We are so excited to have another successful year under our belt and to be heading into 2009 at full speed with so many great new products. We are introducing over 150 new items in January with more to follow. I would like to thank all of you out there who feed us great ideas and product improvements that have helped us grow into what We R.

I wouldn’t do this company and its employees justice if I didn’t brag a bit. We are so happy to have been now listed two years in a row on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies. We have also been awarded accolades for our products, most specifically our tools and albums. Without your support of our products and ideas we couldn’t have done it. So the thanks goes to you!

I know 2008 has been difficult for many and we want you to know we are doing everything we can to support you. One of the best ways to do that is to continue to develop new and exciting products which keeps your customers happy and wanting more. We will not slow down. We are not short on ideas. We also promise to be here for years to come. We take pride in the fact that we have grown fast, but we have also grown smart. In a time of economic concern you don’t need to worry about We R Memory Keepers being here to continue to support and back its products and retailers.

A few things you should keep your eye out for in our new 2009 catalog is the newest member of the Crop-A-Dile family - The Corner Chomper. Not only will you get the strength and precision of the Crop-A-Dile, you get two tools in one for half the price! Another mention is the huge success we have been having with our magnetic cutting system and all the amazing tools that go along with it. You will see we have added more popular and unique tools that we know you will love. And they’re cute to boot.

We have several new paper collections that I am sure you will enjoy and we have added more amazing and fun elements. Pay special attention to the stamp sets we have created and their (to die for) retail price. We have really tried hard to pass on value you can’t ignore. Your customers will be at ease parting with their hard earned money, knowing they are getting the best quality, designs, and the best value available. We even lowered the cost of our beloved trims.

We R committed to making the future bright for our partners who put their trust in us and our product. Thank you for all the support and energy you put into your business and for continuing to make this a fun and growing industry. May 2009 be great and successful for all of you. May you never stop loving your passion and be fearless in your resolve to succeed.

From our family to yours, a sincere thank you!
