Please accept my apologies for such a lag in between communications. As many of you know, the past year has been a series of personal & family obstacles for Maria and I but we tried to keep StopAndScrap rolling through it all. About 3 months ago, we realized that Maria would no longer be able to continue with StopAndScrap and it became a one-person company (me) working nights & weekends because I already have a full-time job. Unfortunately due to other issues, for the last 4-6 weeks even I have been unable to run StopAndScrap. We were able to have some family help ship out pending orders in that time, but all other aspects had to be "paused", for lack of a better term, due to my unavailability. You may have sent emails and not had a response, or you may still be waiting for a pre-order that we are late on. I very deeply apologize if you fall into either of these categories - I am working to catch up on everything now.
We have realized that what we used to be able to do before kids, full-time jobs and sick parents can not be continued. Life changes and goes on, and unfortunately StopAndScrap is no longer a realistic project for us. So for the indefinite future, we will not be selling new pre-orders and will only be selling off clearance items over the next few months.
We WILL be completing all pending pre-orders over the next few weeks with the goal to complete all before Christmas (and more significantly before that). All pre-order products are on order with our manufacturers/vendors and we only are waiting as things arrive. As they come in, they will be shipped out.
There's no way to know what the future holds and perhaps sometime later in 2014 it will make sense for us to give it a try again, but as of now we do not feel right taking any more pre-orders without knowing when we can fill them. Both of us want all of you to know how much we've appreciated your faith and patience over the years. We never had any interest in expanding StopAndScrap outside our home, so we tried our best to keep doing it as our family and responsibilities grew, but unfortunately it was just not possible in the end. Thank you again for shopping with us over the years, and please keep an eye on the following link which will finally be updated often over the next few weeks as we finish up all the pending pre-orders:

Thanks!
