This is my 1st blog!! At least my 1st non-MySpace blog. I'm Kim & I own Kim's Scrap & Crop in Denton, TX. We opened on January 19, 2008, but we have been working and planning for over a year before that. Most of my background is in sales (either retail or wholesale), but just before I opened the store I was a claims adjuster. I know! Yuck! It's pretty sad when owning your own business is less stressful than your last job. I have always wanted to own my own business, it was just a matter of figuring out what kind of business. They say to find what you love & make that your job. Well, I love to scrapbook and there was not a scrapbook store/crop room in Denton so here we are! The picture is of our sign at night. It's big, it's bright & it's been our best advertisement!
I try to carry things that you won't find at the big box stores. After my last trip to HL, I found a few duplicates, but for the most part I have different things. My newest addition has been Creative Imaginations. Their self adhesive paper lace has flown off the shelves! I only bought 2 different colors to see how it sold and I am down to 1. I will be ordering more soon! I have also ordered Autumn Leaves stamps. I can't wait to get the journaling and flourish stamps in! I recently received an assortment of Hanna Stamps as well. Cute, Cute, Cute!! One of my favorite brands right now is Best Creations. They have some WONDERFUL glitter paper for only 99cents! You can't beat that price for glitter paper! And they have these adorable metal rimmed sticker tags. Just way to cute! Since we do have a Michale's and Hobby Lobby in Denton I try to stay away from some of the bigger items that you can just go there & buy with the coupon. If there is something bigger that you are looking for & can't find, just ask me. I have a wonderful distributor that I can get all sorts of goodies from and I would be very happy to place a special order for you.
Our next class will be Saturday, April 12th from 1 -3pm. Cost is $20. We will be making this adorable license plate wall hanging to show off your favorite photos! Peggy will be teaching this class. All you need to bring is some adhesive and scissors.
Mark your calendar for National Scrapbooking Day on Saturday, May 3rd. It will be here before you know it & we are having a luau! So dig out your grass skirt & join us for goody bags, contests, food & fun! Lunch & dinner will be provided.
Hope ya'll have a scrappy week!
