Ban Wagon - 2010

Well, I think I may be done for in February!!!! Today we got a seasonal truck in at M's and one of the things on the truck was a new scrapbooking setup in the drive aisle that we stocked!!!! Lots of pretty Prima's and new paper pads (DCWV and others) that I really really want. HELP!!!!! I was going to go back and get a better look when I got off work, but I was exhausted so didn't stop, but I've been thinking about it and I'm sure it'll be calling me back tomorrow. There's a beautiful "songbird" paper pad :lovestruc that really stood out and some bird silhouette rub-ons and a ribbon with flower petals coming out from underneath. I want it all!!!!!

I tried the 3 questions and I don't think they'll hold me back!:scared:
 
Step 1: Breathe
Step 2: Remember that those special displays, in the main aisle, always end up being clearanced. You have many friends, that can track down things when that happens.
Step 3: Prioritize
Step 4: Remember your coupons
Step 5: Join swaps, just to have an "excuse" to buy something, then change idea to use something else, and horde the pretty stuff for yourself :lmao:
 
I didn't see that one Jennifer, but we didn't get everything in for the display so maybe. I also didn't look at all of it closely, mainly just the 2 sides I was stocking.

I vote for #5!!!!!!:rotfl:
 
The brand spanking new Mike's is opening this week. I'll probably go over on Friday and check it out. I'll see if they have it.

Oh, and I vote for #5 too ;)
 


Yes we need on of those stores!
And I love that bobunny line.
 
Good luck with what ever new one your mother gets you

I had a look on Amazon and found a couple which had good reports and were not too big - my old one has stopped baking (it will still mix - just!) but I've had it about 8 years and it was only very cheap. I know Panasonic are good but they are a bit big.

what makes it easy for me to stay on the wagon is that we have NO good scrap shops:sad2:

I guess I should be glad I don't work at M's anymore. I'd take my check in merchandise! LOL
 
I should have an Archivers's. Or anything, actually!:rolleyes1
 
Bump.



That was me falling off of the wagon.
Just found out about this store, Blick. And they have a bunch of pens.
And fancy paper for cheap.

....And I haven't gone yet. But I will be going.

:rolleyes1

I need pens?

Dick Blick? Over near Fenway? They sell Copics, don't they? Never been, but always wanted to go ;)
 
Yup - i NEEDED two Copics yesterday for my MK swap (no really! :rotfl2:) - I had colors that were close, but no cigar, and I was right across the street at the Wheelock Theater near Fenway. ("Honk" there was marvelous...if you're in the area!)

So, I'm off my "0" February spending wagon...but only by a tiny bit. But, taking Z2H over there tomorrow JUST TO SHOW HER WHERE IT IS. Really?
 
These are incredible markers! I discovered them last year just before the 5-store scrappy shopping bus trip. They are terrific - blend beautifully, leave no streaky marks and come in luscious colors - the best part is that they don't really bleed - or just do a VERY teeny-tiny bit on some papers - so that makes them great for scrapping and cardmaking.

Here's the website:

Some insane scrappers I've met have 50+ of these :rolleyes1...I've got 24 now - bought slowly to get just the (basic) colors I need and shades of those colors.

They are about $5 each - and our LSS has them "buy 5-get one free" - but I've never bought that many at one time. Scrapbook Pal has them in their booth at CKC.
