Scrapbook.com just made my day

Post by Keitha »

I know Pam got her order at least a week ago, but being in Ontario my Scrapbook.com order with Carta Bella's Great Outdoors collection just arrived today. I am swooning over the colours, graphics and quality of these papers. I also ordered the ephemera pack - even though I barely manage to use those suckers - and the 6x6 Indian Blanket stencil. And of course to make my order worthwhile for shipping to Canada I added in some BoBunny Take a Hike and also Pink Paislee Outfitters. I'm going to have to drool over all these for a bit before I can cut them up, although do look forward to putting them on layouts.

Not knowing that package would be landing on my doorstep today, I may have taken a drive to the LSS near me and brought home the new Photoplay Fresh Picked collection pack. Again nice, retro graphics in a fresh palette which I think will be perfect for a layout or two about road food; it's all about the Route 66 trip these days.

I know people get excited about getting their monthly kits in the mail and the surprise of seeing what's included. But for my money I'd far rather hand-pick my order - and then gush over each and every thing that comes out of the box.

I like handpicking my order, too. Hate those "surprises" that don't interest me at all.

Fresh Picked looks very nice, too. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

Yay Keitha! Excited for you. I agree, getting those packages of what you hand picked is so exciting. I sometimes forget all that I've ordered so it's often a surprise to open the box. Can't wait to see what you do with all your goodies.

I'm not alone? I get boxes and think, "Did I really order from them?" Speaking of - my coupon from Simon Says Stamp is lying here on my desk...hm...

Hmmmm, me too. There's an Ellen Hutson coupon for June eyeing me.

I know how much trouble I can get into even factoring in the exchange rate and shipping to Canada; I'd probably be homeless if I lived in the US, LOL. Farley, I know what you mean about forgetting all you ordered and finding surprises in the box - those are the best kind because they're always good ones.

I try to keep a list of packages I have coming to me, although often forget to update it as is currently the case. I can think of 3 packages I still have to receive; wonder if there are others?

Amazon is my best friend.....I have several packages coming from them I'm looking forward to. I ordered stuff to make the mermaid rings with the granddaughters.

Oh that'll be fun, Debbie. I hesitated walking by the jewelry-making aisle in Michaels the other day, but doubt my grandsons would want to make mermaid rings with me!
