Scrapper's Friend Scrapbook Store CLOSING

Yes, Folks, we are closing. Our last STORE DAY is Sunday, Nov 23. We are open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please do stop by and avail of the great discounts. Here's an excerpt of the toughest newsletter we had to write to everyone in our email list:

"...I have to deliver news that I didn’t want to do, but all good things must come to an end and ours, reaching its mark. This is the last month our store, Scrapper’s Friend Scrapbook Store, will be open. Our lease ends on November 30th and our store’s last day will be on Sunday, November 23.

My top and utmost reason in finally throwing in the towel and closing the store is to get back to being healthy for my family. As most of you know, I’m diabetic and it’s been uncontrolled for several years now, worst the last year. I need to face my “monster” in the eye and beat it. I hope by slowing down that I can succeed in doing so. Please pray that I do.

Second reason is for my family. The kids are growing too fast. In fact, Alex is a HS Senior and he will be graduating at the end of the school year. I feel I’m missing out on them to the point where I don’t have enough pictures to play with! LOL!

There have been some of you asking me about the store closure, but have told you that we’re still deciding. The real answer should have been, I was still deciding. While Scrapper’s Friend had long decided to close when the lease is up, I was still undecided and trying to hold on as I was still having a ball with the store and playing with everyone.

I was desperately trying to make it work and looking at the numbers hoping that the store will eventually sustain itself, even tried to look for smaller locations. But with the economy going the way it is (third and final reason), I just can’t without stressing and putting my family’s finances in further jeopardy. But, I’m not giving up and will still continue with a website and attending events.

As most of you know, our store has actually two stores in it; Scrapper’s Friend owned by Estrella and Allen Wolfe, and Scrapbooks Hawaii owned by yours truly. We are going back to our roots, attending events and selling through our websites.

I’d like to thank everyone who supported our store and please avail of the discounts between now until our last store day on Sunday, November 23. We also hope that you continue supporting us and look forward to continue serving you as we go back selling through our websites and events."

Friends, we also still have 12x12 Paper Racks in 30, 12 and 10 slots that are for sale. These are great for home use to sort and organize your papers. We also have some 3 4-panel spinners and slatwall hooks available. These are great for cardmakers and crafters to hang your products occupying a small space during craft fairs and other events.

See you soon at the store!
