Today's challenge from the Two Peas website is to blog about the following: "If your local scrapbook store had a monthly club would you join it and why"....... Well my LSS DOES have a monthly club, and I DID join it. They call it 'Book Club'. It costs $30 for a three month membership and you have to renew every three months. Then we get together once a month and we get to show off the pages and projects we have completed that month. After everyone has had a chance to show & tell, we get a new kit (valued at $10) and a new technique or challenge. Then we have the whole next month to make something with that kit and technique or challenge to show off at next month's book club. The store even has a wall to display our book club layouts! I really enjoy book club as it's the only time I get to show off my scrapbook work (aside from online). This month's kit has a patriotic theme. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get something done worth showing, which is usually the day before it's due, LOL.
