I love the excitement of opening a grab bag! This was definitely a Christmas in August bag. Do I need any more Christmas paper??? NOOOOO! But almost a complete 49 and Market Vicki B collection?? Yes please!

This mistery bag is amazing! Don’t listen to the Karens. They’re the reason we can’t have nice things. A Cherry On Top is a wonderful craft store. Saying they basically put the bottom of the barrel in these bags is so wrong. Do you honestly think they would disrespect their customers like that? Leave that to a Michael’s. You want a bag full of Stamperia, buy Stamperia at its value. Enough with this entitled mentality. It’s like buying a mystery bag from Saks and expecting everything to be Chanel. Please.

The items contained in this "grab bag" were bottom of the barrel or inventory no one willingly purchased. There were alot of 12x12 papers, I counted 29 sheets. Maybe 5 sheets were my aesthetic, the rest were not. Looks like they are getting rid of Xmas, pets & ugly floral prints. Many paper scraps and cards. My box also contained 2 alphabet sheets which only contain the Letters A-N. LOL! This box also contained stencils, chipboard, a die set (floral sneakers) & a 6x6 paper pad (baby girl), again, stuff I would never purchase.

There was a Stamperia rice paper sheet and a Simon Hurley stamp set, that I would have never purchased, but can use. This box wasn't worth the price, even with the discount.

Mystery boxes are hit or miss, and I truly understand this. However, I think it also depends on the store. Some stores actually have grab bags where at the very least, there are 3-4 really good items to offset all the rejects. This is the first and last time I will purchase a mystery box from this store.

This was a huge disappointment, as I will pretty much be donating the entire box. I gave this 2 stars because I actually knew better, but wanted to give ACOT a chance with their mystery grab bags. I will stick to individual items at this location. I have searched several times for reviews for previous ACOT grab bags, and could never find reviews (good or bad). I guess this will go away when the box sells out, and the next person won't know any better!

If I had to summarize this “summer” warehouse grab bag in 3 words…antiques, dogs and Christmas. If this is what you are looking for you will be very happy with this grab bag.

I'm normally pretty skeptical about grab bags, but this one was pretty cool! There was LOTS of paper inside ( great collection and mix of newer paper lines and older ). There were also coordinating scraps- not sure if that was on purpose but a great touch! There were stamps, dies and wooden embellishments as well- again, great mix! Worth the buy!
