Exciting News to share...

Here is a quote this week that definitely applies to my life in this moment!

"look for the dream that keeps coming back. it is your destiny."

I love what I do, and I truly hope it shows, I find such reward in discussing your projects, your triumphs, your struggles, your goals whether they are scrapbooking or personal...so many great things, sharing ideas, sharing inspiration....I am truly living my dream:-) and I want to thank you all for that! 

I believe in God and Jesus is Lord of my life, and I believe so strongly that he is in control of my life and has blessed me with a great opportunity to serve you all while I serve him...this being said he has provided an AMAZING Opportunity for the store that I want to share with you tonight!!!

Yep, this is me holding the key to the NEW Scrapbook Cottage store!!!!

The store will have a new home with our Grand Opening being Oct 1, 2011.

We have purchased a building for the store and will be moving to 363 Main Street in Steinbach:-)

So here is the deal, we currently lease a space, the lease is up on Sept 30th, even though we moved to this current space back in Dec, I still found the size challenging - ESPECIALLY when we offer classes. The classes are full, and when there is a class, it is quite difficult for the regular customer to wander around the store and enjoy their shopping experience.

So we (my wonderful and supportive hubby Mark & I) looked at this space back in June, and then just discussed it and prayed about it for the summer, we just really wanted to make sure it was the right thing to do.

We took possession of the store today, and I FEEL WONDERFUL about the decision, and I am sooo excited to share this next phase of this journey with you all!!

 

Here are some pics of the outside, as of today -  

 ugly right:-)

the painter will take care of that starting tomorrow!!

Here are some pics of the inside as of today - 

 I checked in at the end of the day and it already looked different (KP Projects got to working as soon as I showed up with that key!!)...I am so excited to share these pictures with you and I will post more as the month goes on...

Thanks to you, all my loyal Scrapbooking friends & Customers, because of you, the great things you say about the store, the awesome way to tell others about The Scrapbook Cottage, we can take the store from where it is now to this whole new place! I will share more with you in the weeks to come!

I am so inspired by you all - Thank you!!
