We've had that ornament die set for a few weeks, but I haven't seen the other two. Love the snowman. You can tell how old (sort of) and item is by looking at the first three numbers in the sku. If it is 163(ish) or higher then it isn't very old. The 150's are from the summer and before. It is big generalization, but it is close to that. I didn't know that; thanks for the info. I'll be watching those sku numbers.

How do you look up the SKU numbers to see if that item is available at a store?

How do you look up the SKU numbers to see if that item is available at a store? You can do it from the store, or if you go online you can find a phone number that lets you enter the ski and will tell you. It is called the product locator. Sometimes skus are shared for different items that are very similar though.

Ours had a bunch of Mother Goose Graphic 45 paper in 12 x 12 pads and 8 x 8 pads today. They also had lots of other paper packs that might have been MAMBI.

The Bloomington MN had 3 of the pink/orange rolling totes. I stayed strong and didn't even look at them! It helped that they were on a very high shelf.
They had lots of MAMBI pads - don't need.
I bought 2 packs of Thickers, a package of Pebbles chips that are snowflakes, a package of Chickaniddy Christmas diecuts that match the 6x6 pad I bought a while back, and one 25 pack of royal blue Bazzill cardstock.
I wish they would date/purge the older stuff. It seems like I see the same stuff for a long time.

When I was there yesterday, one of the clerks was pulling old skus and putting them on the very top shelf. She said she would be putting them in clearance soon. Wasn't anything I wanted though.

Basic Grey items are starting to arrive. I saw some of the same items that I got in my Warehouse Box -- buttons, chenille flowers, die cut packs, waterfall embellishment packs, enamel dots, but no paper. I was happy to find their little disc magnet packs.

I haven't been in for awhile. I was surprised to see 25 packs of Bazzill card stock in all sorts of colors and textures. They were only $3.99 [br I got one of the 8.5 x 11. And cut it at 5.5. To make a card base... Scored it at 4.25 and folded it.... But the sides were uneven... Tried again with same result.... Finally figured out the paper was slightly longer than 11 and less than 8.5!!!

I happened to get to the store just as she was putting SB stuff out. MAMBI pads, BG pad that came in crate, chenille flowers and chipboard embellishments for PB&J. They mostly received dies. I wish our store carried more paper.

I got Pink Paislee's Atlas 12x12 paper pad this week. It's travel themed, but most of the papers are versatile enough to be used for anything.

Found Typeset (I think) and Juniper Berry COLLECTION PACKS for 99 cents. Also found a couple of background stamps for 99 cents as well (you know, the ones that are $13-$16 regular price). Basic Grey is no joke on their going under strategy. The only negative was their big sticker packs (the retail packs with multiple of the same) were $5.99...totally not worth it. I also picked up the BG best of pad for $3.99 that people were saying they were supposed to get in their WH boxes but didn't. I'm kind of happy I didn't buy it if the same items are showing up for so much less at TM and I can pick and choose what I want. I'm hoping that the one that is purple, yellow, teal and orange (can't think of the name) shows up in collections packs soon.

Those are cute stamps. Mine didn't have any stamps. But I went to another store today and found BG South Pacific 6x6 pad. I also found 6x6 Adrift the other day. Mine gets their shipments on Thursday. Can't wait to see what they have this week.

Finally got to my TM today. BG in the house! I saw some of the chenille flowers, the filers, a ton of 6x6 Spice Market and another one that looked like it but the name escapes me. No enamel dots I got the best of BG 12x12 pad bc I liked about 1/2 of what's in there and so it was a great deal at $3.99. Even the patterns I don't like had good solid or small monochromatic prints on the other sides so I think it was a good purchase. Also found the Evergreen ephemera/die cut pack, some little paper bag/envelopes that go with Herbs & Honey and a canvas alpha that went with Hey You (which I love). I will try to remember to take a photo to post tomorrow. I might be able to hit up the other TM in the morning. We shall see. I really want some 6x6 pads, but I didn't really care for the ones my store got!

I really want some 6x6 pads, but I didn't really care for the ones my store got! I've been to three (one before I knew this stuff was out because I was in the area). I found Spice Market and Typeset at that one. Then at my usual one, I found Typeset and Second City. Then the other had something with South in the name and Aurora. The first two had 2 packages (they are 6 to a package...they were still in the plastic at one store, so this is how I know) of one of the 2 that they got, so I don't know why they couldn't spread them out further since every story is getting something different.

I got that one and I'm just like you, I thought, "Even if I like 4 pieces of this, it's worth $4!" But I actually really like about 22 pieces from it!

Mine had very little BG. I did pick up another little file set for a buck and a half. My old one is pretty worn.

TracieClaiborne , yes! It was the Best of 2. After thinking about it, I'm going to take out my favorite pieces to add to my stash. Then I think I'm going to keep the rest of the pad in my crop bag. Because it seems like I always need a little something extra for layering or whatever and I tend to just take kits, not my whole paper stash. And because this is a wide variety of colors and patterns as it's not all from one collection, it is super versatile to fill in when I need a little something else.

FYI, you can tell how old an item is (sorry, jumping off from a prior comment that I just saw) by looking in the upper right hand corner. I just learned this from YT. It will have the month and year it's supposed to roll out (sometimes, if it comes in at the end of the month it will have the next month, but it's usually accurate). So, everything now says 0316. It definitely helps in telling the age of a product!

The Vancouver WA store has tons of the BG Grand Bazaar 6 by 6 pads, some Sunkissed collection kits (.99 cents!) and a couple of embellishments or stickers for Grand Bazaar, Second City and Aurora.
They also had some dark green, and yellowish/off white enamel dot packs.
Everything else was the same stuff that's been there for a while.

I found B-Side, collection pack for 99 cents, at another TM. Only two got this SKU in (opposite ends of town, naturally) and I've been to both. The TM that got B-Side in also got a few packs of the single sheet packs for 2.99. Part of me hated to pay 3x the cost of the collection pack (with multiple sticker sheets) but I really loved the papers. One was a grey with stars and the other was Ashland from Second City (I am hoping it will pair well with the sheets from Second City in the best of #2 paper pad). I am thinking that TM is probably going to keep having product from BG trickle in...if I see more next week, I'm going to expect more to keep coming out while BG gets rid of inventory. Hoping that once news hits of American Crafts warehouse transition is completed that a ton of stuff will hit TM then, too.

This week's delivery stunk!! They didn't get hardly anything in, but they did rearrange everything. Makes me think they have something big coming. Hoping a truckload of basic grey!!

Lots of 6x6 Grand Bazaar, Prism, Aurora and Evergreen at my TMs this week. Also chenille posies in lots of different colors. I did find a pad of 6x8 Carte Postale, which has a lot of nice neutrals in it. They only had one of those.
It does seem like they have sent large amounts of the same item to individual stores, rather than dividing it up like they usually do. Hoping for more options next week.

My Tuesday Morning only had two packs of BG paper from the Second City line. That's it.
