You may remember me mentioning the Crafty Scrapper back in April. (Remember that AWESOME Distress ink holder?? Yep, same place) Well, I finally had a chance to go back!
OK, after walking and working 90 miles per hour (LOL!) at market, we thought....Well....I thought we deserved a trip to Waxahachie and the Crafty Scrapper on the way home! Yes, I drug Vicki and Marsha in with me! Come to think of it, I think Marsha went next door to the baby shop! Oh well...we all have our priorities don't we?
What's the big deal about this store you say? For one, they have EVERYTHING you would ever want and need for paper crafting! My stars this place is huge and chocked full of the most amazing things! Here are a few pictures of the shop. Also below that, a video of some goodies that accidentally found themselves in my studio!
Me diggin' in the Graphic 45 Section! Like I can never get enough! Got to love their paper! Am I the only one who lays paper out on the floor? LOL!
Here's what I got.....
I leave you with this picture! I don't know why...When driving back home tonight we saw this....I thought these folks were crazy driving 75 mph with a KING size mattress and box springs that was barely tied down to this tiny SUV!!
Well, thanks for looking and thanks for being patient with my gazillion posts! Hahaha!
Have a great weekend!

We only have one LSS left in our area. So sad. When I say "area" that means about 50 miles away. What an interesting looking store. I don't think I'd ever leave. Thanks for sharing your fun.
Posted by: Judy Sanza | 06/23/2012 at 09:09 AM
I know the ladies at The Crafty Scrapper were happy to see you...and your wallet...LOL!!!
I'm anxious to see the punches in action...video please!
I hope you got around the mattress car...that thing is about to fall off and hurt somebody.
And....next time you go to Waxahachie you REALLY need to let me come along...LOVE that store!!!
Posted by: Barbara Albrecht | 06/23/2012 at 09:38 AM
Wow, that looks like a fun store. Can't wait to see your CHA creations. Thanks for sharing. I think we need to have a friends of Jim event in Texas and invade the Crafty Scrapper! Have a great weekend.

No, you're not the only one who lays paper out on the floor to look, pick and choose. I find that only LSS shops are OK with that, though, which is one of the many reasons I frequent them. Big Box stores are my last-ditch effort choices. I'm sure they were happy to see you coming and are grateful for you supporting their local economy so nicely.

Thank you for mentioning and supporting the Crafty Scrapper-so important to all of us in Dallas! They are just FANTASTIC and also have amazing classes! You should come and teach!
Posted by: Sherry | 06/23/2012 at 06:01 PM
What a wonderful shop. No you are not the only one that looks at paper on the floor. I do to. Cant wate to see what your making now. When are you doing a ustream show.
Posted by: linda pok | 06/23/2012 at 07:21 PM
Nice haul, Jim! Wow what a terrific store! Would love to shop there in person someday. If there's an " Invasion of Friends of Jim" count me in! It'll take me three days to get there but I'm in! LOL
Posted by: Nan G | 06/23/2012 at 11:30 PM
Oh my goodness, I love your blog, Jim! I just found you and can't wait for future blog posts. I loved seeing your stash from the Crafty Scrapper and would LOVE to shop there myself! Thanks for your instructional videos: i "went back in time"on your blog and watched the spinning storage caddy video and I am going to make one-what a great project. Thanks Jim for all your crafting goodness!

So fun, I, too went shopping and bought many of the same things you did! Ha! BUT I've never seen the spinner tower...TOO COOL! Great haul!

Wow! Great shop. Looks like you had a nice haul to take home. Good thing you didn't get too close to the vehicle for that pic. Ha!
Posted by: Rea Custer | 06/24/2012 at 09:20 PM
I think we should form a secret society.
The Floor Layout Society!
So glad I'm not the only one who does this. How else can you see what goes with what?
Wish I could find that Spinner Tower too, I could use a really small footprint for all my ink!
