Remember to enter your Scavenger Hunt answers and submit your card for Design Challenge 7! Our next featured store is Pad to Paper.
Pad to Paper is located in Hilmar, California - right in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. They officially opened their doors on October 7, 2006 with a grand opening celebration two weeks later.
The store is located in the old post office building on the main street of this dairy farming community. They have approximately 1500 sq ft, which includes a classroom and office space. There are three partners involved in the store and they handle everything from ordering, to stocking, to teaching classes.
Pad to Paper started as a long-time dream for two of the partners, Beth and Denise, who have been stamping for many years. The third partner, Diann, started stamping a couple of years ago, and was excited to become a part of this dream. The name for the store - Pad to Paper - came from Beth's nephew who gives everyone a hard time about stamping "What's so hard about that?, he said, It's just pad to paper". When they decided to open the store, coming up with the name was the easy part!!
The store is packed with lots of stamps (A Muse, Hero Arts, Rubber Soul, Paper Inspirations, Inkadinkadoo and others) and a large selection of papers from World Win, Bo Bunny, Cosmo Cricket, Polar Express, Scrappy Cake, etc. They also have a whole room packed full of embellishments for scrapbook pages, cards and other paper craft projects.
Pad to Paper customers come from all over the area and they've been told that they are "providing therapy and changing lives," but most importantly, their customers are having fun!!
They have a full week of events planned for A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA, leading up to a Friday night VIP event and a weekend full of A Muse cards classes and specials. Be sure to check their web page (www.padtopaper4.com) for updates. This promises to be a fun event for everyone!
