The End of an Era

September 10th will mark the end of an era.

This day, with great sadness, marks the closing of my beloved scrapbook store.

I started working there days after turning 16, and now being 20, I am filled with sorrow to see it go.

That store holds my work family! People I laughed and cried with, people who share memories, who love on each other when times are tough.

I learned so much there and will never forget the many lessons, not only in the field of scrapbooking, but in life, that were instilled in me.

I will miss most my visits when I go back home... the doors may be forever closed, but the memories there will never be forgotten.
