Happy (almost) July! My Tuesday Morning has been pretty dead. What about y'all? I only bought one thing within the last few weeks and I forgot to post about it because I used it right away! So this is the one thing I bought about 2 weeks ago. This little We R Memory Keepers magnetic cutting mat (5x7 size). I have been looking for something small like this to take with me to crops. I actually found it right before I headed over to my monthly crop, opened it immediately and used it several times that day. So I'm sorry to say I do not have the SKU for this because I tossed the packaging. (stock photo) Not sure on SKU. I think it was $3.99 (I also threw away my receipt as it was the only thing I had bought that day and I had no intention of returning it!)  They also had the big pink American Crafts cutting mats for $14.99, incase anyone is looking for a big cutting mat. Then today DS had a really hard day at speech therapy and I was STRESSED OUT. TM is near speech therapy. Bad combo  I did a little mommy retail therapy and totally scored! I found:  Jillibean Soup Owloween Stew SKU 1554723 $1.99 Jillibean Soup Witches Brew SKU 1554724 $1.99 Pebbles Front Porch SKU 1556878 $2.99 (has lots of nice masculine prints) Pebbles Lakeside SKU 1556878 $2.99 (same SKU as above, so beware if calling around) American Crafts Welcome Spring 1556877 $2.99 (total impulse purchase b/c I loved the bunnies) KI Memories Washi Tapes. These are nice! All were $1.49 Labels 1554722 (says to, from, date, important) Red Chevron 1554731 Daily (days of the week - great for PL!) 1554729 Clouds (MY FAVORITE) 1554732 Yeah, so I think I increased my 6x6 pad stash with this haul by 100%. Ha. DS and I are on our own tonight so I think we might hit another store we don't normally go to after dinner. I'll let you know if we find anything! |

On one had, I get to live vicariously through you shopoholics....

Oh, that magnetic pad would fit perfectly in a DVD case for my DIY stamping tool. I didn't see those at my TM. I'll have to keep checking, right?

I got it at TM with some other tools in a set. Didn't really know how I might use it. Now I am thinking I could do the same as you. Will need to see how it sits on the plate. I am using 2 acrylic plates from an 8x8 album. |

GiantsFan look for pink ones too. I guess some stores got them in pink and others got them in blue. Really great idea to use one in the DIY stamping case! angel97701 your store must have gotten some good folders! My store got a stack, but they were mostly multiples of the same patterns that I couldn't use. I was kind of sad when I got finished rooting through them all  So... DS and I did hit up the other a Tuesday morning that's far away tonight. Lol! I did find some good stuff though! And I found d two Melissa & Doug craft kits that are awesome birthday party gifts for $3 each. Total clearance score! Plus these scrappy goodies  We R Memory Keepers Wood Stickers Cakes & Candles $1.99 SKU 1541453 amy Tan Badges $1.49 1541452 Pebbles Die Cut Shapes $1.49 1541454 AC 6x6 #Summer pad $2.99 1540434 BG Snippets from RSVP line $.99 1535024 i was happy to find the birthday stuff bc I realized I have little birthday-themed goodies. I've used a ton! I was also excited to find the #summer pad bc DS's swimsuit is line green this summer and I've had trouble matching paper with it. This has the perfect color!

Oh! I also did a layout using the Hey Boy 6x6 pad chendra found for me at her TM! Thanks again!  I'm working my way through the 6x6 paper pad class that Jen Schow has on YouTube and this is scraplifted from her 4th video lesson I turned mine into a two pager bc I just had too many photos I wanted to use! The train paper in the pad inspired me to print some of the pics I have of DS playing with trains over the last couple of years and do a compilation page. I'm really happy with how this turned out and I used a lot of TM goodies on here. Stickers from the BG Capture collection, the BG Hey Boy pad, BG Hey You chipboard, Amy Tan puffy stickers... woohoo!  |

Alissa, that layout is great. It flows so nicely. I love the train papers too!
You've picked up some cute things already and it's not even July yet! I particularly like the bright summer colours in both of the AC 6x6 pads!

Love your layout! My TM has been a bit of a dud lately so nothing really fun to report. I've just picked up some paper packs that had a good neutral B side.

alissa103 - we are not getting anything this good at the Rivergate TM. I went today and walked out with nothing scrappy. Are you shopping Franklin or Hillsboro Pike? Thanks for sharing your finds!

alissa103 Thank you so much for posting the SKUs. You saved me a ton of time and gas money! I called the product finder phone # and neither of the two TM that I go to had anything. Ironically, the store by my mom (who lives 50 miles away) had just about everything. I was just at mom's on Sunday and I didn't stop in her TM because I had the three girls with me and they always make it difficult to shop. I hate to ask my mom to go, she is 84 and I'm afraid she wouldn't get what I wanted. Thanks again for posting the SKUs. I'll keep calling to see if my TM gets any of the goodies.

My store has sucked lately. I keep hoping they will get something good but am tired of wasting time and gas at this point. I also don't need anything but it sure is fun if you find s good deal. I love seeing what others are finding. .

I don't go to Tuesday Morning very often because there isn't a decent one near me, but this weekend I had a chance to go to one out of town and the craft aisle was full! I bought:
Tim Holtz Tissue Tape
A Tim Holtz die (index tab)
2 packs of Basic Grey (one Christmas themed and one fall themed)
2 packs of Heidi Swapp (the papers that go with the PL kits she did)
American Crafts Metallic Markers
Heidi Swapp Glitter Markers
Echo Park paper pack (Simple Life)
Dena Sizzix pad-foldable paper boxes
One metallic stamp pad--can't remember the brand

I was there today and spent just over $7 on 6 items! Happy score for me!! I bought 5 Darice embossing folders for 99 cents each! Rulers, Floral, Travel postmarks, Polaroid, and Plaid. And I bought a JB Owloween 6x6" paper pad for $1.99 I totally limited myself this morning because I could easily have walked out with a hundred dollars in product. They had: some Spellbinders die sets for $15.99 Both 12x12" & 6x6" paper pads galore. They had stuff I'm still seeing in M's at full price. Of course a lot of random stickers. They had WRMK project life type cards. Kits for $3.99 and smaller packs for 99 cents. They had large punches. And a Sizzix manual die cutting machine for $19.99 - I'm a bad scrapper, because I can't remember what it's called. It was smaller and reminded me of a purse (in looks) They had some Tim Holtz dies for under ten bucks. Lots of washi tape. Lots of fine glitter. Some glittery scrapbook markers. Small Ott lights. Now that I reread all that I type, I was a very very good girl for spending just over seven bucks.  |

I picked up a couple of D ring albums, christmas washi, stencils bakers twine, Darci embossing folder and a huge pack of letter stickers. My store didn't have any 6 by 6 pads.

Not sure if it was 24 x 18 or maybe even 36 x 24, big enough to be on the bottom shelf all by itself. Yup, I thought the smaller one would be good for card makers or people who scrap 8x11 or mini books. The big one was big enough for a double page spread with extra room at the top. |

I mostly shop Hillsboro. But I seriously go every week while DS has speech therapy over there. So my suggestion is to go OFTEN, especially if your store is close to you. And out where you are, I highly recommend the store in Hermitage! That's the one I scored the stuff on Tuesday evening - the photo with the #Summer pad, RSVP snippets, etc. That store is really good pretty consistently, although I think I got the last #summer pad so those are gone at that store. I make a trip over there every couple of months if I want a little road trip. I also had almost a three week drought were they had NOTHING GOOD. I didn't buy anything! Good for my wallet, but sad to walk out empty handed. |

Woohoo LavenderLayoutLady!!! You were a good girl but you got some awesome goodies, too! I know, I hold myself back a lot. Like I try so hard not to buy 12x12 pads because it's too much paper for me to use. But it's hard! Lol! |

They only had ugly green ones last time I checked. |

Well. After following the TM threads for ages, I finally went online and looked to see if there was a TM in my city and anywhere near me.
And there is! There is one store about 10 min away and another across town. So last night I jumped in my car and eagerly drove to the nearest store and..... It had just closed! Apparently it closes at 7 pm and I was 1 min too late. LOL
In my eagerness to find the location, I forgot to check the store hours. What a goof I am. LOL
The plan is to go this morning - but first I will check to see when they open!
