Krista,
I just wanted to let you know that we stopped by the store yesterday and Connie was a great help. We came in and as usual....we stayed for quite some time. We didn't even know that the store closed at 2:00....it was 2:45 and Connie had not said a word.
We told her she should have told us & of course she said no. Then she showed us some class projects that had been finished, new products, how some things worked, etc. I don't think we left until almost 3:30. You are very lucky to have her as an employee - she is great.
Once again, our spur of the moment trip to your store was fabulous. We keep coming back because we always learn something new and are treated like old friends.
Shirley and I brought down her son's girlfriend and now she is hooked. We can't wait to see when the Cricut class(es) will be offered. We are planning to bring a couple of more avid scrapbookers!!!
Planning on seeing you soon & hope that this finds you and your family doing well!

Hi Krista.
Just a short email to tell you again how much I enjoyed the watercolor class yesterday. I came home and worked on a couple of things yesterday afternoon and had a blast!! I've got a LONG way to go to get it perfected, but it's something new and fun!!
Thanks again!

Hello Krista!
My name is Kathy Allwood and I am scrapper in Carrollton, MO. Last summer, my boyfriend and I went to Branson and went into your store. What a scrappers haven! Recently, I came across your business card in my purse. I know, I need to go through my business cards more often! I've been working on Prom and High School Graduation and I am looking for fresh ideas for my son's book. Which I found, with your free
monthly projects, just going to change it up. Thanks for the help!
Looking forward to receiving your newsletter!
Sincerely,
Kathy

Hello Krista!
First of all, let me tell you that I had the pleasure of stopping by your store for the first time on Memorial weekend and was totally amazed and thrilled by what I found there. I had been told by some of my friends that you had an awesome store but I was not prepared for what I found when I walked in. Oh my goodness, I could have spent days in there!
Even my husband enjoyed coming in and talking to your husband about drag racing, while he waited. That made his experience a lot less painful! LOL I can't wait to come back and meet you on my next visit, which will be soon!
I'm looking forward to meeting you on my next visit!
Thanks!

I have sent many of my friends to your store and what is funny is that I haven't been there MYSELF YET! I found your store on the internet by doing a "search". Well everyone loves your store and I finally get the chance August 16th! Can't wait! Do you think you will ever start mail order??

Hopefully, when I come back, I can actually spend more time in your store as I wanted to! At least I did get to see the new and improved store! So many wonderful things!
I appreciate all the time you spent with me to show me the techniques I asked you about! You are very patient and you explain things so well!
Have a great week and I hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Judy

Krista,
Thank you so much! I truly enjoy visiting your store, it’s so packed with goodies I feel like I’m on a treasure hunt when I’m there.

Dear Krista, I sure wish I was closer to your shop. I do enjoy getting your newsletter and class schedule, it keeps me up on what's new. Every Nov. I really enjoy my annual visit to your store, it's a highlight of my journey from Wis. to the south for the winter. I get new products and ideas to keep me and others busy during the winter, as I teach crafts and card making in our park in TX. Of course I would be happy if we ONLY made cards but some others like the crafts instead. This last winter I purchased almost the complete line of border punches and their holder among many other things. I am enjoying them very much.
I also purchased a Staz-on ink pad for stamping on plastic but I forgot to buy the extra ink bottle to refill the pad. I looked for it several other places like Michael's and Hobby Lobby but did not find any extra ink. Do you have any and if you do ----do you mail-out any orders? Oh I also forgot to tell you that I loved the additions to your store---and I enjoyed your help while I was there several times in my 3-4 day visit to Branson. Your store is better than any show there for me! Keep up the good work. Thank-you
for everything---------------from Barb Kulka

Krista,
Hello, it's LaTisha Wooten!! I visited your store last fall for the first time with my mom. We enjoyed seeing all of your great selections and of course your personality!!We were the ones that just absolutely loved the miniature witch shoes!!!
I absolutely loved the way I felt when I came into your store and that's what I think my scrapbookers deserve to have while enjoying their retreat.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you!!

Hello,
Your store is great! You carry things that I cannot find at other stores in the Springfield area. Please send me your newsletter. Thank you for your trouble.
Sharon Bough
Thank you. My daughter and I were talking the other day and decided it was time to make another trip to Branson. Of course, we have to visit your store. Maybe I will see you soon.
Thanks again for the info.

Hi Krista,
I am very excited about the Monday classes you are offering. I am interested in the following and have them marked off in my calendar in anticipation of being accepted:
I truly loved your store and look forward to spending some lengthy time exploring all the products you have.
Creatively Yours, Nina
It appeared that you had limited space for workshops, so I wanted to make sure I got my reservation in early.
Dear Scrapbooks Forever,
Me and my family were in Branson on Easter weekend this year. My twin sister and I visited your store, much to our delight! I can honestly say that I have never seen or been in a scrapbook store quite like yours. It is gorgeous!! You have so much beautiful stuff but it is arranged extremely well and easy to find. Everything is so organized and well presented. I think that I could spend an entire day shopping in your store!
Your husband and daughter were working behind the counter that day. My twin sister found a girl's softball scrapbook and was so excited but, you only had one (and she has two daughers who live, breath, eat and sleep softball). Your husband did not hesitate one second, he graciously offered to order her another scrapbook and ship it to her in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! I couldn't believe it. It is so hard to find customer service like that anymore. I am so impressed.
My twin sister and I are planning another trip to Branson in December (for our birthday). Our main priorities for that trip are seeing the Osmonds and visiting your store (again). I look forward to shopping with you then.
Keep up the excellent work and God bless you all!
Sincerely,
Kerri Barker

P.S. Ever consider opening a branch store in Kansas City or, better yet, Topeka? :)
Good Afternoon Krista,
I received my Cuttlebug templates today and appreciate how you remembered to send them to me. I realize you are extremely busy but remembering the customers needs is why you are number one in my book.
Thank you and have a Great Easter.

Krista,
We visited your store for the first time yesterday. Oh my... where have you been all our lives?!!!!!!! I can't believe we hadn't known you were there. Oh well.. better late than never, and oh yes... we will be back. Lots!!!
We had a great time, and you have a wonderful store with lots to offer! Thank you so much!!
Anita
We were in Branson recently for the first time and I had to stop at The Scrapbook Store! I just saw your tear bear creation on Scrapbooking classes yahoo group and this reminded me of how much I enjoyed shopping with you and how helpful you were even though the store was fairly crowded that day. Thanks for the newsletter link, I am sure I will enjoy this!
Lea
My sister and I had the enormous pleasure of visiting your store on Saturday, June 23.
I am from St. Louis, and try to find scrap stores wherever we travel, and Scrapbooks Forever is by far the best scrapbook store I have ever seen.
I especially liked the Branson-specific papers and die cuts. And what a selection of papers!
If I lived closer I would be in real trouble. I am telling my friends to make your store a Branson destination, right up there with Silver Dollar City and the Landing!
The clerk that Saturday was delightful, too. She really knew her stuff.
It may be next summer, but I will be back.
Sincerely,
Andrea L. Banks
Hello, my name is LaTisha Wooten. My mother and I visited your store for the first time on Sunday and we just couldn't believe how wonderful it was!! The selection you have is fantastic, and your personality was tops!!!!!!

We made our first visit to Branson October 3-8 and were so excited to see a "Scrapbook Store"! All four of us gather lots of paper and cut-out to document our Branson trip. Your staff was sooooo friendly and your store was awsome. You're right, little on the outside, BIG on the inside. Lots of great ideas; I have put your website on my "favorites" and subscribed to your newsletter. Thanks for all your help and hopefully, we will be visiting you again.

Hi, Krista, I just want to tell you that Glenda and I really enjoyed your store while we were in Branson. Also your friendliness. I hope you got to make the accordian book that I gave you the pattern for. It is a fun book to make. again thanks for being so friendly. We will come in again the next time we are in Branson. Hopefully soon.
Thanks
Carol Timberman
Thanks so much Krista,
We both love how you have transformed the store. We were elated to see how busy you were when we came in. Everytime we come back, it's busier and busier and we couldn't possibly be more thrilled for you! We have been there with retail in Branson and it's certainly not easy and you have really done an exceptional job. Everytime we visit my parents, they automatically know we will be coming by. Hee! Hee!
Thanks again for updating me. Jill and I can't wait to come back again!
Bobby Hardgrave
Hi, I was in your store over the weekend (it was close to closing on Sat evening and I had two children with me whom you gave Halloween stickers and candy) and was so impressed with your store and hospitality. You have such a huge selection.
I will be signing up for your newsletter.
Jessica Bowne
Thank you so much for your timely response!!! It was so great visiting with you, we just went on and on about your personality!
After talking to some friends that had visited your store, we all had the same wonderful things to say. Thank you for raising the bar when it comes to selections, quality and personality. That all makes a big difference when visiting a store such as yours!
Thank you again!!
LaTisha Wooten
Dear Krista,
Your plans sound so exciting! We will be back in the spring and hopefully much of the new goodies will be there.
I have seen the brass embossing templates, but what exactly are embossing papers? I though you could just use any paper to emboss with the stencils.
I would like to see you get the collage sheets with multiple graphics related to a particular subject. I have seen these online before and used one gorgeous one in my Mardi Gras scrapbook. It featured images from century old Mardi Gras celebrations! The website is B-Muse, if you want to check what I mean-and I would certainly rather buy from you!
I also hope that you get your products available online this year so I can buy from you year-round instead of just twice a year-ha!
My friends and relatives really seemed to like the Christmas cards I made with the liquid applique "snow" and I hope you will carry that in other colors as well.
Let's see, what else....I love handmade papers, mulberry papers, papers with flowers, seeds, etc. imbedded. Will you every carry these? I love using them on greeting cards. I have all the materials to make my own papers, but just haven't done it when I know my efforts would probably not be the best-ha!
I am glad you had a great holiday season. It looks like great things are in store for you this year and for us as your lucky customers!
Thanks,
Judy in Arkansas
