Trip to LSS...

We were walking around and dd saw a sign that said scrap for a fee in their scrap room. She thought it was funny and said she is going to start marketing my scrap room for others to come and play. I just laughed and said I just love for people to come and play never mind the dollar an hour.

With that said, I would think the lss would want people to come to their store to scrap just so they buy stuff. It is kind of pricey imho.

Anyway do you have a lss? I have to drive an hour to the nearest to me.

Ours only charges on crop night but she provides us with some good snacks and drinks. Other than that we are free to scrap on our own. I do not think i would pay just for table time. Just me

The LSS that I crop at charges $15 for a late nighter crop (5-11pm). And they do charge $5 if you want to go in randomly and use their big die cut machines. They have so many classes and stuff going that you cant just scrap there randomly. I would never pay the die cut machine charge--I think it is ridiculous. I just wait for a crop. (or they have coupons that offer an afternoon free in the die lab.)

no LSS here we had 2 and both went out of Bus. They never really carried anything of intrest to me anyway. We have a Michaels and Hobby lobby if I'm in a pinch. I buy online alot.

Ours has crops Wed. all day and Friday nights. They charge like 15.00 or 20.00 but the food is really great and you get 10% off anything in the store during the crop. I haven't went to any of them mainly because its kind of small and if you get more than 10 people in there its crowded. I have to spread out when I scrap.

we have an Archivers about 30 minutes away from where I live. We have a Michaels and JoAnns as well. We used to have two very nice independently owned scrapbook stores that ROCKED but they've both gone out of business It just hasn't been the same since!!

I only have 1 LSS close to me, they offer quite a few classes and have crops on Friday nights

I buy most of my supplies online as there is more to choose from

how does it look joyce? this is the one that moved, right? it stinks driving an hour, i just don't have that kind of time to drive 2 hours just to shop...i wish though!

i would rather scrap at your house or andrea's or mine than go there...i have all the stuff i need and it is more relaxed. though that time andrea and i went, the ice cream was yummy! LOL

It's nice and bigger than the old store, but the prices seem high to me. And the only new stuff I saw was the Echo Park, which I picked up along with some MME just because I feel like I need to buy something. A little blue bag and it cost me $30. and not a single stamp! Crazy!

I have a fabulous LSS not too far from me and then three others that are a bit further. The nearest one has crops on Friday nights for $10 and while they are supposed to end at midnight, depending on the peeps playing, I have been there until after 1:00 am! I never get much accomplished, but I love hanging out and catching up with everyone. That is mainly why I go.

i have one LSS and one not so local. i've never cropped at either, but about 4 years ago, there was a LSS where we used to live. They charged $5 for a friday night crop - we started anytime after 5 and stayed until we couldn't keep our eyes open. it was totally worth it for me - i didn't have much space at home to drag out but even if i had, i would have preferred the store. the girls i meet where great and helped me a ton - i learned lots of things just by looking at their layouts while we were there. i was sort of stuck in a rut before that. we'd bring snacks, someone would make a milkshake run, or a starbucks run - it was a blast. i miss those nights.
