Ever since I received Custom Crops "Going Out of Business Sale" newsletter, I quickly head to Custom Crops to select the best price items I can get.

From left to right:

My Favorite Things Pure Innocence I Pick You Stamp Set
As always, my priority goes to Lawn Fawn products. All the Lawn Fawn products are really on sale! If I could and have the budget, I wish I just can add all those dies and stamps into the cart! But unfortunately, I do not have that kind of budget.....:( Thus, I have to be careful with my selection.

Lawn Fawn Circle Stackables
First goes into my selection is the stackables dies. I have selected circle and scalloped circle stackables dies but not the puffy star stackables cause I feel like I seldom make star cards. I actually have both nesting circle and classic scalloped circle from Spellbinder. However, they do not coordinate or stackable or nesting well into each other as the sizes are not the same. If I need them to nest/stack nicely, I need to purchase another two sets. After evaluating such circumstances, I tell myself better to get Lawn Fawn circle and scalloped circle stackables dies as it is more practical and suitable for me. As for the Spellbinder nesting circle and classic scalloped circle, I will let go after this.

Lawn Fawn Critters at the Dog Park Stamp Set
The next things go into my selection is Lawn Fawn Critters at the Dog Park clear stamp and coordinating dies or lawn cuts. I just love this stamp set! The dogs are cute and lovely! Not to mention that this Critters at the Dog Park stamp really coordinates well with Critters in the 'Burb stamp as evidenced by few card makers. I just have to get this Critters at the Dog Park stamp into my collection. I bet my daughter would love some dog images!

Lawn Fawn Making Frosty Friends Lawn Cuts
Well, these four (4) things alone has cost me a lot and has over limit my usual budgeted amount. But then, this is the last chance I can get the best discounted price items! So, I went on to get another Lawn Fawn lawn cuts - the Making Frosty Friends lawn cuts. I have the stamp set but I have to admit I rarely use it. However, I still want to have its lawn cuts because with it, I think I might start to use it much. I can die cuts a bunch of snowman and ask my daughter to mix and match its accessories.

I pick another wishlist which is the Lawn Fawn Year Two. I especially like the sentiment 'belated' as well as the turtle indicating its slowness of sending birthday wishes which is reflecting myself most of the time! I know, I know.....need to change that habit but sometimes things are not happening as we planned. So, this is a good mini stamp set to these occasions. :P

My Favorite Things Pure Innocence I Pick You Stamp Set
The last item I put into the cart is My Favorite Things Pure Innocence I Pick You stamp. I just could not resist the cute girl holding a bunch of flowers which can be used for lot of occasions - birthday, thanks, friendship and etc!

Well, that sum up the items I want to get from Custom Crops for the last time! In the end, after adding up the shipping charges, I end up ordering the most expensive order - close up to USD$100! For those in the USA, USD$100 might be a small amount but for me, it is a hole in my wallet! But then, I this is my last order and I am glad that I able to get most of my wishlist from Custom Crops "Going Out of Business Sale" and my last support towards them.

It took Custom Crops a while, 12 days to be exact to ship out my parcel whereby usually they takes about one to two days to ship out the parcel. I guess it is really a lot of people taking advantage of Custom Crops "Going Out of Business Sale". Then, few days ago, I received a refund confirmation from Custom Crops. The Lawn Fawn Year Two stamp is not available.....:(

The most expensive parcel finally arrived today and it is a relief because it really hurts a lot on both financially and emotionally if the parcel is missing. Since I purchased another set of nesting dies, both of my nesting circle and classic scalloped circle from Spellbinder will be let go.

I sincerely send my best wishes to Custom Crops and its staffs for the best service they have served me throughout these two (2) years plus.
