Lots of Tim Holtz Halloween and Christmas items this week! They repackaged a lot of Idea-ology this year, so the last year's packages are in TM stores. I came out with the biggest haul in a long time - more washi, tokens, mirrored hearts, baseboards, flashcards, trims, foam alpha stamps, plastic alpha letters. I already have a big TH stash, so that was just items I don't already have. I love making shadow boxes and 3D projects for holidays, so these will all get some good use. The Echo Park embellishments keep rolling in, again with lots of Christmas, including enamel dots and epoxy stickers (so cute!). They also have G45 papers - Day at the Races, Masquerade and Vintage Hollywood - in various sizes. I'm envious, our store had the paper pad, washi and glitter paper for halloween and 2 foam stamps. That was it for the last 2 weeks. I have a friend in California. I live in Texas, but only have for the last couple of years. My friend and I swap notes when we visit TM. Some stores get items in sooner than others. Sometimes they show up at her stores first, sometimes at mine. And sometimes only one of us hits crafty gold. My store might get good stuff while hers gets different items that are not the ones she wanted, and vice versa. Months can go by with nothing good, then suddenly we hit pay dirt. Keep checking your stores. They might get stuff two or three weeks later than the stores you read about here. Find out when your stores get their shipments, and how soon they typically have it on the shelves. When my friend gives me a heads up, I start haunting my stores, and so does she. I am recovering from surgery and won't be shopping any time soon. My husband would have to drive me. However, as interesting as these goodies sound, they aren't anything I am going to feel bad about missing. I had a moment of agony when I heard about the Graphic 45, but then I realized that none of the papers are lines I cared much about. Happy shopping to the rest of you! Hopefully those who have not seen the good stuff at their stores will see it show up next week. Unfortunately, some stores do NOT get what other stores do. It's aggravating at times.

I took a trip to the 2nd best TM in our area today and I was disappointed! Not too many new things. I saw two sets of the Doodlebug sticker packs, girl and fall; neither set works for my style of scrapbooking. I have two boys and live in Florida; we don't do "fall" here!
I did buy a couple of fun things:
Tattered Angels glimmer mist, 5 pack (soooo excited about this!) Crate Paper Main Squeeze 12x12 chipboard Crate Paper Main Squeeze stamp set Teresa Collins woodgrain label stickers
I have to drive down to the town where my favorite TM is next week to pick up my books for school. I'm hoping to find the boy stickers from Doodlebug and more of the Main Squeeze collection.

My TM had an extra 25% off clearance for this weekend. The Minc tempted me at that price (close to what fashionista paid), but I don't NEED one. Want is very powerful though...
They restocked all the WRMk tools. I thought I bought the last mini scoreboard (that I mentioned previously), but there were two more there yesterday.

My TM had a full cart in the aisles of WRMK boards. Full to the top. If one store had that many, I am guessing they will be all over the US soon. My store is already receiving merchandise marked for September. Usually it comes a week early at the end of the month, but this shipment was three weeks early. We've had a lot of Carta Bella and Echo park, some TH, and a few paper pads here and there.

I stopped by my closest store and there wasn't a Tim piece to be found. Was I too late? The whole row was thin.

Lol..have to laugh because I got on the boards to check on something. Got side tracked when I saw Tuesday Morning! Love that store! TA product locator phone number is 1-800-901-0881. I just did a Tuesday morning haul video a couple of days ago. If your interested I do give the product numbers so you can call. My store had quite a bit of doodlebug a couple of weeks ago, still a bit left, but I did not purchase any Doodlebug. Way too much good stuff. It seems like they have had a lot of really good stuff lately. Problem is I want to buy all of it to share on my haul videos. I bet my spending habits for TA have increased x 5 since I started to making the haul videos... Gotta figure out a way not to buy it all! Here is a link to my last TA haul video: www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=cfoSF909T3g

I live in Canada, but I’m going to the States for a few days this week. I’ve scoped it out, and there’s a couple of Tuesday Mornings on the way to where we’re going. Already warned hubby. Hoping that they’re close enough to the highway that we can visit them. And hoping they have tons and tons of scrappy goodies. I can’t wait!

My sweet husband drove me to Tuesday Morning today. They had a ton of Die'sire dies I had never seen before, a few BoBunny packs of paper, lots of packaged paper collections, WRMK tools (I got the mini scoreboard others have mentioned), some glitter brushes that look similar to Wink of Stella glitter brush pens, a ton of 6x6 pads of paper, lots of Halloween and Christmas, and the craft aisle looked well stocked.

Funny I’m reading this right now. On Fridays I go to visit my Dad and often stop at a store while I’m out. Earlier dh and I were talking about me going to see my Dad tomorrow and just now he said “are you going to any of your stores tomorrow?” I plan to hit Tuesday Morning but don’t hold much hope of seeing the great stuff that I’ve been seeing on the YouTube videos. I’d like some Christmas stuff, preferably Echo Park paper, ephemera, enamel dots and brads. I’ll check in after I shop Tom!

I saw lots of Echo Park today, including some really cute Christmas embellishments - enamel alphas, stickers, layered stickers. Tons of new AC 6x6 pads of all sorts.

Just FYI, although the product number has worked well for me in the past, I seriously wonder if it is working right now.
I put in several SKU#s of items I bought yesterday, including the WRMK mini scoreboard. They had a ton of them. I doubt they could have sold them all after I left there.
I put in several other SKU#s, too. Every single one got me the statement that there were none in my area. The chances of that happening are very small. I have called and used the system in the past when I was trying to find more than one of an item (not scrap stuff). I always, always found at least one or two other stores that had the item.
So even though you may have checked and gotten that message, it still might be worth checking your Tuesday Morning, if it's near your other errands, work, or whatever. I think their system is down.
Edited to add: After going in person to the stores, I know for sure the product line is NOT working as it should be. Items that were in stock at a store that visited were supposedly nowhere in my area according to the product hotline. It lied.

I was hoping to find enamel dots, but no luck. I did buy 3 Darice brand embossing folders.

I didn’t have much luck today. They did have a lot of punch boards and I almost bought the frame one but really don’t see using it much. They had the Carousel chipboard but I’m not crazy about it. I talked to the two women working there and they said they’re lucky to get 100 pieces of scrapbooking stuff a week. They said the stores in the south have far bigger craft departments than they do. They also said that I should shop on Tuesdays since their truck comes in on Monday.

They also said that I should shop on Tuesdays since their truck comes in on Monday. I don't know how many TM stores you have in your area, but in Northern Virginia where I used to live, there were several. The one closest to me did not get much crafty stock. It was pathetic most of the time, althugh once in awhile, I hit the jackpot. Sometimes it paid to go visit the stores that were a bit farther away. I figured out which ones got more craft items, but sometimes it is just plain luck. I don't know why. My DH drove me to five different TM stores in the last two days. Of the five, only two had anything I wanted to buy. We have a lot of stores in the area where I live, but they are so spread out. The ones we went to were in the vicinity of the Ikea and one LSS. They were not stores I get to often. One that I had been to and hit jackpot before had nothing this time.

The other one in Massachusetts is over an hour away and I never go in that direction. It’s fine. I have plenty of stuff!! 😊

There are at least 7 that I can hit on my way there. Half of them have a good selection. The one closest to me, about a 4 minute drive, stopped getting about 90% of what they used to get in crafts when a third store opened up in town. It is frustrating.

I called our Tuesday mornings and all hadn’t got that much craft stuff in. I guess that’s a good thing. There hasn’t even been Halloween stuff. In the past when i was working they had a decent amount of stuff.

I stopped a TM nearby. They had Pink Paislee Spellbound, MME Christmas (2 lines), 2 Graphic 45 (Horse Line) and (Old Hollywood). I also saw lots of acrylic stamp sets.
I’m still looking for Tim Holtz Halloween foam alpha stamps. I’m going to the store that’s about a mile from home later today.

Watch for MME to have a Christmas warehouse box. If I remember correctly, they actually showed what was in them. They were a great deal! I am still trying to use it all up. Confession - I bought 2 different boxes .

I have only been to TM once or twice when I lived in a different city and it was just meh. But reading this thread has me wanting to go check it out today. Not like I need more of anything, but I'm definitely in shopping mode over scrapping the past few weeks.

Even the "good" TMs. Sometimes I walk out with nothing, sometimes I have to cut back on what is in my cart. And I am not even one of those people that get there on truck day!

Yep I found that out for sure today! I went to two stores. The first store only had one section of an aisle designated for crafts and it had nothing. The second store was much better. A whole aisle and it was chock full. Lots of all all the things mentioned in this thread, except the TH. A smattering of Doodlebug and lots of EP. I wound up with a couple packages of EP papers. It would have been easy to load up, but I really just wanted to see what was there. Can someone explain to me what the punchboards are? They had lots of them but I don't have a clue how to use one, or why I would want one lol.
