So very sad hat the last TM in my area is closing. It was a great ride. RIP TM.

I made my last purchase on Saturday. I guess we won't be running into each other in the TM aisles anymore! Maybe we should get together and scrap instead! Do you have a group you scrap with? Mine has moved or gotten into quilting. Do you ever go to Simple Pleasures? I have two scrappy friends and we try to regularly get together and scrap. I do stop in at Simple Pleasures from time to time. In fact, I was on Cathy's design team for about 5 years. Maybe we can do a crop there together? I'll look up the next date and let's see if we can make that happen! |

All Colorado and Utah stores are closing. According to the employee, stores that have a 90% profit are the ones staying open. Texas stores seem to have escaped the cut. Their HQ is in Texas with their distribution center being in Dallas, I believe. So...it makes sense since they spend a lot less on distribution there, meaning the profit margins are higher. They aren’t staying open, or at least not all of them. There are two within 10-45 min of me that are closing. Another closed within the last couple of years. |

Oh no! I looked and two within an hour of me are closing. Then there will be none near me. What a bummer!

The one I go to is closing too. I am going to make a little roadtrip tomorrow I think, to see if they have anything for my she-shed. I need a couple of pillows and a rug. LOL

scrappinwithoutpeas I went to the one in Rose Hill last weekend. I got a few Thickers (my weakness) and some small canvases for DH (he's been watching Bob Ross and got a small painting kit a few weeks ago). There seemed to be more scrappy stuff than last time I'd stopped in, but nothing I had to have (apart from those 5 Thickers packs I bought).

I stopped by the Denton, TX TM today. They verified that they are staying open. They had a modest variety of things in the craft section, including a couple of different stamp platforms, and I considered buying two or three items, but decided that I probably wouldn’t use them. What was a bit shocking, though, was that the store obviously had less in the way of products overall, throughout the store. The last time I stopped by, it was very full of a variety of things to buy.
