Not much at all for me last month. Maybe March will be better.

I shopped today! I’ll update my post tomorrow with what I found. I’m too tired to move from the couch tonight. 🤣
While I was shopping I organized supplies, re-hung fallen products, and cleaned up the paper racks. One of the employees walked by and offered me a job!

Not a lot of new things, I think. They did have Webster's Pages paper pads and a Disney kit I hadn't seen before. I haven't bought a lot in the past month. I think they have a lot of stamps and dies but I'm not interested in those.

I watched two videos last night of scrapbookers shopping at TM for their “How to Kill a Kit With Style” kits for March. Both seemed to think there was slim pickings but I kept saying ‘OMG I wish my TM had half of that stuff’. Granted I haven’t gone in weeks but I’ve never seen the quantity and variety that they had. Rarely have I ever seen more than 1 or 2 of an item in my store, especially Thickers, brads and enamel dots. That said, I don’t foresee going back to TM until I use a LOT of my stash. I don’t need anything except maybe ATG refills which I’ll order on line.

The same store that told me a couple of years ago that they were expecting craft supplies to slow down as they were going to be buying less (right before they saw a huge increase in craft supplies) told me the same thing last week or the week before. I hope it's not true the same as the first time and instead it's just a lull that happens from time to time.
I haven't spent much there at all lately and even skipped the far drive the past 2 weeks because of how little the closer stores have been getting.

Today we put out a ton of new scrapbooking inventory. At least 4 full shopping carts full...

Nothing new at my Monday stop, but they did have an endcap ready with paper holders. I asked them if they were working on moving it because they told me recently that they were told to expect to get less scrappy stuff (to be fair, the last time they said that, they started to get more and had to eventually expand into another aisle, so my first thought was they were moving the paper to shrink the new area) and they told me that nope, they were preparing for a huge shipment of paper they were told was coming. One can only hope that something shiny and new shows up soon.

I ended up with 2 Yankee candles, a WRMK pocket punch board, 2 x 8 Vicki Boutin paper pad (I think it's from her very first line), and 2 packs of Bo Bunny enamel dots and hearts in red. Trying to be good but it's SO hard!

I went to one of my stores today and for the third week I found nothing I needed. They are getting a lot of the old K and Company pads from yeeeeeaaaarsss ago. They had some new stamps and ephemera, but I have a lot, so if I am going to buy something, I need it to be dirrefent from similar things I already have.

I went to mine today and got Shimelle's Sparkle City Journaling pad. I don't know if it was new or not, but I don't remember seeing it there last week. That was the only thing I got as it didn't seem like there was much new.

I went today and purchased a pair of WeR tweezers. I was very good. I had a few other things in my hand but decided to put them back because I didn’t really need them. I can’t stop thing about the spring-loaded scissors I didn’t get though. They were only $5. I should go back!
They had a lot of WeR tools. They also had a lot of PL kits. Some I have never seen. And they were $5! Core kits! The big ones! I wanted to get them but you know, I don’t need more. They had a lot of the small kits too. Like mentioned above, one of them had square corners. Never even knew Becky allowed a kit to be made like that. I was really tempted to buy it. But I didn’t.

I was there a few days ago and it was more of a mess than usual, like someone went through the scrappies, threw them all in the air while yelling, "woooooo!" and then ran away. I did get some awesome Thickers, a few pads and a PL Kit my mom wanted. There wasn't much new at all.

I’m still hoping to snag a tag punch from We R Memory Keepers. I was pleasantly surprised to find some bits and pieces from MH Heirloom line two weeks ago, last week was slim pickings.

I’m heading to the best TM in my area (about an hour and fifteen minutes from me) this weekend, on my way to an event. I’m hoping to find a few more We R punches, adhesive, enamel dots, and newer AC embellishments.

I haven't been in TM yet in March. I'm not saying I haven't shopped (I found the On Stage Kaisercraft paperpack-holy grail of paper for me) but that was okay, as was birthday $$. I am trying to stay strong, but I still want to know what is in TM this month, lol.

There were bits from MME Lovely Day at the two stores I checked out this week and the stop I made today included MORE (April dates, so they're new) repeat WRMK tools. It's getting a bit ridiculous, really. They're sending redundant stock (and many times raising the prices from the last time they offered it while the old stuff isn't selling at the lower price) which could be why the employee I talked to mentioned that it was possible they were going to be decreasing the craft offerings...well duh, if you keep stocking the shelves with stuff people don't want, of course it's going to look like no one is buying anything. 15 year old K&Co and 5000 WRMK and PL core kits isn't really what most of us are looking for.

I agree, mostly more of the same today. A lot of it seems to be the same lines they’ve had, but some different items. I got a sticker sheet to go with Saturday Afternoon, 6x6 pads of CB Carta Bella and Great Outdoors (so cute for cards), and photo corners from Shimelle Box of Crayons. I think these will be fun to use with next month’s Cocoa Daisy rainbow-themed kit.
Those darn WRMK items are always so tempting. I got a little travel workspace, a felt ffolder (about 10x10) that unfolds to a couple of pockets, hard surface and clipboard. Seems like a cool thing to travel with. I have been known to scrapbook on a plane like a truly obsessive person. Gotta keep feeding the habit!

That was the only thing I got as it didn't seem like there was much new. If you look at the price tag sticker, in the upper right hand corner, you will see a few numbers. It says the month and year. Currently, most new stock says 320 (for March 2020). Sometime around the 20-25th, the date can start changing to the next month 420. Just in case you want to know if something is new or not. |

I might look through a magazine or try to plan a few layouts using my 5 x 7 Iris container of layouts, but to actually scrap? I have to wait to have a little table or pull out the ironing board for that! |

I’m into travel journals these days, packing a minimal kit and my zip printer. This WRMK has a little board in the center and the clipboard can hold papers or photos. It would be convenient to just fold it if you have to get up. That’s the plan anyway. It might be nice for your lap on car trips too. |

I stopped by this morning. They had a ton of paper. They definitely looked like they had new things, but I wasn’t really in the mood to go through all the hangers. The hangers looked like someone had just jammed random things on each one, rather than sorting anything. Some days I would take the time to browse, but not today.
