Want More: Here are my favorite Places to get Sneaks, they update these daily - so keep looking:

They give updates and pictures, but they are not as fast as I am this year, I still love them!

I have always been a die hard Crate Paper buyer, but I just saw the full line with the birthday party theme and was aghast at how ugly it is. I wasn't interested in a single thing, not even a single sheet of paper! I wasn't all that thrilled with Fourteen either. And I was disappointed that I never got to buy the Sleigh Ride brads (manufacturing problems, I guess? )even though the CP Design Team was using them all over the place. I do hope the other two new collections will be better...

Could you take a look at GCD Studios while at CHA, Rhonda? I like their Pure Bliss, Indian Summer, and especially Charleston lines. The only place I know of that carries them is Scrapbook.com
Posted by: BEA | 01/04/2013 at 03:02 PM
Thank you so much for all the work you do to keep us (your customers) happy. I am so excited it is that time of year to go shopping. Hoping to buy from you before stuff sells out. You have always been my number 1 go to store. I was bummed when I missed out on some stuff this winter, but having a baby will do that. Back to being on top of my game and stocking your store daily!
Posted by: Shanna | 01/04/2013 at 04:23 PM
I have been working hard, I have tons that I could not finish, like the rest of the My Mind's Eye lines that I just got the pictures to download on. I will be finishing those and adding more this weekend. Plus we are doing a huge huge inventory right now. We are re-listing a ton of items and they will go straight to sale. So be on the look out for items you might have missed at a great discount. I will be working all weekend long and into next week on that one.
Posted by: Rhonda | 01/04/2013 at 04:48 PM
The My Mind's Eye reveal was a big disappointment to me. Another go-to manufacturer of mine, yet I didn't like any of it...Well, I liked two sheets of paper in the Unforgettable line, but that's not even worth mentioning. The tape bundles are a nice idea, but just way too much tape for me to ever use :) Plus, I'm picky and like 1 tape from this bundle and 2 from that bundle, etc. Shucks. So far...Glitz is getting the majority of my crafty dollars.
Posted by: BEA | 01/04/2013 at 05:28 PM
Rhonda, do you know what happened to the Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic "Lark" Thickers? And the October Afternoon sprinklers from Make It Merry & Farm Girl? I wanted the Snow Angel & Raspberry Jam. Did they fall victim to manufacturing problems like (I assume) the Crate Sleigh Ride brads?
Posted by: BEA | 01/04/2013 at 05:33 PM
Rhonda,
I don't know if they'll be at CHA, but can you take a look at I Lowe Scrap? I really liked their Winter collections and their new "Divine Line" for Spring is great! They are out of Poland I believe. They have really small collections since they are just starting out, usually just 3 dbl-sided papers and a sheet or two of cutouts/alphas, so maybe it wouldn't be a huge drain on your inventory/budget to try carrying them. They are really popular in the Studio Calico exclusive kit club and the Gossamer Blue kit club. And the only place in the USA you can buy them right now is from Freckled Fawn's webstore and sometimes Gossamer Blue, but they sell out.

http://blog.ilowescrap.com.pl/ is the link to the company, but likely this is going to be expensive to get. I would love to carry Pion Design but they only ship 25 pack sheet sets. There is another company too that I looked into - but the shipping cost more than the papers did. I need to see what sales will be like in the Spring before I can expand to carry more. I want to carry more - I would love to carry really hard to find stuff from overseas.

Can you believe I wrote down 32 New Collections for my 2013 Wish List!??? And that doesn't include the what will come out towards the end of the year!! hahaha... OMG!
On the top of my list is: Teresa Collins, Dear Lizzy, Amy Tangerine, Simple Stories, MME, BoBunny, Glitz Design and Echo Park.
Posted by: damaris velazquez | 01/11/2013 at 09:18 PM
Yes, my wish list is huge too, I can believe it. I have everything you mentioned already on order, I've been busy, blogging and buying. I bought so much and I have so much more to buy. I can't wait until we get it.
I called Prima today and you know what they told me, they are releasing the January and February releases this month. We are so busy listing now that I have people doing it full time.
Posted by: Rhonda | 01/11/2013 at 09:36 PM
Rhonda, Did you order the Basic Grey Basics enamel dots? If so, do you know if they'll be available with the Feb or Apr releases. I have to buy all of these and the MME enamel dots!!!! Thanks so much for this list!
Posted by: Kathie | 01/15/2013 at 10:43 PM
eeek, I am so excited! you have the best online shop and I am so looking forward to buying from you as the new year releases are shipped to you. :>
hugs
Posted by: Linda | 01/15/2013 at 11:57 PM
Thanks Rhonda! I have a gift certificate that I am waiting for Simple Stories 24/7 to arrive and now I need to figure out which collections had the cameras in them that I loved
Posted by: Laura C - Michigan | 01/16/2013 at 03:54 PM
On the Basic Grey Dots Question, Feb Release and of course I bought them in every color, I also bought the studs and a few other goodies.
Thank you all for buying from my store, we are still buying a few companies that were not CHA and we are buying a lot from some of the companies listed. Prima, Graphic 45, Pink Paislee, Crate Paper, American Crafts Dear Lizzy, Webster's and My Mind's Eye are huge orders - meaning the demand for these collections was high enough to do a much bigger order than normal.
I still have not heard from October Afternoon - they should have order forms soon.
Posted by: Rhonda | 01/17/2013 at 09:08 AM
Thanks for the update! I will be here everyday watching for the first stuff!
