Thank you so much to everyone who was able to visit the YNS booth at ScrapFest this weekend! I really appreciate all your support and love for YNS!
I have to admit I didn’t think I could handle all the ScrapFest prep and the actual 2 day event with a new baby plus many of you may not know this by my Dad passed away suddenly on March 6th which turned my world upside down. He was a wonderful man supported my love for YNS, he even came up with the name ‘Your Next Stamp’ so I knew he would want the show to go on! With all the support of my family and wonderful friends we made it happen and it was a super FUN weekend! My Dad would be very proud!
Check it out…
Lots of wonderful customers shopping! Thank you so much for all your love for YNS!!! It really brightens my day to hear all the wonderful things you have to say about our products and designers!
My brother in law Mal and Chris worked the cash – thanks guys! You made all the ladies smile with your good humor!
Jessica even came for a visit and she had a blast! Check out those big eyes and look of excitement!
Tracy and Jen were amazing with the all customers! Thanks ladies!!! You gals ROCK!
We hope to see everyone at the next ScrapFest in Richmond Hill!!! Stampy Hugs!

I had an absolute blast at ScrapFest and met so many amazing people! I’d like to thank all my wonderful customers who stopped in to say Hi! I loved meeting all of you and it was great to see some familiar faces from ScrapFest in Kitchener too! Special thanks to Christine from Dol Creations who made an effort to track me down and introduce herself – it was so great to meet you Christine!!!
I’m also so grateful for my family who helped me prepare for this event. Everyone was there with me as well to help out and support me – thank you so much! I really couldn’t do this without all of you!
I’m still unpacking and winding down from all the excitement and waiting on some pictures that my family took of the event so while I’m waiting to get the remaining photos here is a picture of my sister and niece helping with the final set up of the booth on Friday night…
