Dear smidapaper friends,

I’m wondering if all of you had the opportunity to take a little break from the everyday, whether for Easter weekend or ‘spring break.’ The thing about living in a tropical country is that the seasons are not defined. Well, in fact it’s either hot, or rainy. I did manage to do a spot of traveling and experience a little bit of cool weather, though. More importantly, I had the chance to catch up with family and friends, which was one of my goals for this year of semi retirement. To be sure there was a lot of photo taking and the task that lies ahead is to catch up with “Project Life” which is a week by week memory log of the entire year inspired by Ali Edwards. (Go to the modern Vintage blog for some peeks on the project)

The weekend store reopened after the break with a mini sale.Everything in the store, including new arrivals, is discounted with the following conditions:

any 3 items at 15% off, must be purchased in multiples of 3
any 5 patterned paper at 20% off, purchase in multiples of 5

(note : if you buy 3 patterned papers then a 15% discount will be applied)

 

 

We have also established a bargain corner, not just a trolley , but a whole section dedicated to not absolutely current but still totally awesome products. Here you will find deep bargains such as our RM5 for 3 pcs patterned paper racks, RM 5 items (some originally priced at RM45), these include rub ons, trims, sticker and die cut sheets and more. You might also want to look out for the 50% section, clear stamps, chipboard albums, ultra thick embossing powder and other goodies are sitting here waiting for a new home. Bargain corner items are replenished weekly so come by often. You never know what treasure you might unearth! (Note: this section is cash only)

Ah, treasure! To a crafter, new supplies are indeed a treasure and we’ve brought in some to delight. Look out for new product from Crate Paper, Amy Tangerine, Cosmo Cricket and Pink Paislee. Also random replenishments, distress inks and stuff like that. Remember, all new product comes under the 15% magic wand as well, in multiples of 3 and 20% for paper in multiples of 5.

I’ve re inserted our shopping days card, in case you’re new and forgotten how our store works or if you’ve forgotten which days we’re open. Stop by the store to pick up a shopping day postcard so you’ll always know when to shop at smidapaper.

One last thing! If you have a valid smidapaper stamp card you are now automatically entitled to a 10% discount every day until the end of May. And if you’re new, enjoy this privilege with a minimum RM50 purchase.

More updates soon! I am looking forward to seeing you at the store and to welcome you once again to the creative life.

See you soon!

smidapaper will be closed on Saturday 21 April.

Dear smidapaper friends,

As it comes closer to our last day at Straits Quay, which is on Nov 24th, I thought I might take a little time to update you on what will be happening. First though, I really must thank you all for making it a great year for us. I remember it being a time full of anticipation and hope, this time last year, flash forward a year and we are getting ready to pack up the store. A lot of you have asked ‘why?’ and all I can say is that we made the difficult decision based on a lot of reasons and while I prefer not to dwell on the negatives, there are some positives that came out of it and getting to know and serve all of you, has been a huge happy one. I hope that stumbling upon smidapaper has brought joy and added value to your journey.

By now you must be saying, ok, ok, get on with it, what happens to us? Well, not all the plans have been established at this point. In simple terms, I don’t know for sure if we will come back as a full fledged scrapbook store but I would like to introduce you to a new idea. ” Random SHOPPING DAYS! ” What that means is that we will open for a few days month , At A DIFFERENT LOCATION so that you can still get your supplies and carry on crafting , keeping your memories and making meaningful cards & gifts. These SHOPPING DAYS will not be fixed days but will be decided monthly and then Posted On Our Blog or sent to your e mail via SMIDA stories.

A week after we close, we will announce our SHOPPING DAYS for December, so check www.smidapaper.com for another update on December 1st. Ok, so that’s another smidapaper concept you will need to remember. “UPDATES ON THE BLOG! ”

So, two things to remember, ‘Shopping days ‘ and ‘updates on the blog’. In the meantime, there are still 4 more days to shop at our Straits Quay store and I know you will not want to miss the chance to gather some merry supplies for your holiday crafting . Thank you , thank you for all the kindness and encouragement. And for the inspiration. Don’t stop creating!

Till we meet again.

Sheila
