It's all your fault!

[DearAbby]

I went to Scrapbook Barn today because they have the best selection of things to alter in our area, and I bought four things!!! :hissyfit: :hissyfit:

:evil:

[Amy]

:ohyeah:

so what didja get?

[DearAbby]

Two 4x8 canvases & two big clothespins

[Amy]

awesome!
I love doing the clothes pins - they're fun!

[DearAbby]

So are we going to have an alter it contest tomorrow?? huh? huh??

[DearAbby]

:prettyplease:

[Amy]

um, I can't remember.

[Suzy]

WooHoo! Abby! Those are going to be fun to alter!

[DearAbby]

um, I can't remember.

:grrr:

[Amy]

honestly can't. I'm not even trying to be smart.

I can look at the schedule though if you'd like me to.

[Amy]

there is nothing planned that's altering specific, but there are several challenges where your projects could definitely fit in! :)

[jammycm]

What do you do with the big clothes pins?

I haven't been to the Scrapbook Barn since they moved!!

Abby, did you like the store?

[ceekay]

yep, it's all our fault. Pour on the guilt, we can take it! We are freaky girls!

I just finished altering a giant clothespin to use as a magnet. They are fun to do!

[jammycm]

I totally forgot about altering....I can alter some of my naked chips can't I? Does that count?

lmao

[Amy]

What do you do with the big clothes pins?

Here are 2 clothes pins I did a while back - I use them on the shelf in my sb room and I use them as picture holders. :)

Cute clothespins Amy!!

[jammycm]

Those are beautiful Amy!!!! :love: :love:

[Cyndie]

I haven't been to the Scrapbook Barn since they moved!!


Are they still in Carrollton? I have only been there a few times and not recently.

[mlr42002]

Abby don't worry it is for research.

great clothespins Amy

[jammycm]

Yes, Cyndie they just moved across the street into the shopping center where the old Michael's or whatever that store was! They are down near Scooters!

I just haven't been in but their website shows a store that appears to be lots bigger!!

I just have to drive by SBW to get there or go to the Barn at lunch since I work down in Addison! I don't NEED anymore supplies...I just want more!!

lmao

[jammycm]

are those clothes pins decorative or do they really work? :)

[DearAbby]

It is MUCH bigger. Now you don't feel claustrophobic in there and I could take Mitchell in his big stroller and not worry. Have y'all been to Scrap Bucket in Plano?

[jammycm]

Nope to the Scrap Bucket!! Have you been to the Scrap Pad in Colleyville...I think it used to be the SBW?

[Cyndie]

Have y'all been to Scrap Bucket in Plano?
I really like Scrap Bucket! The new store has an awesome crop room though I have yet to try it. I usally have my son with me when I go and spend a modest 12-13 dollars but the last time I went in by myself I plunked down nearly 70!

I love that you can get all those individual pieces they have in buckets and the staff has always been helpful to me!

[Amy]

thanks girls. and yep - the clothes pins I have actually open and close. I clip the pictures in them. and I think Dorothy got the ones I did from oriental trading company - they come in sets of like 2 or 3

[DearAbby]

Jo Anne you NEED to go to the Scrap Bucket. I need a ride there if you're offering. :evil: And no I haven't been to the Scrap Pad, where on 26 is it?

Cyndie, I've only been once and dropped $50.

[jammycm]

Where is it in Plano? Is everything in buckets?

[mlr42002]

I saw them in the orientral trading catalog yesterday and was trying to decide if I needed them.

[DearAbby]

Lots of stuff is in buckets, but not every thing. I bought arrows, charms, flowers, journaling blocks, you name it, I bought it!

[DearAbby]

Monica, you need them!

[mlr42002]

I'll see
Abby I can't help but think your dh is going to kill you

[DearAbby]

You may be right, but they are all gifts. So if you think about it, $17 for 4 gifts isn't bad.

[jammycm]

Jo Anne you NEED to go to the Scrap Bucket. I need a ride there if you're offering. :evil: And no I haven't been to the Scrap Pad, where on 26 is it?

I haven't been to the Collyville store either!! It's too far from me!!!

We should go to the scrap bucket some Saturday after we recover from tomorrow!!!! lmao

[mlr42002]

You may be right, but they are all gifts. So if you think about it, $17 for 4 gifts isn't bad.

well then gifts don't count at all

[DearAbby]

well then gifts don't count at all

uh huh!

[DearAbby]

I haven't been to the Collyville store either!! It's too far from me!!!

We should go to the scrap bucket some Saturday after we recover from tomorrow!!!! lmao

sure!!

[jammycm]

Abby maybe you can do something for Mother's Day for them!!!

lmao

[DearAbby]

I know I said I wasn't going to, but I am!

[jammycm]

I know I said I wasn't going to, but I am!

Stick to that story and maybe you won't be in trouble....especially if it's something for DH's MOM?

I wish I still had Mr. Rowdy's Mom to buy or make for...she was the sweetest thing!! :)

[mlr42002]

you have tomorrow to work on them

[DearAbby]

One of them is.

[theartsymom]

I went to Scrapbook Barn today because they have the best selection of things to alter in our area, and I bought four things!!! :hissyfit: :hissyfit:

:evil:

I was there today too- when did you go?

[monica]

I like the Scrap Bucket. The bucket concept is very cool. I would say if you were going to be looking at individual letters to kind of know what titles you are working on. Would make it easier to buy some of those things.

And I haven't been to the Pad since it became the Pad. It wasn't a bad store when it was SBW so I imagine this one is much better!

Haven't been to the Barn since they moved.

[Jess]

sounds like you had fun shopping!

[Jess]

cute clothespins Amy!

[Amy]

thanks jess.

[DearAbby]

I was there today too- when did you go?

Right after two o'clock. I was walking around with a brown plaid with small teal stripes stroller with the most adorable baby in the world in it.

[theartsymom]

I missed you by an hour. Glad you had fun. I was not impressed by the selection this time. :(
I did love the sasafras lass paper they had- I scooped up some of that and maya road ribbon.

[DearAbby]

Yeah, the selection of stuff isn't great, but the alter items are. And they sell American Craft Ribbon singles instead of in the package of 5 or 6, which is nice.

[jammycm]

I think I will just stay out of the stores and shop at the new Scrapfreak store!!! When Monica's business is bigger than she can handle online, maybe we can talk her into a brick and mortar store!!!

WOOO HOOOO!!!

:hoorah: :hoorah:

[mlr42002]

online is really my only option

so lets get that store open

[monica]

A Scrapfreak at the corner of 407/2499 would be kind of cool. lol

[mlr42002]

i can visit when I have to evacuate the next time

[DearAbby]

Y'all can sleep on our couches

[mlr42002]

It'll give me something to do while I am there. For Katrina we were there for two weeks and i didn't have anything to do

[DearAbby]

You were in our area??

[katiedid1226]

Very cute, by the way. Love that paper.

[ChickieShannon]

A Scrapfreak at the corner of 407/2499 would be kind of cool. lol
That would be way cool!!! Do it, Monica!!! lol

I haven't been to the Barn or Bucket since they both moved. Love the Bucket though!!! The concept is so cool. Just a long drive! :( I'd definitely be up for some carpooling! ;)

[monica]

I heard they were opening a Hobby Lobby up here too...Shannon, were are you at in Lewisville?

[mlr42002]

for part of the trip
