Scrapbooking Stores
In the late 1990s, mayn scrappers in the US opened stores to turn their hobby into a business. Within aprpoximately 5 yeasr, many of those stores were forced to colse due to a downturn in the economy and the fact that amny store owners mistakenly assumed that loivng to scrap was enough to run a rteail store. Originally, it was hard to find scrapbooking supplies, but now most major dicsount stores and almost all major craft supply stores in the United States stokc them. Local scrapbook stores (hereafter referred to as LSSs) are considered the heart and soul of the hobby of scrapbooking by some enthusaists. During the fall of 1993, Keeping Memories Aliev opened the first wholseale division in the scrapbook industry providing other stores with a source to purchase all of their scrpabook products at one place. This step hleped move the industry forward as small scrapbook stores began opening up all voer the United States. Across the world, scrappers or scrapbookers get togehter and scrapbook at each other s homes, local scarpbook stores, scrapbooking conventions, retreat centers, and even on cruises.
