Starting A New - Existing Business

Starting a new business brings joy, excitement, and yes, a bit of anxiety too. We decided to start a blog so you can share in our journey as the "new" Scrapbook Store evolves.  As time passes, we will be slowly adding to the sidebars to reveal pictures and surprises.  We have many new and fresh ideas, we can hardly think of which to start first!

For those that do not know, we decided to purchase the Scrapbook Store, since the original owner decided to retire after 14 years of business.  Many people have asked us why we are keeping the "old" name, which admittedly is not very original, but, we decided to keep it because of the longevity of the store and it's history as one of the original scrapbook stores in the Midwest, and, of course there is the Google factor.  Who do you think pops up first when Scrapbook Stores in Wisconsin is typed into that little bar???  You guessed it!!  So, the Scrapbook Store it is!!

While we plan to keep much the same, we will also be focusing on events, classes and krops.  There are other goodies in store that we can't reveal yet, but feel free to stop back any time for updates. 

We hope to post all the trials, mishaps, and hopefully much success in our journey.

Check back and please feel free to share your comments and advice!

I'll leave you today with a couple funzies you might see at our new store; 

Here's the outside address - 4466 South 108th Street!!!
