Our first ScrapHappy ‘Swap Meet’ flea market was very successful!. Ten vendor tables were set-up in our cropping area, bulging with various and sundry scrapbooking/crafting type items to sell to customers and fellow swappers…whoever walked through the door! There was a lot of selling, buying, negotiating, dickering and haggling to get the best price for the item that was up for grabs. As I canvassed the swap area, I could see smiles and hear the laughter…folks having lots of fun!
The more seasoned swap-goers knew the drill. Holding out until the very end to get that bargain. It was kind of exciting to watch. The banter going back and forth was… “Let’s make a deal! Make me an offer! Well, how much do YOU want to pay for it! Oh…just take it!”
But best of all, at the end of the day, whatever didn’t go back home was boxed up and donated to the Summer Boost Literacy Program sponsored by Sweet Connections. Everybody wins…ScrapHappy, vendors, customers & our community.
That’s why we’re so ScrapHappy! We’ll do this again.

During this time of the year, the days appear move by so quickly; before you know it, the holiday season is upon us. What better way to celebrate the season than with this Countdown Till Christmas - Calendar. Angie Duerden, Scrap Therapist, created two types of Calendars for our students to choose from. One with traditional red & green hues and the other one with floresent pink & green. Twenty-five little pop-up windows that hide goodies, and holiday riddles behind each flap. Each calendar was adorned with ribbon or tulle to hang in a special place of honor. Crafters were delighted with their completed calendars and were all smiles as they proudly displayed their creations.
We, the staff, also had our own internal design contest; we want to play, too. However, no prizes for us, just bragging rights. Diane Corcoran was the staff winner with "Save the Ta Ta's!
