This month we're celebrating 28 years in business! Can you believe it?! 

We sure have come a long way! I don't think I have any photos of how we started in our basement, but here are some from our very first building on Gratiot road. We were known as Stickers Galore back then!












That's my sister Sarah! Look how little she was




There's my brother Brandon on the computer! And a couple cousins sitting by him. 




Mom in her office







And here's our building now

Wish our mom was here to see that her legacy is still going!

Soooo happy I found this special place! so glad to have all of you who have worked so hard to continue your mom’s dream and grow the business and MB in all the fantastic ways you have! We 🩷 you all!

Such great pictures. I'm sure your mom is so very proud of all her company has become. You have built more than a scrapbook supply store, you created a place where creativity blooms and friendships are made. That's special.

Congratualtions! And thank you so much for sharing those awesome photos with us! Your mom would be SO PROUD of you all how you have continued her legacy! I have been on the MB since 2008. I was shopping here long before that and one day during a crop I decided to take a chance and joined the message boards. That was no small feat for this shy girl. From day one I was never uncomfortable here and have loved this community. I have met friends and grown scrappy-wise. And yes I have shopped! A LOT! LOL! This is an amazing place and I am here every single day. Thank you for continuing your mom's legacy with this wonderful place that she created! And congratulations on 28 years!!
