Yep, started the monthly thread a day early!
Today I ran into my least favorite of the three TMs near me, hoping to find the mini score board and I found a ton of great stuff! I usually spend between $0-$10 at this store so I was surprised by how much bigger the papercrafting section is right now. Yay!
I bought...
We R Mini Envelope Punch Board
We r Acrylic block 3 pack
We R Mini score board
We R Trim and Score Board
Spellcast 6x6 paper pad
DIY shop gold glitter enamel dots x2
Bo Bunny Blue Hues Gems and Pearls x2
Pink Paislee Confetti gold dipped tags
DIY shop cork arrows
Project Life wood veneer shapes 150 pieces
DIY Shop Kraft tags
DIY shop glitter heart stickers
Chalkboard Thickers
Green Sprinkles Thickers
Echo Park Reflections pack
Echo Park Capture Life pack
I hope everyone else finds some good crafty things this month! At the end of the month I'm flying back to Washington State and I hope to visit 1 or 2 TMs there.

You got a lot of nice things! I only bought one little thing this week - some red enamel EP letter stickers. They didnt have much that was new to me. The WRMK punch boards keep rolling in! Good deal if you don’t have any, especially the score board and envelope board. I use those two all the time.

Mine from Wednesday was more of a mini haul. I bought a set of AC glitter markers, a Crafters Companion snowflake embossing folder, a 6x6 Echo Park paper pad, and some pop dots. They did have a lot of the Echo Park paper pads and stickers as well as a ton of Heidi Swapp stuff.
Do I need a Mimi scoring pad? I saw one there. Hmmm.

artisticscrapper I was tempted by the AC glitter pens, but resisted. You'll have to let us know how you like them. I have way too many pens that have disappointed me.

I spent a ton of money elsewhere this week (thanks enablers!) so I didn’t go to TM. You got a lot of great stuff!!

craftymom101, I’ll be taking your advice and picking up a score pad when I go by there next week. I just needed that little enabling push.

artisticscrapper yay! The mink easily fits on my desk. The bigger size is too large for my desk and I have to keep it on another shelf, which is a pain.

I already have some but didn’t have these colors. They aren’t overly glittery which I like. Keep in mind though they aren’t fine tipped. I still use them to color, just not in tiny areas. |

Chipboard
Frames
6x12 sticker sheet
Misc embellishment - Pom poms etc
Washi tape
Good Times-
6x6 paper pad
6x12 sticker sheet
Washi tape
Flourish 6x6 pad
I also got some adhesive and various other paper. I seemed to show up as soon as they were putting things out so was lucky!

meganliane I am jealous you found Crate Paper! I've found a few Crate Paper things here and there but you managed to pick up almost the whole collection!

craftymom101 I was shocked I actually found all of it as I normally don’t find that good of stuff. They had multiples of about everything I picked up too.

I don't have any around here either but I always read these threads. Sometimes I feel like I'm torturing myself hearing about bargains I can't go and buy. |

Has anyone seen any Halloween themed paper or stamps? I don’t have a great need, but if I could pick up a few bargains I’d love that.
The TM closest to me occasionally has some Tim Holtz items, but it’s pretty rare.

For the score pad, it is 1/2 inch or 1/8 inch?

Will deliveries be delayed a day due to the holiday today? I usually stop by around 3:30 on Tuesdays because our store usually only gets 1 of an item and I really don't want to miss the Hampton Art zombie stamp/stencil combo pack.

I have two TMs near me. The newer, larger one had a huge amount of new stuff. A ton of Good Vibes embellishments. Some new thickers. Lots of 6" paper pads. Lots of We R tools. Several washi tape collections. A lot of EP scrapbook line kits. It was really fun.
I also bought wooden artist models: A male hand, a female hand, and a person. My students will like drawing those. I also bought an acrylic paint kit. I haven't painted in a long time so I thought this would be a good place to start.
Also two sets of reader glasses. I can't scrap if I can't see.
So my quick look around the store cost me $127. Yikes.

My closest 2 TM stores haven’t gotten any of this yet - or someone scooped it all up !
They just got the graphic 45 race horse pad this week I think people were showing that on YouTube at least 3 weeks ago.
Hoping my store is just slow to get - so I might still have a chance to find some!
Great finds everyone. Thanks for sharing what you found. Have fun!

The TM closest to me occasionally has some Tim Holtz items, but it’s pretty rare. I went on the 15th to mine and picked up quite a bit of Halloween for a crafty day with my sisters. Tim Holtz coffin trays, Halloween cling foam stamps, transparency Halloween tiles, Halloween heirloom roses, and Halloween rub-ons. Some AC Bootiful chipboard stickers, and MME Something’s Wicked glittered alphas. I had seen but didn’t get MME trick or treat collection pack and PP spell cast sticker sheet. I’m hoping to head up to mine again this week! |

I had some luck today (Labor Day) at TM finding some Halloween items: Sizzix/Tim Holtz Halloween Thinlits (set of 14 little dies) Tim Holtz idea-ology Deco Sheets Silver & Gold Graphic 45 Master Detective Collection of Journaling & Ephemera Cards Rubber Stamps: Inkadinkado Trick or Treat Acrylic Stamp Set Recollections Halloween Stamp Set (Spiders & Web) Recollections Halloween Stamp - Haunted House (set of 4) Hampton Art Halloween Stamp & Stencil Set Paper: Doodlebug Halloween Paper Pack 12 x 12 American Crafts Bootiful Night 6 x 6 Pink Paislee "Spellcast" 6 x 6 And a few other odds & ends: Pebbles brand of printed cardstock shapes - Fall/Halloween Me Too Ribbon & Cord Tim Holtz Halloween Washi Tape Sticky Thumb adhesive foam tabs Sticky Thumb Sticky dots Non Halloween, I bought 2 paper packs. They have a vintage /retro kitchen & food look and will be perfect for a mini-scrapbook of my late mother's recipes I'm getting ready to start: Echo Park "Made from Scratch" 6 x 6 Echo Park "Home Sweet Home" 6 x 6 I spent a small fortune  . , but I haven't found much at TM for months, so I'm telling myself that it was a wise idea to grab the items that I wanted when I saw them.  |

I went back for that scoring board and they had zero. Ah, well.
I also checked out another TM a little further away. They had mostly We R punch boards and various pens and markers. The stamps and dies were kind of random. The only name brand items were mostly 6x6 paper pads. Walked out with nothing. I went home and bought a few things in my Amazon cart.

The last two weeks have had very little for crafts in my stores. We had a huge delivery of Crate Paper and Echo Park, and then nothing. I take that back. We've had more scoreboards/similar boards that fill shelves of space, but I don't need those. I guess there has been some crafty kits for making decorations, but I don't need those either,

I went to a new(to me) TM today. Tons of Time Holtz ephemera, Maggie holmes Carousel, echo pack (last year's Christmas lines, toy box, summer fun, and I love family). Some AC puffy stickers I haven't seen before - hearts and stars.

Today was truck day and the clerk said they got so much stuff in that it will take them at least 2 days to put it all out. Oh, the anticipation!
