About Scrapbook Creations
One hot summer day in the middle of July, 2003, a friend of mine called and said that she had been thinking about opening a scrapbook store. Since I had been a scrapbook consultant with a major company several years earlier, she was interested in us forming a partnership. We soon found available retail sites in Jenks, the antique capitol of Oklahoma. Main Street Jenks is lined with many quaint shops and is a destination point for tourists antiquing and visiting the Oklahoma Aquarium. Jenks is a small town across the river from Tulsa. We talked it over with our husbands, looked online and visited other scrapbook stores when traveling with our sons' soccer team out of the city for games and tournaments, and signed a lease in August, 2003!! All of this happened so quickly! We immediately started purchasing merchandise from dozens of vendors and opened our doors on September 20, 2003! What a learning experience this has been! I went from a stay-at-home mom to working 6 days a week from bell to bell, overnight! Unfortunately, in mid-June 2004, I bought my partner out so she could stay home and take care of her new baby boy. Thankfully we parted friends, though we don't see each other so often anymore. I've made so many new friends I'd have otherwise not have made! It brings me great satisfaction to help people find the perfect item, or to demonstrate new products at a late night crop. Many requests have been made to have an online shop available off our brick and mortar store, thus, this site has been created. Recently however, I have made the decision to move most of my merchandise to another location ~ home! With God's blessing, I can continue to be successful! I try to remember to ask for His guidance and to thank Him for my success every day. Without Him, this would not be possible! Dana |
