For those of you wondering, the card quality is SO MUCH BETTER in the square kits (at least in Click) than I remember some of my older kits being. There is still some ink transfer issues (there is a LOT of white in this kit and it picks up the black quite easily). They are thicker, the whites are nice and crisp and the cards are just overall much much nicer. I couldn't even get them back into the plastic tray once I removed them from the shrink wrap. So now I need to get myself a container for them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tag me with skus if you see any of the other squared kits. I am googling and trying to make a list of the ones I know are squared. Snapshots and Project 52 Rad came out at about the same time as Click, so hopefully those will be coming soon. My only upset with this kit is that the 3x4 cards are very heavy on the horizontal side. I mean, if I wanted horizontal 3x4's (the only way I'd use them is to layer on a 4x6) I could just use the rounded ones I have. The 4x6's are by far my favorites and I love the colors in this kit, too.
ETA: With the improved quality, it makes you wonder why Becky didn't shout from the rooftops how much better these new kits are. Does she really hate scrapbooking that much to not even advertise the PROS of these newer kits? Or does she just hate that she had to succumb to the requests for squared corners and therefore doesn't like the new kits, regardless of their improvements?
ETA2: Looks like there are 2 newer squared kits that I'd never heard of. Project 52 Daring and Sharp. Both look a bit more masculine from the 5 whole cards in the kit you can see on the covers. I really hope that all 5 (all I can find on her site) of these square kits make an appearance, not just Click. I expect at least the 2 that were released when Click was to be of similar quality.

I made it to TM this morning. They had more products on the shelves (mostly pads of papers), but little that appealed to me. I only bought one $2.99 pack of summer themed paper that I can use with my card making group.

Driving from Anaheim to LAX for my flight back home in UK this past Tuesday, I stopped at the Tuesday Morning stores in Lakewood and in Torrance (as well as side visits to HL, Michaels & Joann - but their items weren't bargains). I bought a lot of goodies in each TM store especially items for my mixed media (2 x Bo Bunny Glitter pastes, Mister Huey's colour mists, pack of two small brayers), TH design tape postal, 2 x Bo Bunny clear stamp packs, Gemini clear stamp pack, Spellbinder enamel elements, 4 x EK Success sticker packs. There were plenty of pads I liked but eventually I purchased one thick 12x12 pad plus 3 6x6 pads. I wish I could have bought more however I was travelling alone & had to carry my two suitcases and hand luggage. I am back in the US in September & I have already worked out where the TM stores are on my road trip lol

I have seen the 25 packs of the clear plastic. Has anyone purchased that? Wondering what fun things you could do with them (other than make boxes). Not exactly sure what clear plastic you are finding, but could it be used for shaker cards, alcohol ink dyed DIY die cut embellishments, or even clear "cardstock" cards? Jennifer McG has done some of those. If I found that clear stuff. I would buy it. I just went to a store south of my city and found three more packs of this stuff. I just know it has a purpose. For now, I am going to make clear plastic pillow boxes as gifts for teachers. TM also had 18 (?) packs of colored gel pens. I am going to make the pillow boxes long enough to put 6-8 of the pens in each one. If I put a little colored crinkle paper at the bottom and the pens on it, they will make cute back to school gifts for the teachers I work with.

What I didnt mention was that I had been to the Hawaiian isles before my few days in LA & I had bought a lot of tropical papers in Ace/Ben Franklin stores so my luggage was heavy before my TM haul

I stopped in today and found this cute brad pack. I've never seen this brand before. I also found some wood veneer hearts. I think I'll try painting some.

No plastic sheets or PL square corner kits to be found. But I did buy a letter board; I've been wanting one for ages.

Last night I got PL Core Kits Bloom and crap...I can't think of the other one...for $6.99. I never really liked Bloom until I had Hawaii photos to scrap - now Bloom is perfect! (I'll still donate probably 75% of the kit though). They also had Cinnamon for $6.99
I also got a tiny package of 3x4 cards of PL Bohemian Adventure...just a little cellophane package. I'm not even sure how many cards are in it. Was $1.99. Got some wood embellishments for $1.49.
They had a bunch of 6 x 6 packs of Wolf Pack, which surprised me!

For those of you wondering, the card quality is SO MUCH BETTER in the square kits (at least in Click) than I remember some of my older kits being. There is still some ink transfer issues (there is a LOT of white in this kit and it picks up the black quite easily). They are thicker, the whites are nice and crisp and the cards are just overall much much nicer. I couldn't even get them back into the plastic tray once I removed them from the shrink wrap. So now I need to get myself a container for them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tag me with skus if you see any of the other squared kits. I am googling and trying to make a list of the ones I know are squared. Snapshots and Project 52 Rad came out at about the same time as Click, so hopefully those will be coming soon.

I’m in Colorado for a baseball trip and stopped in the TM here and found the click kit. The store was very had to shop at because everything was thrown on top of each other. They had so may pl kits they were stored either two deep or two high. Mine was buried in the back so I’m glad I realized that’s how it was. You are right this kit is so nice, it’s fresh and modern. The funny thing is my favorite kits are midnight, everyday and now this one and while I rewatched the video for click they mentioned it was the same designer. I didn’t even think about that.

My Tuesday Morning got a ton of new paper. Mass quantities. They also had quite a few of the 12x12 chipboard diecuts. There was one for a Shimelle collection, two different Maggie Holmes, a BoBunny, etc.
There was also a crazy amount of washi tape in this last shipment.
And of course, mass amounts of Project Life.

I stopped at TM tonight, hoping to find the Click core kit or another core kit with square corners, but didn’t have any luck. I did pick up:
Project Life Explore Die-Cut Frames (Set of 12)
Pebbles Puffy Stickers (Set of 31) (no collection name listed but the set is from 2017)
Maggie Holmes Stickers (from 2016- no collection name listed)
Pebbles alpha tiles - black and cream
Shimelle Head in the Clouds 6x12 Stickers
Pebbles 6x12 Stickers (no collection name listed but it’s the same collection as the puffy stickers)

I always pictured her more of a flibbertigibbet or fiddlesticks type of curser.

I only get to go to Tuesday Morning once a year when I visit my parents in Florida. It's usually not that great but I really found some good stuff this trip! I did buy 2 of the sticker booklets that everyone seems to hate - I like them for PL, they're perfect for just dressing up a photo, even if it's just a little heart sticker next to my dog's face. I got Dear Lizzy and Maggie Holmes.
I also bought some Vicki Boutin stuff (gesso), Mr. Huey's sprays - I don't have a lot of sprays so I was excited about these - WeRMemory Keeper's Perfect Layers rulers - I have the original but have sliced the sides of them with my X-Acto knife so I'm happy to have these new ones with metal in them (I think), and a few more things. I didn't buy paper but they had tons of it, along with a bunch of PL kits, which I don't need so I didn't look at. It was really fun to see all of the scrapbooking stuff they had!
They also had a Sidekick for $24 which I definitely would have bought if I hadn't gotten the Spellbinders Prizm a few months ago for $10.

A couple days ago I was able to stop at the only TM in my entire state. The crafting section was half of one side of a short aisle. Pretty disappointing to say the least. I did snag the Midnight core kit, but nothing else was really worth bothering with unfortunately.
