My favorite store for scrapbook and card-making supplies (rubber stamps, adhesives, cardstock etc.) which was located in Longview 35 miles distant, closed last year. Now I have to go to one of the chain-type craft stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby to find supplies, and most of the supplies I like are not available at those stores. This means I will have to get used to ordering things online–which I hate to do, I like to see, feel and compare items before I buy, then I like to walk out the door with my purchases, open them up as soon as I get home and start to work with them.
Anyway, I have discovered a local home-town dealer/demonstrator for Stampin’ Up, and have been able to actually see and handle certain items of cardstock prior to ordering. My first order should arrive this week sometime, and I’m excited to see if this type of transaction will work for me.
I know–I’ll have to bite the bullet and get used to on-line shopping, and as I told The Husband, I suppose it will be like Christmas–waiting for the UPS man to deliver the order, and having the pleasure of unwrapping packages–but, no surprises, ’cause I know what I’ve ordered. Ah well–fun, anyway.
