a little worried...

The scrapbooking industry is taking a dive. Many companies including Recollections is going out of business. It has spread through our store like wildfire. I don't want to go into to much detail about the store I work at, but that there is cause for concern. Although it may help in some aspect that some business may generate from that. We are hopeful for a busy holiday season. We have a lot really cute projects and ideas that we are working on for the store. It seems the layout trend is dying. Most people are wanting projects and things for their home. Which is understandable. I have taken the same route myself. It's easier to make small books for people and gifts that people can use.

Scrapbooking takes different trends every year. The magazine industry has changed. That seems to be affecting the lack of actual "scrapbooking".
I know for many of you who read this are wondering what on earth I'm talking about. There is a sense of change and as of now, I'm not sure if it's good or bad. It's too soon to tell, I hope it's good, cause we need a house!! Otherwise I am hoping some other options become available.
