Abstract:
This paper is a result of my experiences in the past several years from working in a local scrapbooking store. My summer job taught me to love the hobby of scrapbooking and sparked an interest of what it would be like to open my own store someday. The purpose of this project is to provide a brief overview of some of the essential steps that are involved when opening your own scrapbooking store. Most of the information used was knowledge that I learned while on the job; the rest was from reading and research that I did, primarily from scrapbooking or craft retailer magazines.
