DECEMBER KITS / CLOSURE OF M&M

FINAL NEWSLETTER

CLOSURE OF M&M

Hi everyone !

It is with a heavy heart that we see the end of an era. 

As the saying goes.. all good things must come to an end.  We were the second longest running Scrapbooking Kit Club in South Africa, but with the economy, the competition, suppliers closing shop, work pressures, etc etc, we find that it is time to say Goodbye to M&M Kit Club as we close up shop.

We would like to THANK YOU all very much for your support over the past 7 odd years and we appreciate all the friendships we have made along the way with this amazing hobby of ours.   Scrapbookers are an amazing group of people and we are going to miss you all very much !

Please note that we might still put out the occasional kit here and there and we will decide in 2015 if we will be having a Retreat again.

Below please find our final two M&M Kits and we hope you all have a wonderful FESTIVE SEASON with your families and loved ones.

Hugs,

Sweet M and Nutty M

JANUARY 2014 KIT & NEWSLETTER

JANUARY 2014

●●●● NEWSLETTER ●●●●

                                                                                                 

Hi everyone !

Welcome to another year of amazing scrapbooking fun !  We hope that everyone is back safe and sound and that you all had an amazing break.  I know that a lot of you had tons of unfinished kits in your stash, I hope you had time to get some of them done (with photos ! .. LOL)

We apologise for the lateness of our Newsletter but it seems South Africa went into slow mode this year already and lots of our suppliers only opened shop today, hence our delay in getting kits out!   

Just a few things re the kits for 2014 for your info:

CONFIRMATION OF KITS FOR 2014:

Please note that with it being a new year, we need to get re-confirmations of your intentions to purchase kits.  As we cannot “assume” that you want the kits, please can we ask if you would drop an e-mail to Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za, and indicate if you want to book for 3,6,12 months.  Remember that if you pre-book you are guaranteed of getting your kits and not missing out on some amazing layouts.  If your details have changed, please let Mitch know as well.

REMEMBER:  you are not obligated to take the kits, but this is a good indicator for us of the quantities needed.

BIG NOTE:  Please remember when doing EFT’s that you indicate your NAME and MONTH KIT as your reference, it gets very confusing on our side otherwise.  Thanks.

PAYMENTS OF KITS:

Also, on doing a recon, we have noted that the banks are charging us lots for Cash Deposits into our account.  Can we please request that all payments be done via EFT if possible ? 

We can email you the 2014 Order Form,  with includes the fees applicable to the Cash Deposits and amounts being charged to us via the Banks.  If you cannot do an EFT, we ask that you please add the additional fees to your deposit as per attached.  We do apologise for this, but these costs have been escalating and we cannot carry them any longer.  We do hope you understand.

FREE KIT !
DEDICATED M&M’ers  - Book your kits for the full year and make full payment by end February and you will only pay for 11 kits, the 12th kit will be free

DIARISE:

(7-10 AUGUST 2014)

We are already planning our Retreat for 2014.

Remember that our Womans Day weekend Retreat @ Olifants River Lodge will be held over the weekend of 7-10 August 2013. 

We hope to see you all there!  

Details to be confirmed, but as it is a long way away, you can already start making part-payments to Nutty M to pay it off long before the time. 

A deposit of R 500 confirms your seat but the exact total amount to be confirmed ASAP (last year was R 2900 so won’t be too much more).

Contact Mitch at info@thevillagescrapper.co.za to arrange this.

Hugs,

Sweet M and Nutty M
