In a t-shirt and squinting in the sun! Hooray!
It is completely gorgeous today and it definitely feels like spring! I guess the weather man heard all my complaints. I have all the windows open in the house and I am loving it.
So I have a busy few days ahead of me. I'm trying to get some projects done and off my plate as deadlines are looming. I feel June looming over me - I know it seems a way off but I have A LOT to do! I have a feeling April and May are going to fly by and then I start travelling a lot in June and July and before I know it, it is going to be August. I can feel it flying past me.
So since I don't have any projects or scrapping to share today I thought I might do some enabling. I recently ordered a bunch of new scrapping supplies from a bunch of different places - thoughout the US and Canada and I thought I would share some great places to shop (that you might not have heard of).
The first is PaperCents.com. I ordered items and I swear I blinked and the stuff had arrived. Often when I order things from the USA I have to kind of forget about it for awhile so I don't get anxious (got to clear customs) but not this time. I was shocked - I am pretty sure they mailed it to me the day I ordered it or at the latest, the next day. Loved it - everything in the order was perfect and the prices were great (I think I caught a storewide sale).
Next is BlackberryPaper.com. She was out of one thing I ordered but quickly contacted me and let me know that it would be in in two days and did I want to ship now or wait. I love that kind of service. When I order and then get a box with stuff missing (even if it was subtracted from the bill) I am not happy. I mean I order the things cause I want them. I really appreciate the way she took care of my order.
Of course there is LifetimeMoments.com. I first dealt with them when I did a chat for a MM book but since then I have been ordering from them. They have a great selection and are really efficent. I had a pre-order in (first time ever doing that) and then I needed a few other things. They gladly matched up my orders and shipped them all together. Love not being treated as just an order number!
And then in Canada I often order from ScrapbookStar.ca. Wonderful selection and fast service. One time a box got lost (the only time that has ever happened before) and they totally took care of things. I mean it was the postal services fault but they took care of the paperwork and quickly sent out what I needed. Love shopping there. Lots of fresh stock which is sometimes hard to find in a Canadian based store.
And one of my favourites - PapierValise.com. Just go to their home page and you will see why. The attention to detail - yum! This is where I shop for vintage and unusual items. Everything comes perfectly packaged and often tied up with string...these are a few of my favorite things...sorry I digressed. Seriously I want pretty much one of everything in this shop. Oh wait, I already do - just kidding! I do have a lot from this store though. Probably more than I need. ;) And wait until you see the baby pizza boxes that the orders come in! Love putting them next to the regular boxes - so cute!
Ok that is it for today - happy shopping everyone.
