I did some shopping at both A Cherry On Top and Scrapbook.com. Yay! I picked up some of the Maggie Holmes Sweet Story collection, Crate Paper’s Fresh Bouquet collection, and Heidi Swapp’s Old School collection. They are very different from each other but I think I’ll find a use for all three! Heidi Swapp’s collection in particular is calling my name. What have you purchased lately?

I ordered two entire Cocoa Vanilla collections via preorder from ACOT and a couple of new colors today to my Distress Oxide’s. I almost forgot..... I bought a WRMK Glue Quill and replacement pens from J’s.

I just saw Photo plays Dragon line and I may not be able to resist it. Other than that possible purchase I have purchased only a paper pad from Goodwill.

I placed a pre-order not long ago for some Cocoa-Vanilla and PinkFresh. They won't be in until September, so I'll be shopping my stash for the next couple of months.
I'm trying to sit on my hands while I wait for Vicki Boutin to reveal her next line. That's the only shopping I'm really looking forward to.

Nothing for me lately other than my PL sub. I’m holding out for DD goodies.

I pre-ordered the new Cocoa Vanilla collection (Daydream) although it turned out to be so popular at my online lss that I have to wait until late Aug for it. And I'm waiting for the foodie FYC kit to get to me although it currently appears to be stuck in NY.

Haha What haven’t I gotten??? LOL I’ve been to two Vegas SB stores and spent almost $200, then bought a couple things online that I wanted that those stores didn’t have from Paper Issues and Scrapbook.com. Also bought an exclusive kit for She Loves Color from Bella Blvd. I think I may be missing something, but that’s enough! 🤣

My Tonic Studios order arrived today. My Ranger order arrived at a friend’s house today. Scrapbook .com should be here Tuesday. (I already have my cart filled again.) I placed a micheals order for pick up tomorrow. I really need to get back in the classroom. Anxiety shopping is going to land me in the poor house (but with tons of pretty paper!)

I was going to be good and just use what I had to make 8 layouts of Estes Park. Then my LSS posted that they had the kits of Simple Stories Simple Vintage Great Escape. Then a favorite YouTuber posted an adorable layout using this line. And I had a majestic photo or two that needs that paper... so...

I purchased this Doodlebug North Pole Value Bundle on clearance and was thrilled with the goodies I received. The colors are perfect for my DD this year. www.scrapbook.com/store/db-6208.html

Well I preordered H.S Old School at ACOT last month.
For the last 3 weeks my order has been on hold for the washi tape. Today I had enough and ordered everything at SB.com and asked to cancel my ACOT order.
I also ordered CP Hey Pumpkin and am on hold for 2 darn items. I am giving that a bit of time as I don't need it now. But it SB.com gets it in, I will cancel and order through them.
I am so over ACOT getting certain items super late after other stores get the items.
And I shouldn't have to wait and then ask to ship what they have an pay shipping again.
Ship what you have and be a kind company and ship the other items when they come in. Even if I pay $1. I would do that.

I have $86 worth of items in my scrapbook.com cart and I'm trying hard not to submit the order. I haven't been using my current supplies, and I don't make a lot of money, this isn't the time to drop so much on new toys!

I just spent $311 at Concord and 9th on the full ink pad collection and the card stock collection. I would have got the reinker collection but it was sold out. So I saved $100.
The colors are amazing. So happy with my purchase and have been playing a ton!

I wanted the full sized pads but I had just placed orders with scrapbook.com, SSS and Altenew the day before so couldn’t justify the cost. I promised my credit card I wouldn’t touch it again until September so it had time to cool off.

I shopped the Elle’s Studio sale (should get my goodies tomorrow) and also picked up a stamp and the Positivity Passport from Everyday Explorers. I tried to limit my purchases in July and use some of my supplies. Sort of. Good thing tomorrow is August!
I’m leaning toward getting the Photoplay Christmas line but also maybe the SS Vintage North Pole line (before they sell out), but I know I will be interested in whatever Felicity Jane puts out for xmas. Not to mention all the other DD/xmas stuff we haven’t seen yet. And I already have SO MUCH xmas stuff - it’s my weakness.

Last week (?) I bought WRMK & PL cards at the Dollar Tree.
Yesterday I bought small detail scissors (for fussy cutting) & a "summer" sticker pack from the Dollar Tree.

I am trying to switch from post bound to 3 ring, so stocking up on the 3 ring and also page protectors. However I did treat myself to the Gina K Nature's Touch stamp set last month!

This is a big issue with the way that we do things right now and it's been bugging me as well. Pre-ordering a line is convenient, but it's also a risk in that your whole order will be held up if AC (for example) doesn't send us some of the items in the line in our first shipment. We're always happy to help out if you contact us - we can remove items from your order and refund so the rest can ship immediately, or we can backorder so the missing items will ship later when they come in. I get that's annoying to have to do though. As a first step, we're just about ready to roll out an updated order status page that will show exactly what the status of each item in your order is. It will also give you the option to have us ship what we have now without having to contact us. I'd be happy to hear feedback from any of you that shop with us on what that should look like.

I'd love to order something but Scrapbook.com and ACOT haven't had a lot of new collections lately. We must be in a slow period between releases. I have some staples in my cart (cardstock, ink, etc.) but I'm waiting for there to be a fantastic new collection to hit the button.
I did buy some Not Just For Boys this morning.

Matt at ACOT I really like that ACOT has preorder, because I can ensure that I get all the items I want from a collection and not have to hunt around and hope they don’t got out of stock. I’m not usually in a huge hurry to get items, because I’m usually ordering things because I like them, not because I’m working on a current project and NEED them soon (I certainly have enough stash to make it through!). I also like the 20% off for preorders - that helps offset the shipping for me. I have had instances where ACOT backordered an item that was slow to arrive and shipped my order, with the backordered item shipped free later. I thought that was good CS. I also appreciate the emails that notify me that you “haven’t forgotten” and are waiting on some items to arrive. I think adding the option for the customer to have the order shipped (possibly after a certain window of when the items were anticipated to arrive) and then the backordered item ships free, would be a great option!

I think adding the option for the customer to have the order shipped (possibly after a certain window of when the items were anticipated to arrive) and then the backordered item ships free, would be a great option! My thoughts exactly, too! I am so grateful to ACOT for the preorder option. I love getting things all from one place. ACOT often has 20% coupon offers which really help. I don’t care how long things take to receive since I am happy to be able to order what I want all at one time. The customer service at ACOT is outstanding!! There is never a problem with contacting them by phone or email. I recently had a preorder of Dina Wakley gloss sprays and noticed I had order one incorrect color. I sent an email to ACOT and they quickly responded with a very friendly note about making that change for me. Customer service is important to me having worked in customer service all of my life. I’d like to add that their shipping is really reasonable and fast. I am so pleased they are offering Cocoa Vanilla now. CV is one of my favorites but shipping from Australia was pricey. All of this adds up to why they are my store of choice.

The pandemic has probably set manufacturing back a bit as well. Things are messy all over the place.

So back to the topic of the OP.....
I splurged and bought myself marker cubbies from Organizemore. I really wanted some when that original company was selling them way back when, but thought that buying 3 all at once was too pricey. That proved to be so wrong! Now I paid twice the price. Live and learn.
They won't be here for a while, but I knew that upfront.

I've been really good - I was out of white cardstock so DH picked me up some after Michaels 'lost' my kerbside order a couple of weeks ago and I got adhesive at HL last week but that's it. I certainly don't NEED anything - even with donating a stack of PP, my paper shelves overfloweth.

I splurged on the Ali Edwards Ups and Downs kit, but I have to admit I'm disappointed with it. I'll use some of the elements, but IMHO it wasn't worth the price.
