Treasure Hunt

Every year Whim So Doodle gets together with all the other scrapbooking and rubber stamping stores in the TB area to put on a "Treasure Hunt". This year it was a total of 12 stores that participated. We sell totes to our customers and they have 10 days to run around and visit all the stores to win some fantastic prizes! This year the grand prize is a $100 GC to each store-which totals up to $1,200 in scrapbooking booty! Each store provides a small craft project for each person, a special treat and they usually have a photo-op spot set up in a pirate theme. This year we hired a painter to create our backdrop and it was perfect. This is a photo of one of my favorite groups of people-The Bradenton Girls! They are a hoot-an-a-half when they come in! They were all dressed in pink and looked super cute! Some of them went on our train trip last year and I have been really sad knowing that they couldn't be there this year for that! Really gonna miss them and their special brand of fun...
Today is the last day of the hunt. All the stores together sold 1,000 totes and as of last Sunday we had already seen over half visit our store-all those in just the first three days! Needless to say we Doodle Divas are tired puppys! I want to spend the whole day sleeping. Not gonna happen-errands and chores are calling my name!
