started with a Crown bottle,” Joe
says. “People went nuts over it – so
I expanded to include all sorts of
things. They sell so quickly that I’m
always having to restock!”

The store is continuously growing
and changing to meet the desires of
its customers. A hearty selection of
Wyoming, Laramie and University
of Wyoming scrapbooks, die
cuts, papers, custom made rubber
stamps, hand stamped ribbon made
by Manni and more are available
to capture memories made in our
square state. Ask about their wood
discs for sale – made from slicing
leftover Christmas trees – which
make beautiful wreaths and crafts.
And if you’re feeling adventurous,
dig into their mystery bags and
find a goodie you never knew you
couldn’t live without!
The unique variety, creative ideas
and fun atmosphere bring people
from all over the region, even areas
with chain stores such as Cheyenne
and Denver. “You just can’t get what
we have here in a chain store,” Joe
says. And just for those glassy-eyed
husbands and boyfriends who follow
a woman enthusiastically bursting
into the store – a guys’ corner,
complete with comfy chairs, reading
material and a wood-burning stove
for the winters. “We’ve heard men
say, ‘I’ve been drug into a lot of
scrapbooking stores, but none of
them are like this,’” Manni laughs.
Scrap Tree is not only a store –
it’s a gathering for crafters in the
community. Their weekly ‘club’ of
crafters is currently full, but don’t
let that stop you from expressing
interest if you have a love of learning
and creating! Manni is also available
for questions and advice, and as
previously stated, their store is
always evolving and morphing to fit
the needs of its customers.
