Any updated information on the availability of OA Treasure Map &/or Daily Flash Summertime (that was quietly removed from the company website earlier this year, but still appears as a preorder/coming soon with online retailers)? IIRC both were last reported as end-of-June releases, but neither seems in stock anywhere. Thanks!

Thanks for asking the question; I'm sure lots of us would like to know. Why is it so hard to find their products? After waiting about a year, I finally found "Public Library" at ACOT and love it. (I almost always like their lines.) I think before our local Archivers closed, they had quit carrying OA, so it seems to be an elusive company. Maybe that's why it's so special to many of us. Maria

They are a very strange company. I wasn't fond of a lot of the pps with public library, but always love their embellishments, cut aparts, letter stickers, chipboard...
They keep showing up in kits (washi, die cut packs, a scattering of pps) so they are obviously still shipping product.
So why the issue getting new product to store? If they'd just let us understand, I think we'd be more patient.

I saw on Amazon when I was browsing that OA has fabric lines based on their paper lines. I wonder if they have been so busy getting their fabric lines in place that they have let the paper lines go on the wayside. I hope they can stay in business.

Does anyone know if websters pages and october afternoon are still in a partnership? I remember reading about that last year but haven't heard an update about that. So far it doesn't seem to be helping to get new lines out faster. I wish October afternoon could get their act together because I love their papers but I would not be surprised at all if they folded.

That fell apart about two days after it was announced. Thank goodness. I was really worried that the bad company OA would negatively affect the good company WP. It says a lot to me that big companies like scrapbook.com will no longer stock OA. |

Thanks for your responses. I hope these much anticipated (for 12+ months) lines are actually released! My sales rep says Treasure Map will ship out starting 7/31 but I'm not holding my breath... Thanks for sharing your information. At least a date is estimated, but, like you, I won't believe it until the physical product is in my hands! Given the company's antics & the economy, I'm also surprised any company - from a small/mom-n-pop LSS to a large online retailer like ACOT - is still willing or can afford to take a chance on chronically unreliable OA. I'm grateful for those few retailers who do because I enjoy the product...once available. |

I've seen OA's Public Library line pop up in quite a few SB kit clubs recently. I was surprised because I haven't seen it offered anywhere else but ACOT. Maybe they are scaling down their production?? Man, I hope not. OA is my all time favorite SB company.

I like a lot of their products but they're so difficult to find! But as I'm supposed to be frozen maybe that's a good thing!

ACOT has Daily Flash and Public Library in now, and Treasure Map products are showing (pictures, SKUs, prices), with the note "coming soon"... No connection to ACOT - placed my first order with them just last month... Right now the sale promo is -20%, until the end of August...

I'm determined not to look! Love OA and can't buy at the moment because I'm in the freezer ACOT has a points program... You can search for cherries on their website to get points (you get them from shopping and leaving reviews too, but the searching on their site is free)... I think I've seen every product that's come out in the last month because I've been trying to collect cherries...lol |

I was hoping the 7/31 date yielded actual shipment of one or both of these lines... Any updated information about availability? |

Daily Flash definitely is available at ACOT because I ordered it last month and have already made two LOs with it... But the link you posted is for Summertime and I'm not sure if what I ordered was from that Daily Flash or not - I'll check and let you know  I'm not sure if that was something I preordered - maybe those get sent out before regular/in stock orders?? Treasure Map just appeared on their "coming soon" list/the pictures/SKUs/prices were just uploaded - based on how soon other "coming soon" items move to "available", I'd guess them to be available this month... Their customer service is great though so if you sent them an email I'm guessing they'd say what date they have for that one |

When I was ACOT,the Summertime collection was not available. It still all says "notify me".
I just placed my first oder with ACOT and it arrived very quickly (in 4 days). I earned 166 points!

I hope OA continues! I love their lines, it is my fav paper to scrap with. If they produce it I will buy it, most of the time. I just wish they would get their act together! And actually produce something!

The thing about OA is that no matter what they do, no matter which retailers drop them, the people that love the company profess over and over that they'll buy no matter what. Where's the impetus to improve when your fans will follow and give you money no matter what you do or where you go? They can be as lax as they want, do whatever they want to retailers, and people will still wait, and stalk, and wonder about them until they finally produce product for them to buy.

Never ordered from them, but Daily Flash Summertime is showing in stock here www.scrapbookdoodle.com/summertime.html I have a bunch of the other Daily Flash - Snapshot, Apple Cider, Milk Money, etc... Not sure if that helps - I'm in Canada and only shop a bit online, and the wait for stuff to come up here is always longer so I don't pay much attention to release dates... |

I'm not surprised that so many small stores pass on OA based on what everybody says. Their opening order is too steep for me and my small biz, so I just go when they have a warehouse sale and buy the stuff I want then. I pick the papers I think might work for my upcoming kit themes from what they have available. That way I don't have to deal with any of the drama of choosing something for a kit and then having to scramble to find something else when it doesn't show up on time. There will probably be another warehouse sale coming up in the fall.

Maybe they are scaling down their production?? Man, I hope not. OA is my all time favorite SB company. It was a Scrapbook Steal earlier this week and sold out pretty fast. I thought that was strange since I haven't seen it anywhere really. |

ACOT is a great site to buy from. They ship fast and package your items well. I didn't know about the cherries somehow so thanks to the person who mentioned them!
Aeryn, I understand what you're saying, I too get frustrated, but I just love their designs. It's simply too hard to say no. With the amount of stuff I have anyway it doesn't technically matter to me when the line gets released.
