I am one of three owners of a Scrapbook Store in Mesa, AZ called "A Scrappin' Affair". I am starting this blog today hoping that I can gain some insight about what "scrapbookers" are looking for in a local store. I also want to provide project ideas, new product information, sales and promotions and a place for general scrapbook related chatter!
Our Story... Barb, Carrie and I opened "A Scrappin' Affair" on 9/20/07. Everything was moving right along. Then at 3am on 12/20/07, we received a call that no store owner wants to receive! There was a 3 alarm fire at the strip mall where our store was located. Needless to say, our store was completely destroyed. However, we don't give up easily....we located another store on 12/25/07 that was for sale and made an offer. We closed escrow on 2/14/07 and re-opened "A Scrappin' Affair" on 2/15/07.
We love scrapbooking and the people that we have met in the store have now become extended family!
I would like to hear from you? What is your scrapbooking story? What things do you like/dislike about the last scrapbook store you were in?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Nichole.
