25% off SALE starts TODAY

25% OFF EVERYTHING STARTS NOW

These past two weeks have literally flown by, and it's hard to believe that we are just a week away from Thanksgiving. Are you ready for the holidays? I hope that this time of year finds all of you happy and healthy.

I have always loved Thankgiving. When we slow down to look at everything in our lives, we have so many things to be grateful for. I am thankful for the silly drawings that my daughter makes for me, the rocks that she gives me at the park because they're "pretty rocks", and I'm thankful for my strong marriage.

I am also sincerely grateful for all of the wonderful friendships that I have made through the store. I look forward to keeping in touch with you by email (abilenescrapbookjunkie@hotmail.com), running into you at the grocery store, and just getting together to scrapbook. I can't wait to get caught up!

Please Note: The store will be closed Wednesday and Thursday for Thanksgiving. We will be open on Friday morning with some great sales.


**Starting TODAY take 25% off of your total purchase (does not include fixtures).**

Please understand that we will ONLY be accepting cash from this point on. NO CHECKS OR CREDIT CARDS PLEASE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Also, please keep in mind that from this point on, ALL sales are FINAL. There will not be any refunds, exchanges, or store credits given. Everything will be first come first served, so if you are interested in supplies, fixtures, or both please come in soon.

Some of the equipment that we have for sale includes paper racks (free standing and ones that clip into pegboard/slatwall/gridwall), microwave, banquet style tables, chairs (2 left), sticker/ribbon baskets, waterfall hooks, gridwall panels, album/project displays, misc other hooks and fixtures, as well as a wide variety of hooks that work with pegboard/slatwall/gridwall (these also work great in the garage if you have covered your walls with pegboard or slatwall). We also have a fireproof 4 drawer filing cabinet for $350 (this cabinet is $900 +tax new), and a antique glass top desk for $300.

If you have been wanting to set up a craft/scrapbook room in your home, now is the chance to do so. We have plenty of great fixtures that will help you get organized.

Due to the stacks of fixtures/hooks in the classroom (and our concern for child safety), children will NOT be allowed in the classroom area. Thanks for understanding.

I wish you a wonderful Thankgiving holiday.

All of the store fixtures, including paper racks, are also for sale. Discount percentages will NOT apply to fixture prices. Fixtures will have to be paid for on a separate ticket from store merchandise. Most of the classroom equipment is not ready to be sold as of yet. I will let everyone know once I have had a chance to sort through all of it.

Please understand that we will ONLY be accepting cash and credit cards (with ID) as forms of payment starting Monday, November 6th. NO CHECKS PLEASE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We still have a number of Abilene High and Cooper photo albums available, as well as a few San Angelo Lakeview & Central photo albums. These will be gone forever once we sell out. We also still have some Basic Grey, Prima Flowers, and chipboard alphabets that all came in just last month. Now is the time to get these items, while they last! Everything will be first come first served, so if you are interested in supplies, fixtures, or both please come in soon.

Thanks for all of your kind words over the last several weeks. They are truly appreciated. It has been a wonderful 3+ years, and it is because of you.

October Update

Goodness, it is so hard to believe that we finally have some of that wonderful fall weather around Abilene. I am thrilled with the cooler temperatures, and hope that all of you are as well. I find that it is a welcomed change in our household. Along with the changing seasons we have some big changes for your local scrapbook store.

After a great deal of thought and contemplation, John and I have decided to sell/close the store. It was a tough conclusion to come to, but it’s certainly what is right for our family and for our future. We hope that you will understand.

Please know that we want the store to continue, and we sincerely hoped that we would find the perfect buyer that would have taken the store and made it their own unique version of Scrapbook Junkie. We have been looking for this person… Can you help?

I realize that many of you have always said how wonderful it would be to have your very own scrapbook store. If any of you are serious about this statement and have financial the means to do so, please contact me. There is still time if any of you are sincerely interested, but it’s becoming more limited.

Please understand that I will only be able to visit with and release information to serious individuals who will be able to purchase the store outright or qualify for a commercial/business loan through a bank. I will not owner-finance the business. Please keep this in mind, as this will keep things moving smoothly for everyone.

I would also like to ask as a courtesy not only to me but to my employees as well, that you please direct all questions to myself or John and not to our employees. John and I are the only two people that will be able to answer questions about the business. Please also understand that I will not discuss business issues over the phone or in person, during business hours when I am running the store. We are flexible, and will make appointments with you to discuss the business privately if you are seriously interested.

We sincerely appreciate your consideration on this matter.

** Please Note:

Scrapbook Junkie will accept gift certificates and fully completed punch cards until WEDNESDAY October 18th. After Wednesday, we will NO LONGER accept gift certificates or completed punch cards in the store. Please come in now if you have either that you would like to redeem.

We are considering putting in one final order for our custom high school products (depending on the number of orders that we receive). If there is a high school product that you would like to have (scrapbook, photo album, frames, or refills), please come in and pre-pay for your item(s). We will not order anything that is not pre-paid. You will have until Thursday, October 19th to submit and pay for your order in the store. All custom orders will be full retail price, and $15 punch card discounts cannot be applied to this custom order amount.

Please know that if there is something that you have been wanting, now is the time to get it. We will not be re-ordering anything that is in the store. Should we find a buyer, it will be up to them to determine what is re-stocked and which new lines brought in once they have taken ownership of the store.

Please watch for email updates, and updates on our blog about the store.

We have sincerely enjoyed each and every one of you… our wonderful customers. I have laughed at your silly/fun layouts, cried with the sad ones, and have learned so much from everyone these last three and a half years. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, even if it was just being “the scrapbook lady”… it has been an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Sincerely,
Summer
