Supply Replenishment No.02

AE_SupplyNo2

As we get back in gear around here (meaning I’m making more traditional layouts & completing Project Life® 2013) one of the things I thought would be fun is to share what products I’m purchasing from time to time.

Here's a look at the order I placed on National Scrapbook Day from Scrapbook.com:

Memory keeping products come my way from a combination of sources. Sometimes companies send me samples of their new products. Sometimes I will request specific products from companies when I have a particular use in mind (such as for a workshop). Sometimes I'm the one designing the products. And other times I order supplies from companies because I like the simplicity of picking and choosing and supporting both the online retailers and the manufacturers with my own money.

When I buy items from online retailers I don’t always have a project in mind. Most of the time I just see something I like (cool pattern, color, etc) or I’m restocking something I use regularly (adhesive, pens, etc).

My question to you today - when I do this kind of post do you like to have the supplies listed like we have them below or would you rather see a visual list like when I do supply lists on products (where you can see and then click on the products)? I'd love your feedback on that if you have a minute.

Here's a list of products from my recent order from Scrapbook.com that I'm showing in the video above:

Watch for these products to be appearing on layouts & projects in the near future.

    I'm in the visual camp…the list just doesn't do anything for me. I like hearing you explain why you like certain products!!

    I LOVE THE VIDEO!! Please make more!!!
    The way you do the list is not that important (because you name all the products in the video), whichever is easier for you is the winner. You're awesome.

    I love seeing hauls because you can then see the real item instead of a computer product shot. Looking forward to more!

    Another vote for the visual list -- If it's not to much extra work ;)

    Wow, you got some fun items! I guess I like visual then I can click on what I want, but I don't really care. I just can't wait to see what you do with all of these fun new products!! Thanks for sharing.

    Looks like the visuals are popular! I'm okay with either, but because I sometimes have problems with pictures coming up, the clickable list like you have in this post is good for me.

    I think it's funny the fascination I have with what other people are ordering, but I really do enjoy these posts and looks like I'm not alone.

    Thank you for the video. Love the visual list, rather than a name. I loved that you talked about what you might use something for, from the purchases. Always helpful.
    Aloha, Kate

    I'm a visual person and would like to see a visual list, rather than a video. I love your updates and seeing the new products.

    Way in the minority here but I prefer lists. I don't like videos ( I REALLY don't like it when someone says to me `hey, watch this YouTube video, it only takes a minute' REALLY don't like that!) I like words, pictures not so much!

    Thinking about it, another reason I prefer lists is that postage from the US to Australia is just outrageous. Therefore I need all the details written down so I can try to source the items here. We do have good sources here, thankfully. In the past when I have gone to order from US sources the postage almost always is the same or more than the items

    I prefer the visual list. It's a much faster scan when I don't have time to watch a whole video.
