Scrap Stores in the Costa Mesa, New Port Beach or San Juan Capistrano Area??
 
Hello Ladies :) My family and I are going to be in the Southern California, Orange County, area next weekend and I was wondering if anyone knew of any scrap shops in the O.C. or if there were any at all down in So Cal that you knew of. I went to a shop called the Red Bee (in Tustin), and that was all I could find! I looked up 3 before we went to San Juan Capistrano/New Port Beach/Costa Mesa, last August, but they were all closed when we got there!! I have already been to all of the JoAnns & Micheals, I'm really interested in any LSS they have down there. Can anyone help me?? Is there any place at all down there to finger tip through the scrap stuff? Please help me! :)

Hi Lutheran, Thank you so very much for your help! I really, really appreciate it so very much. I can't figure out why I missed these in my search last August on my computer.
Where is Timeless Treasures, again? I can't seem to figure out what RSM stands for, sorry :)
I know what you mean, all the great LSS's are closing left and right. In the past two years 2 LSS's closed (1 hour away). I now have to either drive 1 hour to get to 2 shops, drive 2 1/2 hours to get to a better shop, or drive another 2 1/2 hours north to get to a Great shop. It breaks my heart to see them close! LSS's have so much better stuff. And I can't buy my paper anywhere else, because I can't do it online. I like to match my cardstock to my designer papers :)
Thank you oh so much again!! :)

Sorry for the long delay. RSM is Rancho Santa Margarita, just east of Mission Viejo. Timeless Treasures has been around a long time and they have TONS of product. Still working on adding to the list!

There's supposed to be a new store in Tustin right off the 55 freeway at 17th Street--it's owned by the same people who own the store by the Ontario Mills--I believe it's called Wootens?? I haven't been there--my DH said there was a banner that you could see from the freeway, but the banner's not there anymore.....

Thank you for all of your help Ladies :) We went this past weekend and had a great time. And I decided to keep it to visiting just 2 shops so the weekend wasn't all about me (LOL :). I decided to check out Wooten's and Debra's Cottage. I am happy to say that Wooten's had every paper imaginable!! I had the hardest time not going crazy in there. If I wasn't trying to watch my pennies so much I could have spend about $80 easily! :( So I let myself spend only $40 (still working on the self control, you know).
Debra's Cottage is really nice with allot of stamps and scrapbooking stuff in there. I picked up 2 Very large, nice Thomas Kinkade stamps for 45% off!! I paid about $8 each! I'm so happy with those two stamps.

Next time we visit the area I'm going to check out Tall Mouse and Timeless Treasures. I just can't wait!

Anyway, thank you for your help with all the suggestions, I couldn't have spent it all with out you - LOL ;)
