This past Saturday my friend Diane decided she wanted to go check out
Altered Angels Scrapbook Store because sadly, it is closing. This store is in Alpharetta, Ga and is about 45-50 minutes (no traffic) away from us. I told her I was in for the ride, along with our other friend Mazie.
So off we headed at 10:00 a.m. Right now the store has everything at 35% off but starting 03/10/2014 it will be at 45% off.
I had some left over gift cards from my birthday in December so my walk out total was 65¢!!Yep, that 's 65 cents!!
I really hate that she's going out of business because her prices, as far as Local Scrapbook Stores, were very reasonable. There was also a great selection of merchandise.
Here we are myself, Diane and Mazie starting to fill up our baskets
Here's some of the things I got.

Next we went to one of our favorite stores in Marietta, Ga,
Rubber Stamp Fantasy.
We go there so much the owners, Debbie and Gary, know us. The store is pricey
BUT you will find stamps and other crafty goodness that you can't get anywhere online. Gary and Debbie, are always taking out time to show you how to re-create some of their beautiful cards. Who does that? That's why we don't mind paying a little more because when we leave, we know exactly how to use our goodies!
 |
| I bought this stamp set all for about $23.50, yes I know, pricey, but I wanted to create the cards shown below |
Gary showing Diane and Mazie how to use that spray thing-a-ma-jig!
The cards in this store will pull you in every time!! If you ever get a chance stop by a visit.
**Warning**
You will spend a lot of Moolah!!!
You can spend hours in here!!!
