The End of an Era

The recent news that Remember Me Scrapbooking will be closing down shortly is certainly sad news indeed.

Due to health issues, Dianna has decided to close down to focus her energies on herself and her family. I can understand completely where she is coming from.

Just a few thoughts on things that I will miss and memories about Remember Me:
  • the staff - they make it feel like family
  • Friday night Free-4-All crops at the store with all the people in the Scrap Loft
  • 30-hour crops - you sort of get real silly in the middle of the night with Dianna
  • teaching classes at the store
  • taking my son into the store when he was young for him to pick out some paper and spending the next hour happlily playing with the die cut machines. Dianna would ask him how much he had spent that day and he would pipe up with something like "$2.93" and he was usually right on the money.
  • the people who I have met at the store who have now become good friends - including the staff

All, in all, it is hard to believe that I have going to the store for nine years - the store has been my escape, my estrogen-fix in my testosterone laden world.

My skills as a scrapbooker have grown considerably during those years - from rank beginner to teaching at the store.

I want to thank Dianna for those years and the fun that we have had along the way. Take care of yourself and I will be thinking of you lots. See you in Scrabulous!

Happy Scrapping!
