Under Construction

We are currently working on updating our blog to reflect the move from an online store to a physical store. Thanks for your patience as we get this all worked out.

However, there is still plenty of fantastic inspiration here. If you are new to our blog, take a look around. Definately, some amazing creativity here. Make sure you scroll down a bit as there is information on both the right and left hand sides of the page.

Have a great weekend and don't forgot about our BOGO sale ending tomorrow.

Changes to the POTP Blog

Hello Everyone. The POTP team has decided to make changes to the blog schedule starting today, September 1st. Instead of posting each day, we will now post 4-5 times per week, as follows...

one week...
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday

following week...
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday

As always, we strive to provide you with inspiration and motivation, here on the message board, in the gallery and on the blog. The design team, however, finds that they're stretched a little thin between the three. We're hoping this change eases the pressure off the team and allows us to better serve in the other areas.

Thanks for your support and understanding!

Sonja McLean, DT Coordinator

Happy NSD!

It's National Scrapbooking Day and we're celebrating by having an online crop this weekend. Hope you'll come and join the fun.

If you are reading this post, you have a chance to get your name in the crop prize draw. Just post a comment here and your name will be entered. Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone this is here. They have to find it on their own.

Do you have something to share with us?

Have you seen something on the POTP blog and couldn't wait to comment? Well, wait no more because we've opened the blog up to comments. Feel free to share your thoughts with us.

Merry Christmas

Our wishes for peace, joy and love this holiday season from the team at Pick Of The Patch.

It has been a wonderful year and it wouldn't be possible without all the amazing people who visit the Patch. We look forward to spending time with you in 2008.

POTP Loves Fontwerks

POTP has always loved Kah-Mei Smith and her amazing team at Fontwerks. This month it seems that Fontwerks loves one of our own. The Friend of Fontwerks this month is none other than our very talented Sonja McLean. Check out her designs on the Fontwerks website. Congratulations Sonja!

There just might be some Fontwerks coming your way in a pizza box very soon. Make sure you check out the add ons for the POTP October Kit - they'll be up in the store very soon.

We had another very successful online crop at Pick of the Patch during the weekend of August 17^th to 19^th.  At this crop we had a contest where the participants could pick their favourite layout completed during the crop and nominate themselves for consideration.  The DT, Sandra, Kate and Mary looked at all the nominations and chose a top 5.  The general membership then were able to vote for the winner of the contest.  The winner of the August online crop Cream of the Crop Contest is Lacintha Naidoo with her beautiful layout title “Boobytrap”.  Congratulations Lacintha!

It's Rest, Revive & Reward Month in the Patch!

Can you believe that it's August already? This summer is going by way too quickly. As you know, there will be no monthly kit this month. But we are having a special Rest, Revive & Reward month for the entire month of August. Mary has set up a forum in the message boards for this event. Watch for lots of content for the whole month including:

Rest: Come hang out, take a break and chat. Don't forget to join us for our online crop from the 17th to 19th.

Revive: Dig out those old supplies and especially those old POTP monthly kits. Revive your mojo with some of our inspiring challenges.

Reward: Lots and lots of sales, some contests, and of course the online crop prizes. There may even be some RAKs up for grabs.

Have a great August everyone!
