The last time I was in my local Tuesday Morning store the cashier told me to stop back within the next few weeks as they were "expecting to get in lots of crafting items". Well I stopped in today and did I ever SCORE!
Spellbinders Impressabilities for $2.99
Shapeabilities for $6.99
Grand Shapeabilities including some alphas for $19.99
Several different Cosmo Cricket Scrapbook Kits for $14.99
Lots of new dsp styles 12or 25 packs of the same paper for $1.49 or $1.99(K&Co, Imaginisce, and Momenta)
the 12 packs of paper were for $1.49 and had embossing or glitter on them
I got the Impressabilities Diamond & Stars and Pebbles, the Piercerabilities 5-1/2" Victorian Border, the Edgeabilities Classic Triple Scallop and Classic Decorative Inserts Six, the Borderabilities Lotus Border Petites, the Shapeabilities Foliage Two, Nestabilities Labels Twelve, Pinking Circles Large and Square Swatches. I didn't see the papers.
Michaels also has QuicKutz Lemon Drop alphabet dies, GooseBumpz Chain (2 embossing folders: chain link and what looks like woven bamboo) and GooseBumpz Lattice (2 embossing folders: a series of large scallops on top of each other in rows and and what looks like a series of tiny circles with a smaller circle on opposite sides of each circle.
The local Tuesday Morning closed last Christmas. The closest one is now about 45 mins away; if I remember, I'll try to get there this weekend and hope they still have some good stuff left!
I picked up Butterfly Shapeabilities for 6.99, some really nice 8 X 8 DCVW shimmer cardstock (42 sheets for 2.99) and a 25 sheet pack of doublesided 12 X 12 paper for 1.99. They also had pinking circles dies, foliage dies, and some grand caliber dies (which I don't have a machine big enough for). I plan on checking the other 2 semi-local stores to see what they have got in.
I didn't get a chance to see the paper (I would've love to get the double-sided and shimmer ones), but I was too close to closing to be able to do so.
There was also one Labels Five, a few Nesties Apples, Pears, the mini fruits with a jar dies and something with baby (I'm assuming a die set).
Grumpygirl73, I know what you mean. I was shocked to see Nesties at all, much less some of the more recent ones. Good luck in your hunt! If not this time, maybe some other time. I have noticed that Tuesday Morning often gets punches, stamps and paper packs in around this time every year. Keep looking around the end of July and again toward the end of August.
For those who have Walgreens, they have a limit of 6 on the white posterboard 22" x 28" sheets for 49 cents per sheet (good for box making and oversize cards). Keep watching, they should have them for less money (the best was a few years ago when they sold them for 10 cents each limit 10). Last year was the first time they offered the color sheets on sale.
I got 2 packages of Smooch pearlized inks (4 in each pkg) for $4.99 each. They had a third also. They had lots of Spellbinders Impressabilities and I got the snowflake one. I also got the Spellbinders Ribbon Banners. They had two of the alphabet ones in two different fonts and a fair few other Spellbinder dies that I already have. I thought it was great. A big thank you to the OP. Lots of paper too but I'm on a paper diet! I also saw the Tim Holtz storage boxes, the trinket one with fold out shelves, the paper storage one and the large case. I am glad I didn't buy those when they first came out as I was not impressed with how they were made when I saw the actual product at TM.
I rarely think to go to Tuesday Morning, because it's on the other side of town in a location that is a PITA for me to get to (have to drive all the way through town, lots of stoplights, heavy traffic). But we were going to Michaels tonight so we took the alternate route in order to go to Tuesday Morning.
I got the Foliage 2 and Ribbon Banners Shapeabilities and a Grand Impressabilities Fancy Flourish. Also picked up a Tim Holtz Ideology Baubles and a pack of Graphic 45 Curtain Call paper. It's 25 sheets of the same patterned paper, The Cinema. Not sure yet how I'll use it, but I can probably make several of "something" and not have to worry about running out of the paper. lol
The clerk told me that their truck next Monday is supposed to have a bunch more craft items on it.
I found some great buys while I was at Tuesday Mornings yesterday.
I bought a Cropper Hopper Sticker Clipper. I'm going to use it to store my Spellbinders and other flat die cuts.
I got some imaginisce paper pack and Safari Chic Giraffe by DCWV. I plan on using the safari paper on my album for the trip I took in June. Part of our trip we went to a safari park.
I also picked up some Spellbinders:
Ribbon Banners LG
Foliage Two
I spend about $23 without tax. I consider it a really big score for me.

I normally wander in there once a month but haven't been lately - after seeing this post, I went by (after making a deposit, probably not a good move!) I was able to stock up on a few 'wish list' items as well as gather up potential holiday gifts for crafty friends!
My splurge today included the adorable Hampton Arts Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer series of wooden stamps for .49c! Had to pick up a few of those huge Cosmo Cricket packages with 12 x 12 papers, mini pad, stamps and embellishments galore ~ what a bargain! And then a few sets of the Spellbinder Edgeabilities and Impressionabilities for $2.99. They had quite a few to chose from, but I could not remember if they were compatible with the Cuttlebug so I left many behind and only purchased the ones that they had one of, just in case
It looks like Christmas in my house!
Thank you! (or as my daughter said, "Uh-oh ... someone's gonna be in trouble!" She was kidding! xoxo

LOVE that "on a paper diet!" ....may have to try that myself!! THANKS
(I think!) for all the enabling gurls!!
Well I finally was able to get to Tuesday Morning. The only Spellbinders they had was one Grand Impressabilities. I asked if there had anything else, and was told only a couple of things had showed up. Alas, I manage to find 3 packages of dp, some very cool Christmas stamps, and very interesting bead case which I'm going to use for organizing my brads. There is always next time!
OK, lucky for me the staff at the across-town TM are NOT crafters! They had put out 3 packages of assorted specialty papers (for $1.99 the package had 4 specialty 12 X 12 sheets {like butterfly die cut sheets or acetate with swirls & rhinestones on it} and 4 of the 6 X 6 sheets. The packages had come from the warehouse with 6 of the $1.99 packages in each, inside a clear overwrap. The packages were supposed to be opened, and displayed individually. Whoever put them out just stuck the whole package on the shelf. So, I ended up with 18 packages for 5.97. They just scanned the top $1.99 price tag through the plastic wrap. Ends up being about 33 cents per package. Got some truly cool sheets at a VERY cool price!
SCORE! Stopped in today. Found packs of die-cut papers or "fancy" paper multipacks that should have been separated in the store, but were not. When I opened one pack that I purchased for $1.99, I found 6 pks inside, each with a price sticker. I was thinking the $1.99/pk was an awesome deal. Now I feel guilty cause I bought all the packs they had.

See post #17. Me too, same thing. Only I KNEW there were several packages in the outer wrap. I, too, bought all they had. Don't feel guilty, it's not your fault they aren't very savvy.
This also happens at my local M. The replenishment team aren't crafty people either and alot of times they don't take the stickers out of the outer packaging.
My Tues. Morning SCORE!!
