Some very exciting news!!!

Ever since I started scrapbooking, I’ve always had a dream of owning my own store. I would drive by store fronts that are for lease and imagine having a scrapbooking store there.


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.
