Newsletter 25/2/11

Hello Fellow Flaunters,

20 Days of over 30'c and still counting! It weird how Mother Nature is really showing us who is boss, I truly believe that we need to understand that like children this earth is only on loan to us and we need to care for it. Watching the news all week and seeing the devastation in New Zealand, our thoughts have been with everyone who has been affected by this tragedy.

On to happier things... Last weekend we celebrated 3 years of Scrap It Flaunt It. We had lots of fun here at the shop with ladies scrapping till the wee hours of the morning. Throughout the weekend we had random specials and lots of savings to be had. We have some great photos and I will be posting them soon, I promise!
