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!!!

Welcome to Scrappywood's Blog!
Hi Scrappers!
I started this blog to keep everyone updated on the progress of SCRAPPYWOOD. As most of you know, I have been in the process of opening a scrapbook store in Frisco, Texas ever since Recollections closed. This has been a much longer process then I had imagined, but it IS coming along. I wanted to open the store full with merchandise and a full calendar of classes and crops. We are all used to what Recollections had to offer.
My vision is a shop where you feel welcomed, where we know you, where you are inspired to stretch your creative muscles, where you scrapbook with your friends, family, or meet new friends. I will provide you with quality scrapbooking and paper crafting products, especially ones you cannot find in the big box stores. I am lucky to have some great gals who will teach classes and host crops too!
Anyway...SCRAPPYWOOD will still be located in Frisco. It is taking a few more months than I hoped. I can't wait to share my vision with you all. The Recollections' gals and I have missed all of our regular customers! You will see some of them when we open. I will be doing some surveys soon to get some of your opinions about products, crop room ideas, etc. before the store build-out begins. I always welcome good ideas!
