In HELEN’S January 22nd e-newsletter that has just been sent out it talks about the Craft Hobby Association Winter 2010 Convention & Trade Show that Helen will be attending.

I’m interested in seeing what dog-themed scrapbooking items Helen finds while out in Anaheim.  She will be making updates to HELEN’S facebook fan page during her visit.

(Hampstead, NC) — January 6, 2010 – In time for the upcoming Craft Hobby Association show in Anaheim California the elusive gift for the scrapbooking enthusiast has been solved thanks to new scrapbooking themed HELEN’S Queen of the Crop™ gift soap set being launched by Helen’s Scrapbooking Studio.  The three-piece gift soap set, is made by Glynne’s Soaps exclusively for Helen’s Scrapbooking Studio.

The gift set with HELEN’S signature colors comes in three scents (Orange ginger, lavender chamomile, and eucalyptus) with HELEN’S signature Scrap Chat Laugh and are gift wrapped to make the perfect gift for the scrapbooker in your life.  Each 2-ounce bar is embossed with a crown for the Queen of the Crop™.

The $15.00 set is available exclusively at HELEN’S Scrapbooking Studio both online and in the studio.  Plans are to make it available for sale at select independent scrapbook retailers in 2010.

HELEN’S is featured as the ‘Mover & Shaker’ in the January/February issue of Scrapbook Business Magazine in a two page article that includes showcasing the exclusive gift soap set.  The magazine is celebrating its Tenth Anniversary this issue.

Helen Rittersporn, owner of Helen’s Scrapbooking Studio & More, said of Glynne’s Soaps, “When looking for a supplier for my custom soaps I chose Glynne’s Soaps because of three great reasons! One, their reputation for all natural soaps; two, they are a fellow local Wilmington business; and three, their flexibility to customize for my business based on my specific needs.  Working with Gayle and Jenn has been very insightful in determining package size and scents.  It was fun extending my brand into my concept of scrapbook themed gift soaps.”

Gayle Tabor, of Glynne’s Soaps said, “It is always fun to work with another business owner to find the right combination of scents, colors and packaging to reflect their business. We are excited about the gift set we have worked closely with Helen to create and look forward to a long prosperous relationship”.

All three women are social media enthusiasts and met through fellow twitter friend Sarah Barbee in the fall of 2009.  The two local Wilmington area businesses are excited about the unique opportunity the new product represents for their business-to-business success.

By popular request there will be a November Girls Night Out at the studio.

November Girls Night Out Plymouth Rock Crop!

The crop will include a very special THANKSGIVING Themed make-and-take you won’t want to miss!  and it comes with bragging rights!

Date: Friday November 20th

Time: 6pm-12pm midnight

Fee: $10 per person (must be pre-paid to confirm your secured spot) for 6 hours of cropping!

Here is the link to register online for Plymouth Rock Crop!

Just a reminder – no meal is included, however if you want to bring in something, (as several have told me they are planning to) we have the beautiful and color-coordinated studio placemats to elevate the sack-lunch (make that sack-dinner) experience.

There are complimentary individual sized bottled waters stocked in the studio refrigerator when using the studio.  If you are fine with just water, plan for that option. If you do bring in a soft-drink, please be sure its a screw cap bottle, no cans. If your soft-drink is in a container, it must have a lid on it.  There are no alcohol beverages at the Studio.

Studio etiquette drives us all being a maniac about preventing any spills in the studio, especially making sure we don’t put anyone’s photos at risk of spills.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Plymouth Rock Crop!

All for now, I’m off to collect pumpkins and other items for decorating the studio!
