Farewell to Faithful Scrapper store front......

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything.  It has been 3 years since I opened Faithful Scrapper.  I have meet so many wonderful people and have been able to use the shop to minister to woman.  Through the 3 years that I have been open we have had crops, birthday parties, sewing lessons, bible study, and even some counseling sessions.  Me & my husband adopted a little boy so our family has grown & life has changed.

My landlord at the beginning of this year said they really wanted to sell the building.  I was still not in a financial situation to purchase the building.  I had been struggling financially to keep the doors open.  The end of May I got a call from my landlord saying they had a potential buyer.  Well that turned into them buying the building & me moving out all in about 3 weeks.  Things were very crazy & I was extremely stressed out.  Since the closing of the store I have moved my inventory to my home.  Set up my office & sewing room.  I will continue to do business from my home.  I have had lots of custom order scrapbooks & sewing & embroidery orders.  I will keep the name & continue to do business but from a different location.  Whitworth Ranch Retreat whitworth-ranch-retreat.comin Scurry, TX has allowed me to keep some basic scrapbook supplies for sale at their location.  We will also be able to crop at the Ranch as well.  I can still order product & customers can still contact me for supplies.  You can shop on-line at Product Performers productperformers.com but you will have to contact me to order.

So I am waiting for God to open the next door & show me what I'm suppose to be doing.  I am working 2 days a week at Still Waters in Kaufman.  We are a crisis center for woman.  Maybe in a couple of years when our son starts school I could look at opening another store front.  Who knows.....well God does.  

Thank you all for all your support over the last 3 years.  I have had the best customers & have made great new friendships.  I will cherish the memories that the shop has brought to me & so many others.
