This was shared to me via email, thought you all would get a kick out of it too.
Hello Amy, I have a funny story to share with you. I have been trying to order one of your papers on 2Peas for several months. Everytime it comes in, I put it in my cart, but when I get ready to hit the BUY button, the paper is already sold out. It’s happened 3 different times at 2peas. Anyway, I decided to travel to a scrapbook store 2 towns over and try to get this specific paper. This is the conversation I had with the sweet lady trying to help me in the scrapbook store.
ME– I’m looking for the Amy Tangerine LOVE paper. It’s kraft with the word LOVE in white all over it.
Saleslady — What? Who?
Me – Amy Tangerine, she has collections with American Crafts.
Saleslady — Who? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Me — WHAT? Amy Tangerine is the Julia Roberts of the scrapbooking world. How in the world could you not know who she is?
Saleslady — Julia who?
Me — You know, Pretty Woman?
Saleslady — Are we still talking about scrapbooking here?
ME– LOL — shaking my head as I walk out of the store with no Amy Tan paper.
Anyway — I wanted to share that conversation with you. I hope it makes you smile today.
Very funny
I too had trouble getting that paper! I ended up getting it from Acherryontop.
Haha! I hope she finds the paper soon!
Haha how funny.
But indeed, you are the Julia Roberts of Scrapbooking
Greet, Tine
nothing MORE FRUSTRATING than going into a freakin’ scrapbooking store and having employees who do not know ANYTHING about the products!!
HAHAHA – that is really hilarious. Now I wish I would have picked up that paper. I saw it at my LSS and decided I didn’t *need* it but now you’ve reminded me of it again
It’s super cute, btw.
LOL… what a funny convo…
wow wee that is too funny… and that lady works at the Scrapbook store.. hmmmm
Too funny! Unfortunately, I’ve had similar experiences in my local scrapbook stores. I have no idea how it can be possible they’ve not heard of your products!
At first glance, I thought this was a convo *you* had with store lady. LOL!
BTW, I like you way better than Julia Roberts. Just sayin’.
HA!
Funny! Though a bit sad that someone who sells scrapbook supplies hasn’t heard of Amy Tangerine. Or American Crafts.
I can relate! You don’t live near Savannah, do you? I have had a similar conversation at the only shop for about 100 miles near me!
That’s hilarious!
ha!
So funny. Thanks for sharing the story and making me smile today.
Thank you for sharing that funny story.
Aww wish she found your paper. What kind of person in a scrapbook store has never heard of Amy Tan?? And she’s the sales lady??!!? You are like the scrapbook queen!
OK…the gal that emailed you… We all need someone like her in our lives. She’s a gem. What a marvelous attitude she has! This story had me spewing my hot tea on the keyboard. A great story — except for the fact that she left empty-handed. Thank you Amy for sharing it.
Send the gal some paper!!!
she sounds like the lady who owns my LSS but then it only stocks Bo Bunny LOL
This story cracked me up, too funny. I agree it is an awesome piece of paper.
One of the SC kits has it, maybe there is some in stock
Haha, that totally reminds me when you were in Germany last year teaching – at the beginning of that week my friend Dana and I went to a japanese bookbinding class. And while Dana and the shop owner were out of the room, cutting paper and such, I started a conversation with the remaining six ladies about paper crafting. I said: Yeah on Friday there’s this big scrapbooking event with Amy Tan and I’m so excited to go there, any of you ladies going there, too? Blank expressions on the faces of everyone in the room ^^ I try to explain: Amy Tan? Amy Tangerine? American Crafts? Do you know Kelly Purkey? – Nothing. Later on I told Dana about it and she couldn’t stop laughing ^^ Sometimes there’s nothing more hilarious than awkward silence
Oh no, I know the feeling. I would send her one of my sheets I found here in NYC. I know the feeling, I tried to get the paper from 2peas and I always miss out. lol
Where in NYC DID YOU FIND the paper? I’ve been looking for it too.
Hi Connie, I found the paper at Paper Presentation on 18th street between 5th and 6th. Love that store!
Ha, pretty funny story! But WOW! It really bugs me that people who work or own a scrapbook store should absolutely know the industry and the products. Hmm…could possibly be why alot of them are going out of business. i LOVE that paper!!
Hello Amy — Just wanted to let you know that I did finally get that paper and I ordered multiples!! I still laugh when I think about this conversation and I’m glad that others are getting a kick out of it too!
HOw dare she not know the Amy Tan LOVE paper! It’s only the best paper, like Ever! EVER! =)
