The girls started off a little quiet and reserved at the beginning of the week and made fast friends by the end of the week and had a twenty page 12x12 album completed. The week was such a success and so much fun that we will DEFINITELY do this again!!!

NSD Weekend / Marah Johnson! May 3rd-5th
The National Scrapbook day Weekend was an absolute blast!!
Day One started out with our Pajama Party. Our participants were comfy and cozy walking around in their robes and slippers as they completed their scrapping projects. All-you-can-eat Pizza, salad, snacks and an Ice Cream Social Sponsored by Sweet Connection ended the day.
Day Two began with a mouth-watering breakfast of organic waffles, sausages, fresh fruit and more. Two classes were taught by the incredibly talented Marah Johnson.
Twelve Things to Love!

Twelve Things to Love!
A beautifully decorated box that houses twelve individual mini chipboard booklets to fill all of your favorite things. All components of the box/mini books were color coordinated with paper that shows the ‘Marah Johnson’ style.
That’s Amore!

Rock out on this one! An intricately detailed sculptured mini board book all decked out with Marah’s rock’n paper. This album was topped off with an antique heart, wrapped in copper and adorned with a golden crown. Really, really cute!
We’re still on Day Two and our participants were still scrappin’, eating and just having fun.
We went on-and-on until the strike of midnight!
Day Three – More give-aways, games, make-n-takes, time to crop and tasty food.
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, we busted open a piñata full of coupons, store specials & candy. What a wild bunch.

Mayoral Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony! April 30th
We are very proud that ScrapHappy is part of the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce. On April 30, 2009, San Bruno Mayor, Larry Franzella, performed an official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to formally signify the Grand Re-Opening of ScrapHappy and welcome us into the community. As our customers entered our store, they were met with a very festive atmosphere. We had store specials, door prizes, raffles, make-and-takes, and outstanding food & beverages from some of the best local restaurants:
Kobe Sake - A Giant Sushi Platter.
Ming’s - Potstickers.
Thai Nakorn - Chicken Satay.
Kuya’s – Lumpias
West Coast Café - Bruschetta
Fruit Platters, Desserts & More!

GRAND Opening!!! April 3rd
You had to hold onto your socks for this one!! More than an hour prior to the doors opening, happy scrappers started lining up around the block to take a peek at our newly decked out store. Once the doors opened, we had a line at the register at least 30 people deep for a solid three-and-a-half hours!!! In addition to the sale, we had goodie bag gifts for the first 50 customers, freebies, hourly raffles and just all-around fun. When customers with the winning ticket were announced, they did the “Happy Dance!” (Visualize waiving your hands in the air and dancing like you just don’t care – woo-woo!) If you missed this one, I’m sorry.
We've Moved!!!
We were getting ready!
Sarah Battaglia – owner of the new ScrapHappy store was painstakingly coordinating (and inputting, too!) the inventory of each and every product in the entire store into a brand new Point of Sale system. Inventory had to be completed prior to the move date. In addition, she was coordinating a crew of staff members, friends and volunteers, standing by to move the entire store just a mere three doors down. You might think that the short distance would make this a not-so-difficult task. (i.e., no moving vans, and no mileage.) Sounds simple? Not! “The Avenue” was littered with Disney stickers & embellies as the afternoon San Bruno winds blew in!
Meanwhile, at the new place, Chris Hart (General Contractor and Sarah’s husband) was orchestrating all the hammering, painting, electrical, lighting, flooring and all other remodeling minutia. Both teams of folks worked until the wee hours in the morning to meet the move-in grand re-opening deadline. Whew! Even amongst all the turmoil & turbulence, owners, staff members, & volunteers, got it done!
