So I went a little crazy and scoured eBay when I read the news about BG. I have been purchasing some collections I missed over the years as I find them, but with this announcement I was concerned that would make it more difficult in the future. Lucky I did because I was able to find Porcelain which I have been searching for since I found a few measly individual papers at GASC quite a while after it was released. Yay!
Anyone else want to admit to any purchases?

That's awesome you were able to find what you wanted!
I haven't gone looking for anything. I feel like bought what I wanted when I saw it over the years. I hope I don't regret that, but I have so much paper it's hard to justify. LOL!

Ohhhh, we were supposed to justify it?  My scrappy times have been off and on over the years, by choice or by budget, so I missed pockets of time. So glad to be able to make up for it! BTW...I don't remember the thread but several peas were mentioning missing the card kits. I have seen tons of them in eBay and Fotobella. |

LOL! I did have a time frame from having a baby & moving where I missed some collections, but then they showed up in my Tuessday Morning last year so I snatched them up. |

Nothing on eBay, but I did get the warehouse box. I figured that would be enough for now. Just a day or two before the announcement, I also bought a Persimmon "Layer Cake" of fabric to make a quilt top. I just love that paper line. My BG fix will have to come from fabric from now on. That is once my stash runs out in 2050!

I bought the Olivia collection on Amazon the day I found out BG was stopping production.

I bought a couple of collections on ebay and directly from BG on the day of their announcement.I'd rather pay full price than have regrets.

I bought Persimmon on e-bay. I wanted it when people (not me) were finding it at Tuesday Morning last year but my store never got it, now it will be mine and TM will probably get a giant shipment tomorrow...

I was stockpiling BG long before their announcement. their new releases were getting worse for the past few years so I stock pile the older collections that I loves whenever I saw them for sale here and there.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! When I was talking to DH about it he got it immediately. He said, it's sort of like Tim Duncan retiring Longtime favorite, and one of the reasons I really got into the craft/sport. LOL he *so* gets me |
