11/3/10 Scrapbook Gift Baskets at The Scrapbook Studio & Cafe!

Good Morning to you all!  It's a beautiful crisp morning in Ohio and every day I get more and more excited to getting closer to opening The Scrapbook Studio!

Today's Blog topic is....

** Scrapbooking Gift Baskets! **

Something unique that I am excited to offer at The Studio is Scrapbook Gift Baskets!  For that special someone who loves to scrapbook, stamp, make cards or handmade gifts, we will put together a BEAUTIFULLY assembled and decorated gift basket!

You can pick out all of the items yourself, or have my staff or me do it for you! 

It can be ANY THEME, ANY SIZE, ANY PRICE RANGE! 

There is no charge for the assembly of the basket, just a small fee for the materials & basket used, but we make it beautiful for you...for free!  Or bring in your "basket or other container" and we'll STILL assemble it for you!

This is a great gift idea for those husbands, boyfriends or significant others who need just a little "nudge" in getting that PERFECT gift for their scrapbooker!

The Holidays are quickly approaching! 

Let The Scrapbook Studio help make those gift-giving challenges a LOT easier!
