Yay! This is so exciting! I just checked the kit pics and I started in Nov 2005! I've always loved getting your kits, especially as our local sb store has gone out of business years ago. Thank you Erica, Larry and the Gang! You've done a great job over the years!

100 Kits! Congrats!! I found you right after I had my little one in 2008. I was on maternaty leave and wanted to find a cute afordable kit club to join. My first kit was February 2008 and that is still one of my most favorites! Some of my favorite moments we have had together have been the challenges and the games (PS Survivor...whoop whoop, Weekly Challenges, 52 Weeks) I LOVE the crops they help me stay motivated, the inspiration brought in from other members both personally and crafty...amazing. I love love love PersonalScrapper. I think my favorite part though is the people that I have become friends with it has been so fun to get to know them through our pages. Learning about each others lives has been very enriching. Looking forward to a month of celebrations!

What can I say, Personal Scrapper is the best! There is a reason you've lasted this long! I appreciate the time put into making each kit versatile and affordable while also keeping up with the current lines, as I no longer have a local scrap store either. I've been a die hard member since 2007, but only started enjoying the online community a couple years ago. There is so much inspiration to be found there through crops and challenges!! Thanks for everything, Erica; hoping for many more kits to come!! :)

Erica...
You went with your dream and you proved that it wasn't just about having a business but changing lives. You certainly have changed mine and my garage too. :)

You have worked so hard over the years and I've seen your success first hand. I am so proud of your great accomplishments.

Love,
DH (AKA HL)

Congratulations! I have know about Personal Scrapper since 2004. I joined in April. The kit was SEI Winnie Walls, and I loved it and was hooked

Congrats Erica! I found out about PS in April 2007 at the St. Louis CKC, I was at the crop and heard if I signed up for 6 months I could get a free kit...I signed up and my friend asked me "what are you going to do with all that stuff". I told her I wanted the free kit, she told me I was crazy to sign up for the free kit. I told her I would drop out in 6 months....well, its been over 5 years and I can actually I say I have LOVED every kit! But more then that I LOVE the message board, love the online crops, love the awesome scrappers that have inspired me as I have grown with my scrappy style! It is MUCH more then a kit club, it is a group of friends to laugh with, crop with and have fun with! Thanks for motivating me to start on my 7th album since I started with PS kits 5 years ago!

Sheila Mayden said...

My first kit was December 2007, I think.

I love everything Personal Scrapper....the kits, the boards, the crops, the friends and most of all the founder.

Let's shoot for another 100!

Congratulations!

Lydia said...

Congrats to the whole PersonalScrapper Family! 100 Kits is not an easy accomplishment. I have been subscribing kits since late 2006 and I LOVE each and every kit and I love chatting with you everyone on the board. I also have to say the kits are great deal and prevented me from spending a whole lot of money at the big box stores!!

Congratulations on the100th kit!

I've been a member since 2006. I was introduced to PS by Dawn, Addie and Kris at the convention at Seven Feathers. That's when Debi and I joined.

I love that everything in the kit goes together.
I love the friendships that have developed over the years!!

Thank you Erica and the rest of the PS team for creating unbelievable kits every month.

Congratulations on 100 wonderful kits. You have put so much into your business and I am so happy for you that you are the only kit club to hit 100. I have participated in many crops over the last few years and really enjoy seeing everyone's inspiration. Keep up the good work and Thank You for helping me to preserve my memories for my family.

Melanie said...

Congratulations Erica! I joined in 2006 right after I had my son. I joined PS because it fit my scrapping style plus it was in my budget :)

Carly said...

I think my first kit was Nov 2007. I met Erica at CKC Bellevue and was excited about getting past kits for cheap if I signed up! Never thought I would have stuck around for even half the time, but PS makes it hard to stay away! I love how much current, trendy product we get for such little money, and the scrappy friendships will last a lifetime! Thanks for your constant inspiration!

Lynette Jacobs said...

Congratulations Erica and Larry...you have done awesome!!!! I for one are missing my monthly kits and don't know for how long I will be able to abstain from buying;-)

Kelly said...

Woohoo - 100 kits is amazing!!! Congratulations! I first heard about Personal Scrapper back in 2006 from my friend Tracy A. on a message board and loved the layouts she was making with the papers. After I found out she was receiving a monthly kit, I had to check it out and that is the rest of the story! :) LOVE PS kits!!!

April Hildebrandt said...

I joined with Carly in Nov 2007 at CKC in Seattle. Had to stop for a short time but missed the kits so I came back. I feel as if we have to same taste because I always love what you have chosen. You always pick the new paper lines and I brag about my kits constantly! We don't have any scrapbook stores in our town and I can't wait for the first of the month when my package arrives. Thank you!

Best of luck over the next 8 years and I hope you make it to 200 kits!

100 kits is so exciting - Congratulations!!! I don't remember how I heard about you. I have been and off and on subscriber for I think 4 years maybe? I love your kits because they are a great value, current papers and embellishments, and give me an idea sheet. And you, Erica, are such a nice person, very responsive to emails and quick to ship out {the times when I wasn't a member and bought a quick}. Cheers to you! and here's to many more kits :)

I've been a PS member since Nov 2005. Your kits are the best because they have the newest, coolest, hippest SB lines and embellishments. Thank you, thank you, thank you for continuing these awesome kits. To another 100.

Congrats on 100 kits!!! I don't remember how I first heard about PS, but my first kit was May 2005. Man, that's been a while! My favorite thing about PS has always been the message board and the people. What a great group! Thanks for bringing everyone together.

TrishaS said...

I started your kits almost 1.5 years ago. I LOVE them!! My good friend Addie gave me one for Christmas and had me hooked! Thank You for making scrapbooking easier and more fun. :)

Melanie said...

Way to go, Erica. 100 kits is fabulous! I'm thankful to have been a part of the Personal Scrapper journey. So happy to have been able to continue on through the tough economy and keep doing what you love to do :)

Congrats to you Erica & all of your helpers I love your kits! It has been so much fun to find your kits in the mail at the beginning of each month. They are so well put together, you truly have an eye for coordinating the kits we get each month~they are fun, current & come complete with great ideas & inspiration! It has been great to get to know you on the PS boards & even better to see you in person at the CK conventions. Keep on putting together those fantastic kits!!
