How long could you go without

[Sdscrapper]

However, that doesn't stop me from regretting the last of something I really like being used up, or lamenting I didn't have the foresight to buy more of a certain supply when I decide that's exactly what I want for a specific project. I'm kind of glad I shopped all through the heyday of this hobby; I've got a treasure trove of stuff in my stash that you can't buy now. Yeah, it may be a lot of stuff, but I don't hoard it (as in I won't use it because I like it too much), I just haven't gotten around to using it yet!

Said so well!!

I have a lot of stuff but I eventually use it.
Those footballs of tape are so much fun

I'm with Monica. I'm actually close to having to order another "football"

Adhesive would be the first thing I'd run out of... depending on how much crafting I did I'd say 2-3 months maybe? Paper I might run out of in another 10-15 years.... assuming I never bought another sheet!

The only difference being that mine doesn't come in football form....mine comes from a trip to Target! I never got into the ATG guns (way too bulky for me), but the Scorch double-sided adhesive refills work just fine.

I don't get the 'football' reference at all either!

I don't get the 'football' reference at all either!

Framing Supplies sends the tape refills wrapped in bubble wrap and a ton of packing tape in the shape of a football. I do believe you have to buy 12 refills to get this.

Thanks, Pat, for explaining. I'll sleep better tonight knowing what it means

Glad to ease your mind Marianne.

I didn't know what they were all talking about originally either Marianne until Miz Beki told me. I never paid any attention to how the tapes came. I do order at least 12 at a time but they do last for quite a while. I think I have 4 rolls left and since Framingsupplies is here in NC any order I place I receive the next day.

Whenever I've ordered a box of 12 rolls, it comes in a box! Last time I ordered, the cheapest place was someone on ebay.

[jmp1022]

be careful when ordering from ebay. I got a box and the stuff was sh** , wouldn't unroll, paper tore, it was awful

[mpizzazz]

Thanks, Jill, I made sure I got the Scotch with the gold and black wrapper on each roll. I've heard those horror stories about the cheap stuff. What I got wasn't cheap just slightly 'cheaper'.

I ordered from Amazon last time and it was way cheaper than Framing Supplies and I got free shipping with my prime membership.
