From Here to Eternity

"O.K., HELLO? Is this store happening or what, babe?" you might be asking. And yes, it HAS been a long time since I posted here. But the answer is YES. The store is still a go. Due to the way the market has been, it has taken a LONGER time than normal to go through this process. Knowing how many scrapbook stores have gone under recently and that 40% of small businesses fail in the first year, and over 80% in the first five years, I don't want to put the horse before the cart. I have learned a lot of what NOT to do in opening a business. So although it feels like eternity, I want to be careful as I start up. Everything is in a holding position right now as I wait for my final O.K. My husband said to someone yesterday that he can't believe how long I have had to stay the course, and he probably would have said "#&*%#" it if it was his project. My attitude is that at least I get a lot of preparation time to plan out the most perfect scrapbook store I can! Thank you all for being patient & supportive "pre"customers! You are awesome! And you better believe we will have a BIG party when we open!!!
