I just heard from a friend that she called and got one of the last ones. I checked their site and they're showing as "Discontinued." Just a heads up for anyone who was still considering it. |

I expected them to go super fast.
Thanks for keeping us up to date.

It was probably a combination of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), nostalgia, and a good deal that caused the rush on the boxes. So sad to see such an influential company close their paper line.

I agree scrapperal. Apparently, people who ordered boxes via phone were told that they'd include items from their new lines. Will be interesting to see what's inside! |

I'm happy I ordered my box when I did. Kind of excited that they are including stuff from the new lines.  |

I'm glad I got one. I had ordered it before I heard they were ending their paper business.
ETA I mean I ordered one, but haven't gotten it in hand yet.

Wow that was quick! I was debating whether to get one or not, but I am not sad I missed out - I likely would have gotten more that I didn't need than stuff I really wanted. I love the new collections they have coming out so I'll see if I manage to buy some of those.

Bummer- I was on the fence this morning-just getting back into scrapbooking after a long hiatus. I came back this afternoon to see this. Oh well, wasn't meant to be I guess.  |

Strange.....I just went to their website and ordered one. Maybe they replenished??

Are you sure it went through? It let me complete the checkout process but the final note said that the item is out of stock I would not be charged until it shipped. I ordered about an hour ago. I'm assuming I will not actually be getting one.

I ordered one this morning. I hope I like it. I definitely had a case of FOMO, along with being annoyed that DH always seems to order whatever he wants for his hobby.  |

even my intense FOMO kept me from getting a box because of the uncertainly of what I would get. since I haven't been a fan these past few years, that's the stuff I was afraid my box would have been loaded with. no thank you.

I got one of today on a phone order. They told me they sold 1000 boxes yesterday. The boxes are all the same, all new product.

Ordered mine yesterday while mourning the end. Maybe I'll take up quilting so I can continue buying Basic Grey product -- who am I kidding - not going to happen!!!  |

I tried yesterday after reading the thread, but it wouldn't let me put my credit card info in, so I gave up.
Another case of 'it wasn't meant to be', I guess.

Ok, I'll go ahead and admit that I ordered a box as soon as I heard the news.  Some of the newer lines have such pretty designs, even if they may not be my scrapbook style. Once I knew I couldn't have it any more, I immediately thought I might need it. It's a sickness, I tell you. |

They are still selling on the basicgrey.com website, just not the boxes.

Christine Are you sure it went through? It let me complete the checkout process but the final note said that the item is out of stock I would not be charged until it shipped. I ordered about an hour ago. I'm assuming I will not actually be getting one. I guess I will find out. It clearly said in stock and let my order go through. I also received a confirmation e-mail. I guess maybe I won't hold my breath that I actually get one, but it will be like Christmas if I do!! Christine |

I just went back to their website and now it says "discontinued". Maybe people had them in their carts and I got one because they hadn't submitted their order yet? Or maybe the system was just playing with me.....either way I am ok really.

Remember when using fabric in scrapbooking was a thing? You could revive that trend! (it would probably be cheaper than taking up quilting  ) |

I hope we both get one! Mine said in stock until the actual final page. I also got a confirmation, but no money taken out of my account yet. Fingers crossed we both get one!

I had both FOMO and FOGSIDL (Fear of Getting Stuff I Don't Like). The latter stopped me from buying. Now I am wishing I had.

Shoot if I had seen that first, I would have gotten two boxes just for the free shipping!
