Where were you when you found out Two Peas was closing?

That's funny, I always remember it because it was my sister's birthday. I was doing my first Facebook check-in of the day and I'm part of a group who are all Peas and former Peas. So that was how I found out, and then found out almost immediately that another board was being set up. So it was a smooth transition for me!

I had a link saved for the message boards so never went via the main page. I remember thinking the board was unusually slow as there were quite a few threads on the front page I had already read. I came back either later that day or the next day and realised nothing had been posted so started clicking around the site and found the closure message. It was a run of the mill day for me.

I found the reddit thread that got me here and signed up a couple of days after these boards were created. I am very grateful for the fairy podmother being so quick to act and for all the peas who are apparently pretty good at regrouping quickly.

I still miss the gallery, partly because I had so many years of projects there. There were so many wonderful and inspiring projects posted.

I can't remember exactly where I was but I remember feeling so shocked and sad. I was an early member and watched it grow from something small to basically taking over the scrapbook world. I like many stopped scrapbooking for awhile but when I came back to it, first place I went...Two Peas.

I miss the garden girls and all of the wonderful ideas over the years. I miss being able to look at all of the layouts I was saving to scrap lift at a later date. I just miss it and always wonder why they couldn't keep the forums going at least.

I don't remember where I was, but I was looking for something I was going to buy and when I logged on to the website the closing message popped up. I was so sad; it was message boards that took my papercrafting to the next level. Between CK and 2P's closing I felt lost (by then I had already stopped visiting SC on a regular basis).

I was on a scrapbooking hiatus but remember receiving the email. I wasn't an avid pea because honestly the message boards scared me. I was afraid to post anything because there seemed to be so much drama and I was always afraid to ask a question that someone thought may have been stupid, lol. I LOVED the gallery though and the store! The gallery was full of inspiration and ideas!

I was at work, too.

I had the same experience. I Googled 2 Peas and found the Refupeas. What a relief! I was seriously grieving the loss of my Peaps.

It was the day before my birthday that they sent out the email that they were closing down and having a clearance sale. I was sad to see them close down, although it wasn't totally unexpected. I learned about scrapbooking through Two Peas and it was my favorite scrappy site for years, so it felt like my true scrapbooking home on the internet. I loved all their fun events and challenges. But the last year before they closed it was impossible to shop with them. Crazy international shipping rates, never enough stock of anything, it seemed to be random, clearly they had cash flow problems. I had already moved on to ACOT and Blue Moon scrapbooking stores at least one year before Two Peas folded.

Well before they closed down, I had found my way to another online forum and then I did immediately register for this place, so I didn't miss the message boards, but I did save a lot of informative threads, videos and other good stuff before they closed down the site. The gallery was amazing! Such a pity they didn't keep it online. But most of the old videos are still up on YouTube!

Watching a warehouse walk video with sweet Jamie Sorensen takes me right back to 'the good old days'. 

This one made me buy all those Pink Paislee collections. And the Artisan Elements. Still have them in my stash.  

I don't know where I was - I used to get on the boards several times a day.  I got on and the boards were locked.  I was panicked.  Not gonna lie.  I started looking for other message boards.  I found one and someone posted that she knew about this board.  She sent me a pm.  I guess it was probably a few hours after I discovered 2 peas was locked.  I was so happy and I don't know why it took so long to find it but I was amazed how many people had already found this without the two peas boards to tell us all where to find each other.

i only checked the scrapping board every few day. I was actually at another site and someone posted that 2P had closed all their forums. I guess I wasn't really surprise considering the lack of inventory in their store and that many long time posters had bailed. It still irritates me that they shut them down without warning. 2P was my first scrapping related board and I was sad to see it go. I found this one pretty quickly though so all's good.

I was in Colorado Springs, visiting from Maryland. My daughter, who also had a Two Peas profile and participated on the swap boards mostly, and I were spending a few days visiting the area before she entered BCT at USAFA. The announcement came through the day before I dropped her off. I definitely had a sense that things weren't going well before that time, but I remember our shock over the announcement. Although I was mostly a lurker the 12+ years I was a member, Two Peas was a big part of my hobby life. We still miss it.

It was a normal day for me. When I checked my email, I was so shocked. When I went to the boards, I was a bit freaked. Then I was sad. After a couple of days, I received a message from another pea about this board being started and came right over. Thanks, admin!

I was actually ON the two peas NSBR board perusing threads. I was reading a thread and went to click to the next page and it just stopped working. If I remember correctly, the message wasn't up immediately and it was some sort of error message.

It was my birthday and like many have posted before me, the boards just stopped and then I saw the notice.

Thank goodness we were all able to regroup quickly!
