschool, Prom, Sisters, Travel, Tropical and Twins!  Whew!  We also have some new Disney character stickers from EK Success and two new albums from Pioneer Scrapbook Albums: Family and Friends.   There are five layouts for these collections in our Shop By Layout section.  Click here to see:  Shop by Layout.
