Way Back in the Day.... when my city actually had Local Scrapbook Stores... where in-person crops were held...
I once won a prize for staying up all night at the scrapbook store at an all night crop! (5pm-8am)

Yeah, I miss those days!!!
I believe someone mentioned ACOT at a crop. I had no reason to buy online Scrapbook supplies.
NONE. I had 2-3 LSS's in business at any given time.
I started scrapbooking in 2004.
Now, I have to buy online. Oh, how the tables have turned.
I loved to support LOCAL then instead of the big box stores.
I love to support family run ACOT now.
I'm getting all nostalgic and mushy and wanting to cry.
I love A Cherry on Top!!!
