:-D How did you find ACOT and what makes you stick around? I had been shopping here when it was StickersGalore, and I was one of the first people to check out the new message board when they started it. I have stayed because of all the wonderful friends I have made here, as well as the fantastic inspiration! :-D

I was googling something for scrapbooking and found ACOT. I book marked it, and came back to it every once in a while. Then I discovered points, and the message board. And then ...THE CROP. After I did the online crop, I was hooked. I never looked back :-D

I can't remember...maybe surfing the web for scrappy products. As soon as it came up I was hooked. I have gone to one other board in the last 3 years and forget it...doesn't even compare so I only go on this one. You guys rock and I live here....even my kids and dh know about you :winkb:

I was searching for an online store to buy scrappy goods b/c I have nothing decent nearby... This place caught my eye in more ways than one; I had a bit of diffiiculty (and lack of nerves) with the MB at first, but I love this place, it's an extended family now!!! in fact every time I meet a new scrapper, I send her to this place to check it out :-D :-D :-D

I found ACOT when searching for an item to purchase. I had popped onto the board but didn't join. Then, I finally took the plunge--only a couple days before an August crop! WOWSERS!!!! I was totally blown away!!! So much action--trying to figure it all out...heck, I hadn't even figured out the board.


But it was a rush! I was hooked! And now this is a place I love to play, chat and be inspired!

I used to shop at their bricks andmortar store. I checked out the website, and didn't like it (that was before the new message boards...I found it hard to navigate). I came back a few years later, and ouila! Whole new place! I started chatting, and the rest is history.

I am a little slow with technology, so although I would stop by, I wasn't sure what ACOT was all about. Eventually the ACOT community drew me in. I enjoy shopping here.

My friend Meg found you first, and it was NSD and she brought me over for the crop. I've never left.

A friend was doing a challenge and kept talking about her points. She was excited about ACOT so I decided to check it out. I am new to the board and am trying to figure out how to do some of the downloads. I really like the variety of items they have here, plus the points.

I discovered ACOT when I couldn't find any SOLID purple cardstock WITHOUT having to pay by sheet.


A month later, the CROP was going on last summer and I had so much fun with it, that I stuck around. And I'm so glad I did. I have met so many new and interesting people AND have met up with a fellow Texas Cherry TWICE! :-D



I LOVE all the challenges - they really do help me get out of a rut. I love all the new goodies that come online (Thanks Clint! :-D )

My sister had found ACOT online when looking for Disney scrapbooking stuff and told me about it. I looked around and found the message board. I was pretty active on it for awhile and then lost my interest in scrapping, but now I am back with a vengeance!!! There's no getting rid of me now :)
