Do any of these numbers surprise you? Are any of them much higher or lower than you anticipated? Are you doing YOUR part to help increase those numbers in your area? If not, well, hop to it!!
It's fun to imagine that many paper crafters out there, isn't it?? It's roughly a total of 600,000 paper crafters! Wow!! Can you imagine if just 10% of those paper crafters became PCC fans? That would be 60,000 fans! Crazy!! At our current fan rate, we're just over half of one percent! Let's just say we have PLENTY of room to grow
Speaking of growth, if you'd like to help with our expansion, let us know! The more info we have, the more info we can share. There's really no limit!! Email us at: susan@papercrafterscorner.com to share your gossip, news, event info, or willingness to volunteer
Oh, and if you haven't become a facebook "fan" yet, you should Here's our facebook page link.
If you wanted to take it a step further, it would be interesting to see which state has the highest percentage saying they scrapbook, stamp or make cards. Need to know the current population of each state, but I am guessing Texas wouldn’t be nearly as high in list as it is now.
Could you list again what you need from volunteers, what is exactly the information you would like…..
I would like to know which state has the most LSS still open. An actual scrapbook store, not Hobby Lobby, JoAnne, Michael or Archivers.
Looks like Texas and California are the two top winners. Of course, they are both pretty big states!
It would be interesting to see how that relates to population (% of population like Judy said). Still, 600,000 scrappers! Wow! And that’s just the ones on Facebook, right? No telling how many others are out there and just not on FB!
I love seeing such a huge number for California. I guess we could make that 46,340 + 1 because I’m not on Facebook, LOL! Great list, Susan. Thanks for compiling it

These numbers are amazing! And you are AMAZING, Susan, to know HOW to find all this info. I wouldn’t know the first thing about how to get all this. Kudo’s to you.
Texas has a high number of paper crafters yet North Texas gets bypassed every year by big events such as CKC and CHA. Not to mention there are about a handful of scrap stores in the entire north Texas area and no sign of an Archiver’s opening around the Dallas/Ft Worth area.
Wake up retailers there is a huge market up here!
