I drove to Berkeley on a sunny Sunday morning - through San Francisco and across the beautiful Bay Bridge. Kelly, the store manager, helped me throughout the day with setting up (thanks Kelly!). I was greeted at the door by Wilbur the store dog (who was joined later by another dog - who had tagged along because his owner was in one of my workshops later in the day). This store was spacious, with plenty of light filtering through the bank of windows in the roof of the building. The store owner, Diane, was away at CHA so we'll have to meet next time.
My flight back to Seattle left not long after my workshops ended, so I was unable to explore the area, which looked wonderful. I will have to schedule another visit!
Lots of great energy and creative juices flowing at this store - a required stop if you are in the Berkeley area! Here's a video tour of Scrapbook Territory...
I am from the South Bay and remember hearing about this place opening up (years ago) in Berkeley. I can't believe I have still yet to go. After seeing this vid and also just having started my paper crafting hobby in Nov 08, I am SO making my way to this store. Thanks for posting!

Hi Dave! Scrapbook Territory is one of my favorite stops when I'm in the SF Bay area. Diane is a super great person, and her store is always packed with cool "must haves"!
And, there are tons of fun places to go and things to see on 4th street -- you could spend all day there and not see it all! :)

I just saw Wilbur and Oliver (the whippet) at Scrapbook Territory today with Diane. You really should stick around longer and check out 4th Street. Besides Scrapbook Territory, there are numerous interesting stores and eateries. And on Sundays, the cupcake truck shows up!
