Does anyone else...

Post by aceason »

map out scrapbook stores when you go on vacation?

We're road tripping to the Oregon coast for a long weekend and my first thought, even before packing, was what scrapbook stores would be on the way. I did a happy dance when I found 0.3 miles from our hotel. Whoo hoo! Who says vacation is scrap free?

I have 3 scrapbook stores that I shop at in the Orlando area when I am down there. I even have a punch card for one of the stores. There used to be a really nice store in the Chicago (downtown) area that I loved going to. Unfortunately, they closed last year. Sounds like we have our priorities set right whenever there is a road trip.

Now you all have justified it. :) Besides, I'd rather have some cool scrappy stuff from a trip than a tee shirt I'll never wear again!

Always! Whenever we take a trip I look online for scrapbook stores to visit. Last year when I forgot to plan ahead I asked at the visitors center and was directed to an awesome store.

Yes, I did that on our last trip to New Braunsfels, Tx. I found a great SB store and became fast friends with the owner. She had just gotten several orders in and let me rifle thru all the boxes! LOVED her for that! :) Can't wait for my next trip down there!

Most certainly. I always find unique things in those stores that will help when scrapping that trip. My family and friends are use to it by now and will ask before I tell where we are scrappy shopping?

YEs.

And I planned a trip to Pigeon Forge JUST so we could go to the big scrapbook store t here. But once I went into the outlet part I was so much in sensory overload that I couldn't handle the big store.

I haven't had the opportunity to do that on a road trip, but always check out what's in the area when I go to a new place. I know that little tourist shops always have cool things for scrapping. Hope you find a lot of neat new things!
