This is the e-mail I received from Ashburn Family Scrapbooking:
AFSC has had FIVE wonderful years of crafting with all of you and there are some special things we would like to share.
Our Sale-a-bration was a blast and 15 lucky ducks went home with great raffle prizes from Technique Tuesday and My Minds Eye. Many girls took the time to crop during our sale which is all ways a good time due to the crazy savings.
AFSC has this anniversary sale every year in order to make room for the new product from the Craft and Hobby Show in February. The goodies usually begin arrival in late March.
However,....
We have been SO BUSY in the past year that is nearly impossible to keep up with all the classes, events and exciting things there are to do! Oppertunity has come knocking on our door recently and our friendly neighboorhood store has been sold to an out of state store! Therefore, allthough March will be filled with classes and crops our doors will close March 31st.
So,...
Given that bit of news, PLEASE: redeem your gift certificates if you were lucky enough to get one. PLEASE: Use your store credits. PLEASE: be aware that purchases from now on will be non-returnable. and PLEASE stop by to say hello and farewell.
It's been a great five years, thank you!
Kely and Peter Davis and
the AFSC Staff
Heartbreaking, isn't it? Another store in the NoVa area closing down. This is your gentle reminder to shop the local stores before you hit the big box stores.
