What is the name of your LSS?

[Disneywed]

I only have a few here and only one has a really great name...so I was thinking, what are they called all over? I know if I was to open one (not) I would agonize over a great name...

my fave local one is called Your Happy Place I have actually not been there as there is one with a lame name closer, but I love the name!

So? what are yours?

[PMR]

We have so many in our area--
Wholly Scrap! (my favorite name)
Ink about it
Scrapbookers Dream
Absolutely Everything
Crop Shop
Colorful Creations
there are others

[RubberLady603]

We only have one nearby, (50 mins or so) so I'm jealous that you have so many!!!
It does have a great name though. It's called "Stamping Memories". It's a great little store in Belmont, N.H.

Sounds like I need to get down there for a tour!! LOL!!

[kdriesen]

There used to be two in my town, but there is now only one. The old was was called Lett's Scrapbook (the owner's name was Lettie, I think), and the current one is A Walk Down Memory Lane.

[stampnangel]

The only LSS close to me is inside a BIG furniture store called Create A Room and the scrapbooking portion is called Scrapbooking by Lisa....its HUGE!!! I only go about every 3 months or so and I swear pretty soon there will be no furniture left in the store and it will be all stamping/scrapbooking supplies...I'm not complainig LOL

[jazzytobi]

I have a few in my area:

Precious Memories
Clipper Street
Urban Trends Scrapbook Company
Photo Express

... those are the ones near me.

If you mean the one on Long Island (NY) then it is closed but two of the ladies associated with the store hold crops. I live in Dutchess County so only got there twice (once after the email notice they were closing). If you want to, send me your email address and I can forward the next newsletter they send (I may still have one in my inbox).

My LSS is closing (may already be closed - I moved about 25 miles away recently) but it was called Around the Corner (because it was ... from the main strip of stores).

[Crafts]

The closest one to me is called Simple Pleasures. It's inspiring just to walk in and wander through the aisles.

[jkstampin]

Lets see.... here's the ones I can think of:
Unique Creations
The Scrapbook Nook
Cindy's Simple Pleasures
The Scrappy Stamper
Monkey Love
Impress

I hope to get there this weekend, my parents have a cottage nearby. I haven't been there since they moved.

Secret Garden {white bear Lake}
I think there is one down in Rochester.

caroline
Minnetonka, MN

[Rubbernecker]

Our closest one is Stamp Thyme. I'm not sure of the reason for the herbal reference - it might be in their logo though.

[Lola G.]

One of these is about an hour-and-a-quarter drive; the rest are within 50 minutes:
Beautiful Impressions
Great American Stamp Store
Wiggles and Giggles
New England Scrapbook Company
Scrapbook Clubhouse
Memory Lane
Stamp and Scrap Nest

Another Massachusetts one, right in the town where I live, is called Right At Home Scrapbooking.

Scrapbook Island
Scrapbook Cabin
Stamping Memories
Art Plus (they do framing too)

[Joan B]

Northern VA (Reston) Angela's Happy Stamper. www.ahappystamper.com

LOVE Angela and her store. Well worth a trip.

[cat_woman]

For the one's I can think of at the moment here in Calgary:
Scrapbooker's Paradise (little pricey but nice selection)
Paper Pastimes (not too bad prices but really nice stamp selection)
Scrapbooker's Bliss
Scrapbook Pantry
Scrapbook Sally's
Scrap Yard

That's all I can think of right now

[jansy]

We've got an Archiver's (of course), and there's a local chain along the Wasatch Front called Robert's Crafts. And a little independent called Pebbles in My Pocket (which I always refer to as "rocks in my socks"...but then I'm kinda twisted...LOL).

[JenMarie]

Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, GA

[Cartermrc]

There's Stamp-O-Rama and Scrappin-Times in nearby towns. Both are small with tiny inventories. No Archivers or Hobby Lobby around here, I would love to see one of those someday! The 2 Joann's near us are awful-too small and seem to always have areas of almost empty shelves and the rest of the stores are full of really old stock and non-crafting junk. So I'm thrilled with SU and internet sources.

[Erin K]

Mine are:
Crop Shop
Scrap and Stamp
Claires Collectables
Pictures in Time (everyone calls it Pit)
That's all I can think of, there is also ones known as:
"That one on 17"
"I think there is one over on the North Side"
and
"Isn't there one out at the beach"

There used to be one called Scrapdoodled and I love that name.

[53queenbee]

Scrapbook Barn in far north Dallas but we still call it Carrollton.

Scrappy K's in Winnsboro (East Texas) and, yes, I drive 2 hours to go to that one.

Delightful Hands (knitting and scrapping) in Celina TX.

[vicnvin]

In my town we have:

Creative Clutter
Remember When...Scrapbooking
and
Scrapbooking made simple

Where is "Wholly Scrap" some how I must have missed that one. I've been in the rest of them. Luckily for my wallet though all but the Crop Shop (which isn't that far) are a good 40 minute drive from home.

[53queenbee]

Forgot--the one is Waco is Crop, Paper, Scissors.

[craftjunkiesc]

I can think of two non-chain LSS in Columbia. One is Scrappin' Creations in the northeast and the other is The Stamping Place on the west side. May be others, but I'm not aware of them. I can spread my money around these two quite easily!

[purplejazzy652]

I have the Crop shop and Scrapbook Cupboard.

[jemur]

Within 2 hrs of me we have Wanna Scrap?, Page Break and Scrappin your way.

[Paula in GA]

We've had two close, but I love one in Jacksonville. It's called A Small Cleverness. Great place. Wish there were some closer, but none.

[buggainok]

We have one pretty close called My Heart's Fancy. It is a gift shop/stamping store combination.

[gargyrle55]

Close to Wichita we have......
Scrappin' Time.....Derby
Scrap FunAttic.....Andover
Scrapbook Garden
We still have Hobby Lobby, Micheals, And a small JoAnns.

(LOVE Wholly Scrap!!)
