How did you find your way to ACOT and what is your favorite part of it (mb, store, gallery etc?)

Believe it or not I was ordering from here when it was called Stickers Galore. I remember when they first started the message board and the rest is history. So I've been here from the Very beginning.:-D

I know Rachel (handerful) from another board we've been on for over 7 years together. About a year ago she suggested I come over and check out ACOT. So glad I did!!! I don't know if I have a favorite part... I really like it all! The monthly challenges really keep me motivated.

I joined a scrapbooking group on BabyCenter.com and one of the members there posted about ACOT. I like seeing everyone's LOs and doing these challenges "shopping" for layout elements. It gives me inspiration and ideas for my own LOs.

I was a member of another board and one of "our" regulars became part of the design team here. So I visited here from time to time and shopped here too!! When "our" board shut down last fall I became a member here!! ---voila!!! :winkb:

Pam is the culprit who is responsible for me being here. She and I trace our friendship clear back to the old, old CKMB days and a few DTs later, here we are. I thank her every day for luring me over here...I love how quickly the mb moves, the great deals in the store and how inspiring the gallery is on an hourly basis. You all are a blast and I love it (and you!).

I was sitting at the computer and needed to find a new place to find scrappy stuff. I love CM, but their color sceme is a snooze fest, their embellies are non-existent.... So.... Since there are no decent scrappy stores in my area, I started using m]y decent computer skills, and the secrest squirrel detective work I picked up from working at a police department, and started doing an online search for an online scrappy store. ACOT popped up at the top of the list. I was so amazed I didn't even look at any other site! That was 5-6 years ago! aND THE mb, SINCE i DISCOVERED IT IS MY FAV PART, i HAVE MADE SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL FRIENDS!!!


(sorry for the caps switch)

I am one of the GO's for Baby Center's scrapbooking and paper crafts. We love ACOT for shipping prizes to each other. My favorite part until the crop was going under the new products each day just to see what has come in...but now I must say I am really getting into the community here. I think I am going to become a little more active here:) So glad I came in to be part of this crop ladies...Thank you!

I was looking for scrap supplies and stumbled upon the website. I followed the message board a little then finally joined in.

Store would be top choice - I like the suppliers that are carried - AND - What woman doesn't like shopping!!!

I am a big fan of Heidi Grace and I found that ACOT carried her line and the rest is history. I really enjoy looking through the gallery at all the layouts for ideas and looking through the shoppe for coins. I have actually purchased items that caught my eye and thought that would work on my layout. My next step is to get some of my layouts submitted so everyone can see some of my work. I really have a great time at the crops and I appreciate all that everyone does for them.

i came across ACOT when it was still Stickers Galore. I've been on the MB from the beginning of time. The best part is the mb. I like stalkin' everyone:)

When I started scrapping, I was more interested in acquiring goodies than actually scrapping. Searched on the Internet and found this great site. Love the variety in the store and then a year or two later, found the message board. I LOVE the gallery for inspiration and the fun on the message boards. The gals are such fun!

I was told by a friend to check out your upcoming crop. Which was my first crop and NSD celebrated. I was up the whole weekend. It was madness and my favorite. That was years ago now.

Well the rest is history, iam so into scrapping and pretty much stick with ACOT exclusively. The folks here have taught me a lot and the crops are a blast. I ereally enjoy this place.

I found ACOT while surfing the internet. My favorite part of ACOT is the gallery and the message board.

I was searching to buy some scrapbooking supplies online and found ACOT. I like the shopping and only really use the MB for the crops.

I have been shopping here for several years. Back when it was called Stckers Galore. What I like the best bout ACOT is the shopping. The store carries such good goodies compared to other online scrapbooking sites. I also enjoy looking at the gallery to give me inspiration of ideas of how to use all my goodies that I get from ACOT.
