I just wanted to share this odd (to me) stroke of scrappy luck. Within the last month, I have found and purchased multiple, long-discontinued embellies, papers, etc. that I have been searching for for a long LONG time. Just as a few examples, I have purchased multiple sets of OA wild cards (Fly a Kite, Cherry Hill, and Very Merry), a 12x12 pack of Campfire papers (been looking since ~2014) and just the other day, I stumbled across a horizontal 8.5x11 Martha Stewart album in the color I've been looking for for about a year. All on eBay and Etsy. Now I'm sure most of this is due to a combination of good timing and my obsessive habit of scouring the internet for discontinued supplies. But it's a really odd feeling to have my wishlist pretty much taken care of! I almost feel like...what's the point of scrapping if I'm not on the hunt for some rare d/c'd paper?!  |

I LOVE OA!! I don't think I have cloud OA paper though. I obsess about it, but I rarely buy online. Once and a blue moon I see something at a discount store or whatever. I about died, about six months ago, my dog found some OA paper that I left on the floor and he decided to have a snack with it.. thank goodness it was just the corner and I can hide it, but I about lost my mind!

I have a line like this. Bought a few pieces before I was really in the know. The company went under not long after and I haven't been able to find anymore of the line. I even found an old phone number for the company and tried to give them a call (they are local to me) and left a message asking if they had any of that older line they'd like to get rid of. Never got a call back. I love the green, yellow, black and white that it has. Piggy Tales - Itsy Bitsy Spider |
