Thanks for watching my videos and subscribing. This is a Scrapbook and Paper Crafting Supply Haul post Copic 101 Class. First store is in Poway, California. Cool Scrapbook Stuff. They hosted the class that was taught by an Jill Grace, an Amuse Art Stamp design team member and copic certified instructor. Great information about the markers and I would highly recommend a class from her. I picked up a few goodies from the store. The second part of video features supplies from Paper Tales in San Diego. The discount I reference is from registeringfor, and participating in the Southern California Scrapbook Store Shop Hop. You went from store to store and got “stamps” in your “passport” based on your spend level. Some stores had buttons or pins to affix to your lanyard — you had to purchase them or got them as premiums for your spending level. The participating stores send emails every so often to encourage you to visit the stores again and so I did. I believe in shopping at independent retailers and also recognize great service. I recognized that everyone has a budget, people will drive to get the service level they want or expect, and business owners have margins to meet. Where we spend our precious crafting pennies is a choice … all retailers — big box and independent have a place in each consumers’ shopping basket. Enjoy the goodies. Please leave a comment about your service expectations.
