Well, my dream has now come true. I have recently purchased all the fixtures from The Scrapping Nook Inc and have opened a new store – Scrapping Nook Ltd.
Despite the minor name change, there will only be a few noticeable differences:
Location:
- 301 Thorold Rd., Unit 3A, Welland, Ontario
 - Located at the corner of Thorold Rd. and Prince Charles. It is in the same plaza as the new Shell gas station
 
Anticipated Opening Date: 
- January 9th, 2010
 - If possible, we may open earlier
 - Gift Certificates are available for purchase at any time.
 
 New hours: 
- Tues, Wed, Fri & Sat – 10am – 5pm
 - Thurs – 10 – 7pm
 - Closed: Sun & Mon
 - Online: 7/24/365
 
 Staff: 
- I am happy to announce that Tara Etling will be joining the Nook team to manage the store on my behalf
 - Margo Shute will also be working part-time to assist Tara as well as back-fill when Tara is unavailable to work
 
 Online website/store (http://www.thescrappingnook.ca/): 
- The online store and the existing website will remain in place
 - I am looking into an inventory control system so that your future online shopping experience will be an even more positive one
 
 Classes: 
- Tara’s Monthly Card and Layout classes will continue
 - The Copic Club will also continue
 
 To start off, our design team will be: 
- Jen Backler
 - Karen Thompson
 - Jillian Anger
 - Heather Goodes (her focus will be on cards/copics)
 
 Be sure to stay tuned for some exiting ‘Grand Opening’ specials (Date TBD): 
 • Online weekend crop with some fun challenges and games, as well as great prizes 
 • Free Make & Takes in the store 
 • In store draws and games
 I want to thank Patti and Elia for all that they did over the past 7 years to make the Scrapping Nook community what it is. They have put a lot of love and time into creating this wonderful community that I have been honoured to be a part of. I wouldn’t be taking on this exciting adventure if it wasn’t for them. 
I hope that you will join us as we celebrate the opening of the Nook. We look forward to continuing to provide you with all your scrapbooking needs – or wants - in the coming years.
