My friend, Kelly, and I were on the Northwest Paper Chase on Saturday, when I mentioned seeing a post of a former scrap store, that just happened to be along our route, was clearancing out the remainder of her inventory at 60% off!
Well, she not only had the normal scrap store fare, but she was "garage sale-ing" her private collection of Stampin' Up stamps, punches, ink pads, etc., at a PHENOMENAL discount! Let's suffice it to say, that I walked away from the store with three bags of goodies that will last me forever.
Among my best finds....the TEN Stampin' Up punches! Yes, they're old-style, but who really cares? I wish they were the space-saving ones, but seriously at right around $50, TOTAL, for all TEN, I'm ecstatic! (Those of you who know punches or Stampin' Up, the large ones all retail for around $16.95 apiece!)
Other great finds include: 100 yards of ivory grosgrain ribbon for less than $1.50, as well as other grosgrains and satins for 60% off of 25 or 50 cents; large bundle of 12x12 chipboard for less than $4; approximately 50 sheets of 12x12 white textured cardstock for under $2.50; two sets of replacement Big Shot cutting pads for under $2.50; and, an assortment of other Stampin' Up stamp sets for over 60% off of retail. I was in total clearance Heaven, and had to stop myself before I bought everything! Of course, I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a few other punches or stamp sets, BUT, I am quite happy with what I was able to snag. Hopefully you all can find deals of your own soon, too! ~Hoppy Crafting!
