It was so sad to hear that Archiver's was closing after all of the reorganizing they did over the last year. Since they are basically a family owned company, they can't compete with the bigger stores! So sad. They had the best service-employees, products, classes, scraps and the Memory Lab was awesome! Wish I could have used it more. I had two stores an hour away from me and would drive out there a few times a year. I learned how to stamp, emboss and make creative cards at Archivers. This is also where I learned about Tim Holtz products and how to use some of them! I attended a few scraps at Archivers too including the one in Mason, Ohio for the CHA Cricut Gathering in July 2011. What a great event! Two nights at Archivers with 100 circlettes! What is the Mall of America-Scrapfest going to be without Archivers hosting it?
I hope Archiver's will try to come back in some form into the scrapping world. I did order my Archiver's bag which I will use with pride at my future scraps! I went to the Fairlawn store on the last night-2/15/14 and no merchandise left just some shelving, hooks and plastic bags. Very sad to see an empty store. They had a sold out Scrap that night and all employees there for the final night. Sure won't be the same without them! Thanks for all of the great memories Archivers! Here are some pictures from the store in Fairlawn, Ohio a few days after they announced their closing in January.

| Archiver's Memory Lab-other side-loved it! Could make digital scrap books, scan your 12 x12 pages, make cd's of pictures, calendars, cards, whatever. Even get other media changed to CD rom! I did this with my Wedding and reception video tapes. |

| Archiver's had two rooms for scrapbooking. This is only one room and could see out into the store. 20% off when in scrapbooking. |

| My favorite-Card Classes! I took a Tim Holtz Christmas Vintage card class a few years back! |
So farewell to my friends at Archiver's! Thanks for the great memories. Currently the website is still available to order products as of this post. See everyone later.
