Another thread was discussing LSS. Someone asked to tell the location of these LSS. So I decided to start a new thread for that purpose.
Some of the LSS that I've discovered:
Mary's Scrapden - Evansville, IN (my hometown)
Scattered Art - Newburgh, IN
Paper Chase - Princeton, IN (I haven't been to this one since it isn't handicap accessible)
The Doodlebug - Jasper, IN
Neu Scrapbooking - Indianapolis, IN
The Scrapyard - Shipshewana, IN
Daisy Lane - Mattoon, IL
The Scrapbook Factory - O'Fallon, IL
Your Scrapbook Superstore - Sevierville, TN (spent 8 hours in one day in their two stores)
Scrapbook Station - Butler, PA
Flower and Home Marketplace - Blue Ball, PA (at one time they had a large room with scrappy supplies, but I haven't been there in a while)
Island Scrapbooking - Hilo, HI
You can get more information on most of these stores by doing a Google search.

The Glitterie ~ Greenwood, IN (it has a lot more than scrap stuff, but almost half the store is stamp / scrap related)
I didn't know about the ones in southern Indiana! I'll have to go next time I visit my niece in Evansville.

I didn't know about the ones in southern Indiana! I'll have to go next time I visit my niece in Evansville. We also have a place in Evansville called Let's Sew. While it isn't scrapbooking related they have a wall of buttons and a couple of rows of ribbons and trims. I go there to find embellishments for my LO's. They had some cute zippers the last time I was in there. Trying to figure out how I can use them on a LO. |

Closest to me is Scrapbook Factory in O'Fallon illinois
About 40 min away. Their prices are higher (1.10) for a sheet of paper. I don't go there often, maybe once or twice a year. Hobby Lobby and Joann's is 5 min from there.

In Connecticut:PaperCraft Clubhouse in Westbrook, CT, exit 65 off of 95. I like this place. They moved to a new, bigger location not too long ago, and there's a lot to see. Wear sensible shoes. There's a good amount of floor space The Inspiration Station in Stafford Springs, CT, exit 70 off of 84. When I lived closer to this one, I'd stop in whenever I could. It's not a huge store, but the owner makes really good use of the space and has a lot of cool stuff. Scrapbook Cove on the Stonington side of Mystic, CT, exit 90 off of 95. I've never been there, but I've heard nice things about them. And, hey, it's Mystic! Go get a lobstah for lunch at Abbott's! CT Scrapbooks in Southington, CT. I stopped there once, last year, but I don't feel the need to go back. She had a rockin' crop going on in her back room, which seemed larger than the area devoted to retail product. But the retail stock was older and pretty run of the mill. A lot of basics to keep her cropping customers going. If I lived local to her store, I imagine I'd be in there quite a bit though anyway. Those ladies were having a great old time! Great thread! I hope when it gets enough posts, we can go back and organize it by region so it's easier to search.  |

Hobby Lobby and Joann's is 5 min from there. You know, I always think the same thing. I'm an hour-ish away, and I'd buy a lot more there, but I just went to buy some die cuts, and they charge $4.99 for a $3.99 msrp pack. That's 25% over MSRP! I get maybe having high overhead and charging $4.29, but $1 more per item as a flat markup? Three items and I can pay my postage from ACOT or scrapbook.com, and not have $20 in gas and 8.5% local/state taxes on top of their $1/item "store tax"! There's a Michael's less than 10 min away, too. |

Not a SB store, but a stamp store that is alive and kicking...Stamp Fever in Orange Ca. The store is small but they sell current/popular stamps sets/inks/few paper pads/single sheets of paper (not too much). They only have a blog and FB, but both are active: Stamp Fever Orange Calif. |

I went to the LSS in Stonington and it was not worth the trip, nor Inspiration Station unless I stay in that area, and the one in Southington was also not worth the trip. I stayed in Kensington and near Storrs. When in Westbrook, slide over to Old Saybrook and get a Clam Roll at Johnny Ad's, eat outdoors at a picnic table. They have white Birch Beer soda too. |

www.scrapbooksbythesea.com/ in Myrtle Beach. They have a lot of Myrtle Beach and beach items. PP $1.50/sheet. They have a pretty good selection of Cardstock for a reasonable price. I can count on finding things I NEED to buy. I know she likes Graphic 45.

Too bad we only get the parking lot to look at instead of the seashore  Oh, and PaperCraft Clubhouse is my favorite of all of them too! |

Glad to know! We will be there next month and I have been wanting to find a Hawaiian themed album. There is another Hawaiian scrapbooking store on Maui called www.islandpaperie.com/. I've not been there though. They also have an online store. I was there over a decade ago! It was a small shop but really packed with stuff, including an awesome selection of Hawaiian themed stuff. What was really great though was that they carefully packed my papers between pieces of chipboard so they wouldn't get bent on the trip home!  |

There's a Michael's less than 10 min away, too. Yeah exactly why I don't really shop there. I love supporting small business and all but thats just ridiculous. My Michael's in Edwardsville is about 15-20 min away so if there is a good sale I will go there. But HL is probably my favorite. I think there is another LSS in St Louis area- but I've never been. There really isn't much around here. |

Beach Memories in Outer Banks, NC. I hope to go there in about 2 weeks but I heard that her hours are sketchy.
Pages in Time in Brickerville, PA. I go there about 3 times a year because it is near my mom's house.
In my entire state there are no scrapbook stores left. There used to be about 20 in my state in the heyday. |

Backroads Plum Crazy - Ionia, IA
There also used to be a place in Osage, IA that carried scrapbooking stuff, but I don't know if they still do or what the name of the store is.

The Island's Creative Escape in Los Gatos, CA (Scrapbook Island to us oldsters) I was just there yesterday.  Laurie has expanded the store to include other paper crafts, but they are still the best LSS I've seen. Bright, well organized, friendly staff, tons of new product, and great classes by the designers even I've heard of. LOL |

In the Pacific NW, in Silverdale (Kitsap County) WA, Scrapbook Zone They don't seem to have heard of American Crafts at all (literally - I asked about whether they were getting Shimelle's new line and got a blank look, then clarified "it's an American Crafts line" and got another blank look  ) but they seem to have crops and classes and the like. I've only popped in a couple of times, but they did have exactly what I needed last time - 2 lovely navy blue papers that coordinated with the MME stuff I bought online, even if they don't seem to have heard of MME either... |

There's MultiCrafts in Ottawa, Ontario. It has all sorts of crafts supplies, but also a huge section of scrapbooking and stamping. They're primarily a wholesaler for Canadian retailers, but they do have a retail store as well at their warehouse. It's at 2210 Thurston Drive.
