DENA’S
SCRAPPER DOG’S BLOG
APRIL 2010



Easter is nearly here and I haven’t finished my cards yet.  What am I going to do?

Since I usually have to solve my own problems a thought came to mind - I’ll take a quick trip to my favourite crafty store 
and see if I can buy some ready made cards.  That way I’ll still be sending handmade cards but not made by me.  
 No one will ever know as I’ll attach a little sticker to the back showing “made by Basset Dena”!  What’s a little white lie now and then…

I arrived at the store and the parking lot was completely full – how unusual but one of the other stores may have a sale on, 
so I thought!  I finally found a parking space - four blocks away.  Once I entered the store I couldn’t believe my eyes! 
 It was a scrapper’s delight – sales and more sales. The worst part is that I wasn’t notified in advance of this shop till you drop event!  
Something this Basset will look into…

Amongst the crowds there was entertainment galore, including Beader Bob warbling a romantic ballad entitled ”Beads or You” 
which kept the customers in awe.  He then changed the pace and encouraged everyone to join in with his rendition of a sing along – 
“Bead Along With Me”.  I was then caught up in the mood and put my inhibitions aside and joined in.  Unfortunately my drooly 
Basset howls didn’t go over well so I was asked to sit down.   Sob…   I soon came round when I was given a 50% store coupon
 for my attempted sing song!  After the music finished I ventured over to another gathering where Sand-Drah and San-Deee were 
doing a “card-a-thon” – a competition to see who could make the most cards in a limited time.  Sand-Drah was in the lead much to 
the dismay of San-Deee!   May the best person win!  ...arf…arf…

I then checked out a group of mesmerized customers quietly listening to a gorgeous hunk giving a talk on scrapbooking. 
  It appeared most of them were all gaga over this mature gent with the big brown eyes and soft voice.  My interest had now 
peaked and I had to see who it was – I finally did and recognized him – it was Basset Giorgio - a well known gigolo from the 
scrapbook circuit.   Scrapper ladies beware… I should know!

As the sale wound down I hurried to complete the numerous contest forms.  There was one in particular I wanted to win and 
that was a “dinner date” with Beader Bob.   Since there was no limit on the entries I grabbed the entire stack of entry forms and 
completed them all.  It took me nearly an hour but it was well worth the effort especially if I win. Wish me luck!
