Cha…cha…cha…changes!!

While at CHA our representative for Fred Hill, Inc. (Cathy Arnold) used the term “cha cha” to describe some cool new paper that we were purchasing!  Isn’t that appropriate??  Well, I can tell you, there was plenty of cool new product that we saw (and purchased - woo hoo!) that was indeed, very “cha cha”!!  For those of you who might not know, CHA is an acronym for Craft Hobby Association and is THE place to purchase scrapbook and craft product for the upcoming months.  And, you will be happy to know, there are going to be LOADS of that product gracing our shelves over the next few weeks and months.  I’m so glad we rearranged our store for our painting project and made room for all of this new merchandise!

And, speaking of painting projects - I drove directly to the Scrapbook Pad from the airport yesterday to see the progress being made by our painters.  Wow!  We are definitely not that old store anymore!!  The colors are bold and get your attention and are exactly the look that we were striving to achieve.  It made me laugh to think that this store used to be called “a step-child”!  We have definitely come into our own and are indeed, making a statement!  The colors scream “progressive”, “hip”, “fresh”, and “new”.  It was amazing to see how many new vendors, manufacturers, and designers are using this very same color palette or combinations thereof!  Our color scheme is very timely and we are so lucky to have such a large store that allows us to be progressive and refuse to blend into the role of ”second best”.  If you’re not sure about the cha…cha…cha…changes, hang in there!  We’re a work in progress so reserve your judgments for the final product!  I think you’ll find it very … CHA CHA!!

Quote of the Day:  “It’s fun to be on the edge.  I think you do your best work when you take chances, when you’re not safe, when you’re not in the middle of the road, at least for me, anyway.”      - Danny DeVito

Come over and hang out for awhile!!   Jeanie/The Scrapbook Pad
