I was at Michaels today and saw an aisle or two of the scrapping section being redone. They were half empty, with what looked like new shelves and hooks going up. Saw some new 12" paper pads, too, one of which I bought today: "Paper Doll Die Cut Paper Pad" by K&Company. It's beautiful! Alas, I don't see it on K&Co's website to show a picture of it here.
I'm guessing this is going on at all Michaels nationwide. What are you gals finding at your local stores?

I haven't been to Mikes in over a week, they were still trying to get rid of all the old K & Co. I can't wait to see their new stuff, they are one of my favorite lines. | |

I was there yesterday and the whole SB section looked like it was getting a makeover. Especially the stamping aisle. They had a whole row of new acrylic stamps. Glee! |

I went to a store yesterday and the sb section was turned upside down. Lots of boxes everywhere and everything was getting moved around.
I caught some peeks of some paper pads; some MAMBI and some other brand (can't recall the name) they they recently started carrying, I believe.
LOTS of new acrylic stamps and lots were already out of the shelves. I picked up a really cute Reminisce set w/monsters. Reminded me of the OA ones
I can't wait to see all the new goodies. Hopefully I can make a trip this weekend or early next week. They should be done putting it all out by then, I think |

One of my M's looked like it was redoing the stamping section earlier this week. But I probably am going to have to say "done buying" for awhile. |

My M's changed to a new generation store last year and the scrap section was amazing. And that was it. They haven't changed anything. They hardly ever get anything new.
I've been checking almost every other day for the new making memories vintage findings kits and this M's store didn't get it (at least not yet). The K & Co. A-Z line was out for about 10 minutes before they put the whole thing on clearance. They never got the K & Co Valentine collection.
I'm really frustrated with that store! |

My M's in Canada is getting a makeover too... it looked like they were moving lots of aisles around and the K & Co aisle was completely empty. They did have all the new MM Vintage Finding's stuff though. Cant wait for new stuff, I like K & Co! |

I was just in my M's today and no new stuff out yet but a ton of clearance and hubby picked up some cute things for me to buy. Do I have a great scrubby or what? (scrubby= scrapbook hubby) |

I was at M's last weekend and they had 3 aisles that were empty. I am hoping by now they have restocked. |

We just have new paper pads out. There is a new Amy Butler pad from K&Co. I really liked the price, 36 pages of double-sided 12x12, for $9.99. They also had a very pretty SEI pad, with autumn colors, called Moravia. Several other paper pads from the usual companies, so looking for more goodies after they restock the regular aisles. | |

I went back today and bought a paper pad that will be perfect for our umpteen RVing/outdoorsy photos. Out of all the outdoors/camping papers I've ever seen, these are by far my fave. A lot more of the scrapping area was bare, and about half a dozen workers (2 per aisle) were busy taking old stuff down and putting new price labels up. Didn't see any additional new stuff beyond what I saw yesterday.
Here's a picture of that Paper Doll paper pad I first got, and the outdoorsy one I got today:

I just went to Michaels today to return something and i quickly ran down the aisles and the new K&Co Amy Butler 12 x 12 pad caught my eye immediately! and only 9.99 (also with a 40% off coupon!). I had to leave to pick up DS, but i also noticed that there is an entire aisle cleared out, so hopefully, it will be filled soon with some awesome new products! |

Ruh Roh. I stopped in today and saw all the new paper packs. The Amy Butler is awesome! Actually, they all are. I found the Blue Awning pack from K & Co. for $4.97 so I snagged the last one. And I picked up one more Sizzix font. Bad girl. | |

I work at a Michaels. Entirely new/redone scrap section is coming. This is probably happening in all M's as the company likes to stay consistent. Not sure when it will be done. Probably another week or more. | |
