To My Dear Friends and Customers I am writing this letter to you with very mixed emotions. After many prayers, thoughts and sleepless nights, I feel that God is directing my life in new directions. I have decided to sell the retail part of Scrapbooks By The Sea. Under no circumstances will the store close. I will continue to operate the business until there is a buyer or until I feel that God is telling me that I need to continue with the store. I will continue to operate, grow and expand the "retreat" portion of the business, as well as to take advantage of new opportunities that I have been presented with, not only in the scrapbooking industry, but with other organizations and businesses. Scrapbooks By The Sea was and still is my dream and my life. I love my business with a passion, but it is time to pass the dream on to someone else to enjoy and share their ideas and friendship with everyone. Most of you know that this past year has been extremely difficult for me as I have faced life and the many challenges that have come my way without Nick. I could never have survived without each and every one of you and your friendship and prayers. Please continue to pray for me and to pray that God will send the perfect "dreamer" into the store. If you or anyone that you know is interested in the business, you may contact Don Thomas at Vintage Estates Reality. His direct phone number is 843-240-2198 or toll free at (877) 237-5553. Stop by and visit next time you are "down by the sea". I love you all. Kim
