I don't want to think about it.  I went to a actual scrapstore. I "discovered" Pinkfresh. JoAnn's had a sale, that included new AC releases. Pinkfresh grab box. Enough said lol... |

oh dear...I'm not sure I want to list that all in one place
today I got a box from scrapbook.com - with a couple of collection kits, some ephemera packs, a sticker book, 2 pops of colour, and a hexagon punch
earlier this week I got a box from scrapbook generations with a couple of collection kits, and 2 nuvo drops
I've picked up 4 albums and a banner punch plus photo squares and trimmer blades at HL recently - oh and some stickers on clearance
earlier in the quarter? some cardstock, random PP, some more stickers, more adhesive, some clearance albums...
Oh and 2 Alex units, 1 lagkapitan desktop, 1 3x3 kallax, and some containers for organising
Where is that frozen thread again? I seriously need to hop back into the deep freeze. Especially since I have a box coming tomorrow from Pinkfresh...
I'm pretty sure that's more than I've bought in several years combined and I'm DONE shopping for a good while now

In May I used some birthday money and treated myself to an order a A Cherry On Top.
Some of it was pre-order, so I am still in the waiting zone. Looking forward to my new stuff arriving.
I got various products(stickers and paper):
Cocoa Vanilla
Mintay
Doodlebug
Asuka Studio

I ordered some Simple Stories stuff during a cheapscrapbookstuff.com deal of the week. So my order was 25% off of their regular 10% prices. Awesome. I got some Good Stuff and Happy Hearts.
A couple of days ago I bought an Echo Park Slice of Summer sticker book on Amazon that should be arriving momentarily. Such fun colors. I don't have any more of the collection but I'm sure I have paper that would go well with it.

I didn't really want to list it either! My list is very long. To make myself feel better I won't list every single individual item haha.
The Lilypad- $100 certificate / 20 orders
5 x bundles/collection
11 x kits
1 x template
1 x stamps/brushes
1 x CU (commercial use to make my own papers)
1 x misc. elements
The Digital Press - $58.05 / 17 orders
7 x bundles/collection
11 x kits
2 x templates
1 x cut files
Katie Pertiet - $125.43 / 14 orders
1 x bundles/collections
21 x templates
9 x misc. elements
Other stores - $?
7 x kits
I normally wouldn't spend so much at Katie Pertiet's store, but I spent a lot on the Spectrum Sherbet collection in May. That was my biggest ever spend on one collection, over $50 all up.

I bought most of it over a weekend at a scrapbook retreat and during the week or two afterwards, in May. It was a lot.
I bought:
The new Vicki Boutin line
A bunch of the new Heidi Swapp line
A good amount of Round Trip (Maggie Holmes) -- I don't usually care for Maggie Holmes although I enjoy what others do with her stuff, but this was a winner for me. Gorgeous.
Pretty much every single bit of Let's Get Crafty.
Most of the 49 & Market Sherbet collection, which I had no idea existed until I came across it at my scrapbook store. I went nuts.
Some of the newer BoBunny stuff
A little of the new Jen Hadfield stuff.
I also bought various other things that caught my fancy including a Catherine Pooler mini ink pad.
Then I spent about $50 with the CTMH lady at the scrapbook retreat, and I also signed up to be a demonstrator so I can get a bit of a discount on their postbound albums, which I decided I am switching to because the big WRMK style D-Ring binders are not holding up well and they are too cumbersome to look through. I placed a first small order with CTMH as well.
I think I also spent close to $100 with the CM lady at the retreat.
I restocked the blue Kokuyo adhesive refills, so a half-dozen of those.
I also spent at least $100 on stuff at the Container Store for my little paper crafting studio.
The Pinkfresh grab bag came the other day.
There's probably more.
I had spent very little on scrappy stuff in the last year or year and a half, but sheesh. That was a lot of money all in just a few weeks.

I also bought way more in Q2 than I did in Q1. I bought some basics (adhesive, page protectors), and placed an order with sb.com for some of the Spectrum Sherbet line along with a few other things. I also picked up some Freckled Fawn embellishments from a sale they had earlier in the quarter, and also bought a destash from fb marketplace (which I have absolutely no regrets over).
I also bought the Allison Davis sketch class that is due to start soon.
I'm planning to keep my spending a bit tighter during Q3, although if my online lss puts the new Cocoa Vanilla collection on sale I will buy it, as I've so far avoided caving into the temptation.

I placed an order on ACOT. I bought some random things, EP's Fall Fever collection, and the Storyteller collection. I didn't buy the entire collections, but a good amount. I am actually almost out of fall papers, which surprised me. I had a GC from Mother's day, so that paid for a lot of it.
I also bought a 5x5 Kallax last month.

... I went to a actual scrapstore. ... You're lucky (although I realize your bank account may not agree)! There are no LSSs left here, & I miss the in-person supply shopping experience - perusing entire walls bursting with a rainbow of Bazzill cardstock, aisles filled with multiple racks of patterned papers, pegs full of embellishments & tools, etc. <sigh> |

Unless it was changed since I was last there, San Diego CA doesn't have one, there isn't one in the Minneapolis/St. Paul MN proper (there are a couple on the outskirts) there are none in Phoenix, AZ proper. I am just surprised that the bigger cities can't support a scrapbooking store. |

I fell off the wagon in a big way during Q2. I bought entirely too much Spectrum Sherbet, Simple Stories Celebrate, Sun Chaser, Bo Bunny Beautiful Things, and some bits and pieces of Sugar Rush, Get Crafty, Happy Heart and New Day. There are a few more things I would really like. I have some photos that would be perfect with 49 & Market Viken, but I’m trying to resist.
I’ve noticed that I haven’t been scrapping as much in Q2, so my shopping went up. I do better at restricting my shopping when I’m actively scrapping.
Back on the wagon (hopefully) for Q3.

I've only purchased the AC papers by the sheet from JoAnn. I'm planning to get back there this week and maybe use a coupon on either embellishments or a 6x8 pad. I'm thinking about placing an order with ACOT soon, but I'm still slowly filling my cart. Maybe I'll head over there now and see if they have a pre-order for the newest PinkFresh. Enablers! Update: Ordered  |

Monthly subs from Paper Person, Ali E, and Heidi Swapp +
49 and Market Sherbet Spectrum
Bunch of HS stamps
A few PP stamps during her big sale
A few Kerri B stamps
Some eBay stamps from sweet stamp shop and close to my heart
Ali E Week in the life collection items, Travel collection items
I owned a handful of stamps a year ago and I am now kind of out of control so definitely need to reign it in.

I guess I was thinking more like Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler, and by the airport Phoenix. I lived in Tempe for about 6 years and there were so many scrap stores I could just run to in like 5-10 min. I felt like Peoria was on the other side of the moon, lol. I forget how big the Valley is. |

I tell myself I’m not buying anything much but when it came to answering this I couldn’t easily remember, so maybe not as little as I think.
I got a few retiring stamps and dies at Honey Bee during a sale, some throwing good money after bad, getting dies for a stamp set I struggle to use. But I also got the lovely layers sunflower die which is really lovely.
Then I heard about a red white and blue card drive, an excuse to buy supplies, so I bought Doodlebug paper, die cuts, and matching card stock, and a star wreath die. I actually used up all of the themed stuff right away making cards for the drive so I felt OK about that, and the extra cardstock in basic colors gets added to stash. The star wreath I justified as being good for all holidays and then I promptly forgot about it when I started making Christmas cards. Lol. I better cut that out if some fancy cs and add it to my Christmas drawer as a reminder.
I also threw in a Catherine Pooler stamp I’ve been coveting but I have only used it once so far. So thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for your response & hope everyone enjoys their hauls! Although not on a self-imposed freeze, I bought nothing this quarter (& only Sizzix Magnetic Sheets & Storage Envelopes to organize my relatively small inventory of non-Quickutz dies during Q1). Here's to shopping in Q3... You're lucky (although I realize your bank account may not agree)!

With the ease of online shopping & expense of rent/utilities/wages/etc., combined with pandemic-related issues (e.g. interrupted supply chain, coin shortages, labor shortage), it's unsurprising & also unfortunate for those of us who appreciate the in-person & tactile shopping experience! To your point, I live in the largest city in the state & 15th largest in the country & am without a LSS. The closest two LSSs are both in small towns located ~1.5 hour drive (one way) in opposite directions from me & have limited hours (e.g. 10:00a-5:00p only 3 days/week). UGH. |

I lived in the Virginia suburbs of DC before moving to Texas. Every LSS closed by at least 5 years or more before covid. Goldenshill, a paper arts store opened in Clifton, VA, about the time the last LSS closed. I don’t know if they survived COVID or not. I moved away in 2016. I was excited when I moved to the DFW area of Texas. There were 4 LSS and one stamp store. The stamp store closed shortly after I moved here. At least 3 if the 4 LSS are still in business, as far as I know, but the two closest are a 40 minute drive (different directions), and the best is over an hour’s drive though white knuckle traffic. I personally prefer to shop in person, but with gas prices being sky high, I’m not sure I can justify driving to any of them anytime soon. Two of them seem to still be thriving, based on the emails I get. I hope they survive. |

The Little Blue House in N Richland Hills is now more of a craft place, and most of that is by subscription. Not sure it’s even open to the public anymore. |
