future of scrapbooking industry?

Well, just found out the other day that one of my favourite magazines is being dissolved. Simple scrapbooks will somehow become a part of Creative Keepsakes magazine, it's parent. I wonder how many people are out of work? Then, I read that Creative Memories has filed chapter 11 from its creditors. It is still business as usual for them but they will need increased sales levels for the next couple of years in order to dig out. Hmmmm. Also, overall sales figures for the industry are declining. Perhaps because of the economic crisis in States?

Anyway, sad to see that. I for one, plan to keep making scrapbooks so the industry doesn't need to worry where I'm concerned!
