New and Improved Die Cut Center

 

We are so excited about our new die cut area.  We have spent so much time building the new die cut center, Gilbert did a great job, didn’t he? The girls poured over the catalog in search of the right dies. We bought tons of dies, a new alphabet and we have more dies on order as we speak.  We bought two New, Bigger and Better Die Cut Machine. This machine is so easy to use! We are so excited to get it up and running!!

 

In the interest of maintaining the dies, the die cut machines and the die cut area and so that we can continue to add new dies to the die cut area, we will begin charging a small fee to use the die cut area.    

 

In order to become a member of the SGT Die Cut Club you will need to take a 10 minute class. In this class you will learn how to use all of the machines in the die cut area. After you finish the class you will become an official member of the SGT Die Cut Club. You determine how often you want to take advantage of the die cut area and choose if you would like to pay by the hour, by the month or by the year. The fees are as follows... $2 for 15 minutes, $3 for 30 minutes, $5 for one hour, $10 for a monthly fee or $50 for a yearly fee.

 

In addition to a few AccuCut alphabets, we also have some Sizzix and Sizzlets alphabets. Various flower, tag, card and envelope dies.

GRAND OPENING SALE
GRAND OPENING

GRAND OPENING NEWS 10/16/04

Yes….It is true. I don’t care what anyone says!! Scrappin’ Good Times has the absolute BEST CUSTOMERS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!! We expected family and friends to be at our Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony because they were obligated to be here. What we never expected was having so many of our customers here. We were overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you all for the flowers, the cards and the well wishes. This will go down in our life history book as one of the BEST TIMES OF OUR LIVES!!!

Our Grand Opening was so much fun. It was successful beyond our wildest dreams. We figured we would have a lot of people here but we NEVER expected to have as many as we did. On a good day we have about 50 transactions. We had a total of 278 transactions!! This overwhelming response tells us that our customers like getting their scrapbook supplies at 25% off. We did this to show our appreciation to you and we plan to do it again soon. We thank you for your continuing support and kind words about our store. We sincerely apologize to those of you who had to wait in the long lines. We are regrouping right now and trying to figure out how we can do things better the next time. Every day is a learning experience for us and we will do our best to ALWAYS make your shopping experience a pleasant one.

Many of our friends and customers gave up their Saturday and VOLUNTEERED to help us out. Jennifer and Eddie own the scrapbook store called TableScrapz at the Brea Mall. We are so lucky that they have the same cash register system as us. They worked the cash register so we could be free to help you. Jennifer and Eddie, we are blessed with your friendship and our business partnership. We thank you for all your great ideas and suggestions which we have put to good use in our store. Please make sure you visit their scrapbook store as soon as possible!

On a regular day Erika works at Obrien Systems which is the company that sells our cash register. When I was desperate to find someone who could help I thought of Erika, after all she was the person who trained us. She is always there for us when we are in a bind!!!

Our good friend Donna Valdez helped us out with product demonstrations and customers service. Donna is like a permanent fixture in our store and we love it, she has helped us out since day one. I am extremely indebted to Donna because she took four days off work to accompany me to the Memory Trends Trade Show in Las Vegas so I would not have to go alone. She was better than a personal assistant. She made sure I was on time to all my appointments and helped me pick out all of great products that should be arriving at our store within the next couple of weeks.

Coco Sandstrom was the friendly one greeting you at the raffle ticket desk. Coco is my long time friend who has always supported me and has always offered her help….I finally took her up on her offer. Thank you Coco!!

It is great having a DJ in the family!! My brother Art Gomez spent several days making a ten hour compilation of music and lugged all his equipment over to the store to make sure you would have great music to shop to.

Michelle Gutierrez, Kristen Robinson, Monique Clemmer and Larynda Peterson started off as customers and are now our friends. They were responsible for all those great Make & Takes. They also helped with Customer Service because they are here so often that they know our store just as well as we do. Check out our Class schedule because Michelle, Kristen, Monique and Larynda will be teaching several classes at Scrappin’ Good Times. They are all so creative and talented. You will be missing out if you do not sign up for their classes!!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to KARYSSA RODRIGUEZ. Karyssa was so sweet to come and entertain us all with those VERY SMOOTH MICHAEL JACKSON MOVES!! Everyone was talking about how great you were for days after your performance.

Last but not least!! Thank you to the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce who came out to our store early on a Saturday morning when I am sure they would rather be sleeping in. Thank you for coming out and giving us our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. This made the day seem so OFFICIAL!!
