Small world! Lapeer is a very nice community to live in. My kids actually go to North Branch Schools just north of Lapeer. Thanks for chatting!

My sis lives in Saginaw. She has an Alpaca Farm! I headed there for the 4th of July weekend to stamp our hearts out! I've got her hooked, but she's smarter than me. She lets me buy everything then has me load my car up with everything for her to use! Maybe I should start charging her to cover my fees... LOL __________________

Hello from Holland, MI! I love SCS ~ it has really inspired me to stamp more, rather than let all my stamps and supplies collect dust. I "used to be" too busy to stamp, but now I make the time for it. In fact, I just signed up to be a SU demo this week, mostly thanks to SCS for getting me fired up. I am so excited (still waiting anxiously for my kit to arrive)!

Yes, I agree.
It helps cheer up others. One lady I know, recieved a flood of cards (she is very ill) she kept reading them and looking at them over and over. Sending a card, tells the other person "I care about you and I am thinking about you", when they are very sad, sick or feeling lonely. It can also add to a celebration. I just sent my neice one for her college graduation and she was so thrilled! She carried it around in her purse and showed her friends. It also makes the sender feel good too! Yes Cards are terrific!

Hi all ... I'm originally from North Branch (the original poster of this thread is my sister-in-law -- she introduced me to SCS and she's responsible for my stamping and scrapbooking habits , I went to Saginaw Valley State University ... nice to see so many people from both of my "former" homes. I still love the Saginaw area. Wouldn't mind living back that way someday. I currently live in the middle of the state in a VERY small town called Six Lakes. Yes there are six lakes here, but that's about it. |

Hello and Welcome from another Michigander!! I live in the Tri-City area (Midland, Saginaw, Bay City)....Midland to be exact.....shop in Bay City and work in Saginaw....LOL
IF anyone is interested.....I found the cutest little stamp store in Clare, Michigan (right off I-127). She claims to carry 20,000 stamps (and I believer her....lol) The name of the shop is "The Apple Tree Lane" (right on Main Street of a town of 2,500) and she also carries EVERY kind of yarn you can imagine....LOL ....Crafters beware!!.....LOL....I spent 4 hours in her store just browsing....and of course buying....LOL |

Question, you enabler you! ;) I'm one of those I only know where I go kind of drivers. I take M57 all the way to I-127. Is Clare between there and the Alma exit? I think I need to find this place! __________________

OMG, you're gonna make me pull out the atlas.....LOL
OK, Clare is still north of Mt. Pleasant (half way point)....it looks like Clare is about 30 miles north of Alma!! Clare is where I-127 and M-10 meet!!
YES, this store is a store you HAVE to visit at least once!! Besides all the stamps she has, she also sells the Twinkling H2O's, Pearl X individual containers, Dreamweaver Stencils and Pastes, and the Art Institute Glitter, Acetate and glues, Lyra WaterColor Crayons...none of which I can find throughout the Tri-Cities!! Oh, I found one of the GIGA Scalloped Oval Craft Punch....LOL Oh, plus when you buy 12 stamps, she takes the average cost of them and you get a free stamp of equal or lesser value!! Since I told her I was coming back, she set me up as a customer and that way, I won't buy the same stamp twice through her! Neat huh?!!
The front of the store has hand made candles (I think made by the Omish), Boyd Bear Collections, (gosh, I wish I payed more attention...lol) she had one aisle of all the University's...U of M, M State, CMU.....dang, I'm drawing a blank on what I seen....LOL Anyway, the back of the store is all stamps and stamping/scrapping supplies. The other half of her store is YARNS and patterns and needles!! Anyway, you really need to see this place for yourself.....You'll LOVE it!! |

Yes, name of the road, East of some bar on a corner and West of a Church but across from a big read barn!:mrgreen:
I'm a landscape driver too!
Looks like I'll be hitting Jack's Produce/Meat Market when I get there -BEST chicken breasts and beef around! and I'll have to do a road trip to Clare on the way home. My two loves are stamping and knitting/crocheting!! Sounds like my kind of store! __________________
