It's a Sad Day - PBP is Closing After Almost 20 Years.

You've probably heard the news. After a couple of really emotional, sad days, lots of weighing the pros & cons with the other shop admin on our site (thanks, Jen!), and so many tears, I've decided to close the PBP Website. It's taken me until now, late Monday night, to even be able to put a newsletter together to send....So here goes:  After almost 20 years of being an important part of the digi world, PiCKLEBERRYPOP will close it's doors on June 10. What began as a scrapbook shop became something far bigger… a colorful little corner of the internet where friendships were formed, stories were preserved, and creativity flourished one page at a time. I am endlessly grateful to every designer, CT Member, memory-keeper and customer who made this community feel like home. While this chapter is coming to a close, the inspiration, laughter, and beautiful moments we created together will live on in every layout, every photo, and every heart touched along the way. Thank you for being part of the PiCKLEBERRYPOP story and for supporting my own designs for so many years. It's hard to believe that I first started designing in the Craft Industry when my last baby was just one year old. He's 35 years old with a family of his own, now...so that's quite a ride. It has meant more than words can say to be able to work doing something I love so much for such a long time. I'm really going to miss designing, miss this site and especially the people who made PBP such a special place in the digi world. ~ Fayette I turned 65 years old in April, and I think it's time for me to retire. (My family agrees!) I'm not quite sure what I'll do with all of my time....if I'm honest, i'm a little worried because I'm a work-a-holic by nature. But, ideas have started forming, and I'm sure I'll find my way forward and spend lots of time with kids & grandkids. So, if you're interested in getting any of my designs, now is the time. They will all be disabled on June 2, and will no longer be available for purchase. You will have until June 9 to download all current and previous purchases.  The PBP Site will be taken offline permanently on June 10, 2026. Thanks for taking this ride with me. It's been an amazing adventure. I can't close this chapter without thanking the amazing, creative team members that have made my designs shine over the years. A sincere thanks goes to Julie/Mother Bear and Janik. They have been my only two personal CT Members for years, and they dealt with my horrible deadlines and late releases and always made my designs look better than I ever thought they could. Thanks to the PBP CT, too, for always jumping in when I have a last minute release and creating such beautiful art with my designs. Here are just a few of my favorite layouts.
