Making Memories rub on letters. They were my favorite, I still have several packs from when a LSS closed near me. But I'm hoarding them!

I would bring back some of the embellies HS did with advantus. obviously not those awful rubons, but the ghost shapes and alphas especially. she had other fun, different-from-everyone-else stuff. I'd also like to have more of the girls' paperie Christmas line. I have bits left and it's so pretty! and I love those spiral books she did with her collections that had the mini word stickers, labels, alphas, etc. I still use those on Christmas and halloween pages. |

I loved the magazines also. So much inspiration and I loved getting them in the mail. I would flip through them time and time again.  I would LOVE for October Afternoon to come back in full swing releasing new lines of their yummy goodness lol! |

Oh I loved Girls Paperie as well! There was a travel collection (I think it was?). It had reds and blues - oh I loved that line! I wish I had saved my Sass a Frass letters. *sigh* we used to get them in our SC kits each month. They are my all time favorite! SaveSave |

6x6 Faux Leather albums. There is still old stock at AC's warehouses from WRMK (as evidenced by the fact they were featured on scrapbooksteals.com) but the only ones in stores are chipboard.
I also wish Joann's didn't stop carrying the WRMK 12x12 albums in stores. While it was nice to grab a few that were marked down for super cheap (along with some WRMK PL style cards and Simple Stories things) it always sucks knowing that the cost of the clearance pricing is not being able to buy it in store any longer.
Can I put a vote in for higher quality products in general, too? The quality from AC produced companies is just nosediving. Low quality and high price tags is not the way to get more people into the hobby.

Hands down for me.....Archivers!! It was only a couple of minutes from my work and there isn't a big box store that compares.
For product, I wish Stampin' Up would bring back individual color packs of 12x12 cardstock. It can be a pain to track down others that I like.

Archiver, especially their classes. Nobody comes close for being on point with trends and how to use them. God I miss that place.

I miss Archiver's and Friday night crops at any LSS.
But, my bank account is much happier without Archiver's 5 minutes from my office. Every time I ran in for something small, it was $30, because I have no scrappy willpower.

Having several LSS around. I miss seeing the supplies with my own eyes but I'm getting the hang of online shopping and the surprise of the first look at what comes in the mail is fun.

Archivers for me too. And my LSS. And those Making Memories metal charms (the thick ones). And all the different lines of paper we used to be able to choose from!

Also, LSS classes. I only took a few, and was looking for life to settle down a bit to really get into the classes. My LSS asked me to teach one that I was going to do "someday." Now it's someday, and it's all gone away. |

I can't believe no one said Paperkins!  For me, it's the classes at my LSS. They had such a talented design team, and the owners were so creative and friendly. I learned a lot and always had tons of fun. Unfortunately, it was at the same time that my kids were young and very busy, so I wasn't able to participate much. I would live there if they were still open now. |

Not one but the 4 scrapbooking stores that were all close enough to get to on the weekend and carried stock I could see and touch and and not have to wait 3-4 weeks for stuff to arrive in the mail!

Basic Gray -- their first couple of years -- Motifica .. Sublime with the embossed patterns! Sighhhhhhhhhh
Choices in cardstock -- did you know there used to be a LOT of choices in cardstock companies? Some companies had beautiful thick coushy texture that wasn't imprinted on top -- and CHEAP!!
Innovation -- real, new, creative ideas - way more than "group think" "what will be the new "it" animal image"?

Reminisce still does those kinds of papers and stickers. ACOT carries them. |

It's not a product but I would love to bring back the hey day of scrapbooking. When there were so many people scrapbooking, crops all the time, magazines and 2 CHAs per year. There was so much excitement and scrapbooking fever! I miss that. Now so many have dropped scrapbooking because they're "too busy"

I couldn't think of just one thing, so I am going with your suggestion. |

Now so many have dropped scrapbooking because they're "too busy" Do you remember when General Scrapping was the busiest board on 2 Peas? What about 24hr Scrapbooking and Craft Days on QVC? The number of posts about people buying everything under the sun! It was awesome! I want Chatterbox to come back. |

Local LSS here too. I miss a lot of the old paper lines but not the one sided flimsy patterned paper.
