Overwhelmed By Your Kindness

WOW. In just a few short hours of telling you all that our store is closing, we were flooded with emails and calls. We are truly touched by your kind words. The Red Bee has been so much more than a place to buy supplies. So many of you we know as friends. Thank you for all the posts on our facebook page. We thought we would share some of your personal emails that have touched us today...

I am sooo sorry the Red Bee will be closing!!! :( Where will we go knit on Friday nights???

So sorry to hear this news. I can't even tell you how much I will miss the Red Bee as I know it. I live in La Habra, so it was a drive for me, but walking into the Red Bee felt like home. I have never been in a store that was so welcoming, so creative and had my beading needs covered, my scrapping needs covered, projects I could buy for my daughter and also my altered books. I loved all the home decor, I loved the displays and I will miss you all SOOO much! I will miss classes with the top dogs like Teresa and Marah. I have watched quite a few stores close in the last 5 years, but I can honestly say I will miss you the most. :-( I wish you the best and hope to keep in touch on Facebook. I trust God will lead your family as you set out on new adventures and pray for success and prosperity during these tough times. I know I haven't been in as often, since my husband was laid off in Oct, but when I did need a supply, I came to YOU! Wish you the best ...

We are so sorry to hear that you will be closing. This must be such a difficult decision for you as you have worked so hard to have such a beautiful business. We wish you only the best as you continue your online business, and in any other endeavors you pursue. We love you guys!

so sad! but I am sure there is so much on your next pathway to even greater success!!! Thank you for all you do and all that you are to so many...

I am so sorry to hear this! The Red Bee will be missed dearly and no other store can compare!

I am so sorry to hear of the closing of such a wonderful store. Thank you for always bee-ing so helpful whenever I came in. For years you have been one of my most favorite places to shop for scrapbook supplies. I moved north from Orange County a few years ago, but every time we are visiting friends I make it a point to come in a do a little shopping. Orange county doesn't know what they are missing! May God bless you in your next journey and may you have all the love and happiness your hearts can hold.

Oh....I am sooo sad...You guys were the best....I will be sure to come in to say goodbye!!!

I am so sorry to hear of the store closing. I remember when it first opened. What a fun place to shop. I wish you the best ~

Hi all. I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy and sadness upon receiving this e-mail. I have visited your store several times and loved it. I could tell you had all invested your blood sweat & tears into the store and that the downturn in this horrendous economy is crippling us all!

I just wanted you to know that I share your sadness. Good luck on your new endeavors!

I can't even begin to tell you how sad this makes me! I'm hoping and praying for the best for you and the family.

Oh no way........I am so sorry and right before Christmas. Shoot, the landlord must be overcharging folks for rent over there, almost every store in the place has or is closing........Shucks...... Okay I am stopping by tonight.

I can’t tell you how heartbroken I am that you are closing. But I’m sure you are both even sadder. I have enjoyed so many happy hours with each of you and in the store. We have all been aware of your struggles but hoped with all of our hearts that you would be able to survive. What will we do on Friday nights now? You will be missed so much.

I can't tell you how much it sucks that you are closing. You will be missed.

I am so saddened to hear that you are closing. I loved going to the mommy and me scrapbook events. I was waiting to take my daughter this month. She loves going to your store. Well we wish you all the best.....God bless

This is shocking! It's all just so sad.....

I'm so sorry to hear about your closing. As a lifetime Retailer, I so admired your totally creative endeavor and loved to shop in your store. You will be missed by many. Best of luck in your future pursuits. You will surely be successful.

SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU ARE CLOSING—I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR THINGS,ON-LINE-I LOVE YOUR LITTLE SHOP—ESPECIALLY,THE STAFF-SO HELPFUL—MY GRAND-DAUGHTERA ALWAYS FIND A PROJECT IN YOUR STORE-,TOO-

I am so sad to hear that you guys are closing. I have loved knowing that I could go there and usually find what I needed. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, even ordering what I couldn’t find. I wish you all the best. I will be, of course, checking out your online store. BEE sure to keep me on your email list.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am to get this email. I live in the UK and usually visit the area once a year for vacation and The Red Bee is always somewhere I visit, I even did a class with Leah Fung last August. I can only wish you and your staff all the very best for whatever the future holds.

I'm sad to hear this news, but I'm sure you're headed to a brighter future! Best wishes with the online store and everything you do.

The Red Bee was/is such a huge part of my life. I will never forget this time...our memories will never cease. We better take some pictures these last 2 weeks!

I am truly bummed. So sorry to see you go : (
