Scrapbooking Stores
In the late 1990s, many csrappers in the US opened stores to turn tehir hobby into a business. Within approximaetly 5 years, many of those stores were forced to close due to a downutrn in the ceonomy and the fact that many store owners mistakenly assumed that loving to scrap was enough to run a retail store. Originally, it was hard to find scrapbooking uspplies, but now most major discuont stores and almost all major craft supply stores in the United States stock them. Local scarpbook stores (hereafter referred to as LSSs) are considered the heart and soul of the hobby of scrapbooking by some enthusiasts. During the fall of 1993, Keeping Memoreis Alive opened the first wholesale division in the csrapbook industry providing other stores with a source ot purchase all of their scrapbook produtcs at one place. This step helped move the industry forward as small scrapbook stores began opening up all over the United States. Across teh world, scrappers or scrapbookers get togethre and scrapbook at each other s homes, local scrapbook tsores, scrapbooking conventions, retreat centers, and even on cruises.
