I have enough paper supplies to last me years except adhesive. I’m finally out of my favorite tape and my liquid glue is almost gone. I’m down to using old glue sticks. I won’t go to the store for just glue and I don’t want to order on line because the deliver people have enough to deal with. Just wondering what other crafters are running out of?

I'm glad that I picked up adhesive (2 packs of 1000 photo squares) and white cardstock yesterday during my once/week shopping trip - because I used up the last of my previous white cardstock plus about half of the new pack of 50 sheets and emptied 2 partial packs of 1/2 size photo squares, 1 partial pack of regular and broke into a new pack of regular.
I was looking for more elastic so not a special stop for the adhesive - sadly they were still out of stock.

Are there 2 of these same threads or am I losing my mind?

I get where you are coming from on not wanting to put more on the delivery people, but maybe you could order it from Amazon or another big box store and also take that opportunity to purchase some actual needs... toiletries, etc. If it all comes in one box they'd have to deliver it anyways...
Plus, I think spending money of any kind right now is helping. The economy is losing so much without people out spending money... we should be buying stuff if we can afford to.

Also, Amazon has notice on a lot of pages that they're prioritizing the shipping of "necessities," so you may have a shipping delay. Wouldn't be surprised if crafting adhesive has that notice. I also had the option on a handful of things to take a later delivery (like, Tuesday instead of Friday), and they offered a $3 credit for digital items. Don't know that I will use the credit but I appreciated the option to tell them I wasn't in a rush.

Nothing. I am running out of nothing. I have 36+ rolls of adhesive and I've gone through two this week.

I’ve gotten everything I’ve ordered rather quickly Except that thermometer I tried to buy that isn’t available til May. So I can’t say they are prioritizing necessities or not. I live within an hour of 2 Amazon warehouses it might just be demographics that my orders get here quickly.

Thankfully I have enough in the way of supplies as in New Zealand all non-essential businesses have had to close and couriers are only delivering food, pharmaceuticals and other essential products.

I was worrying about the postal service and couriers and then I stopped to think about those out of work, and others like my husband who have just lost some work and I realised people are mostly grateful to still be employed. Being able to say 'your health and safety comes first' is a privilege. Many people don't have the option to put their safety first. I refuse to made to feel guilty by anyone about continuing to purchase from Amazon and online. Our economies are on edge of collapsing. I'll do what I can to support. Order online is what I say!

I have noticed a delay of days (but not weeks or months) on non-essential items here in the UK. I'm happy to wait, I've got time...

I'm low on black cardstock. I plan to try to buy online from an independent craft store.

There’s nothing that I will run out of for a long, long while - and that includes adhesive. I have a large stash of it and apply it sparingly anyway (I don’t line the entirety of every edge because that much is not needed).

I would either pick it up when I had to go to the grocery store.. they always have at least stick glue. Or do an Amazon or go to scrapbook.com and order it. I don't know why you would hesitate on a delivery. 99% of the time they are cruising by my house anyways... and there are three houses just in my little triangle of homes that he makes one stop for all three houses. Not really anything that extra.
I'm not out of anything. I did buy a few months ago 3 big boxes of the square tabs to use as backup to my ATG gun. I am stocked on everything.

We haven't received any actual mail (junk or bills) since the middle of last week, which is very unusual so ordering something might give my mailman something to do... and I'd stop feeling stupid for going out to the mailbox and finding out we didn't get any mail. Who knew a pandemic was a cure for junk mail...now if my email junk mail would stop as well... ETA: I'm out of current photos. I ordered prints from Costco but they won't be here until April 7th or later...

I’m out of photos. I placed an order Sunday but they won’t be here for awhile. My adhesive stash is pretty solid and I have enough paper to go for a long time. I’m actually enjoying trying to use some things up. I bought a Vicki Boutin paper pad at TM last month and I realized that I had used over half of it.

I think I finally realized what I'd run out of first: mojo. I did force myself to copy pictures over (haven't moved anything from my phone or big camera in 6 to 8 months) but I haven't really had any desire to scrapbook. I took out a project for PL and have been doing a little bit here and there for the last few days, but haven't done more than a couple of minutes of anything on any day other than a bit of layered stamping a couple of days ago. Maybe I'll finish the spread before quarantine is over, lol.

Regular 12x12 page protectors. I have a bazillion divided page protectors in all sizes and configurations. I just ordered 8.5x11 page protectors. I scrap 12x12, but I am working on my adult children's albums. I use the letter size for all their award certificates, etc. I'm finding a lot of uses for the smaller pages and they slip right in with the 12x12.

I am running out of 8.5x11 page protectors. Amazon carries my style so I will order 2 or 3 boxes today. I got 3 boxes for Christmas of 50 each and have used them all.

I usually buy mine from Amazon, too. This time the price was $8.99! I used Google to find a better price elsewhere. I purchase from a place called Adorama. They shipped my order the next day.

I'm running low on white cardstock. I have textured white cardstock on the way from joann.com but I also like to have plain, smooth white cardstock on hand. I will look for some on my next Sam's Club run. Other than that I'm good. I have plenty of pictures, adhesive, blades for my paper trimmer, Silhouette cutting mat, and scrapbook supplies in general.

Motivation. Although I guess I never really had much motivation, so I don’t know if it counts as “running out”.
