Yesterday, I actually ventured off to my LSS, AC Moore and Michaels to pick up some needed supplies and also a few things for the class. I had not been shopping in ages, so it was nice to get out of the house, plus I had money put away and had saved up about $100 to take with me. I also took along my coupons and did well.
AC Moore had all the Cricut products on sale, so I picked up on set of Vinyl, which we will use in class, plus an extra set of 12X12 Mats, along with a few small things form the Clearance row. My next stop was Michael's and I always start in the Clearance where I happily found two Martha Stewart punches I had been wanting on sale for $4.95. I also picked up a new Marvy punch at 40% off and some glue and adhesives. The last thing I bought there was some Bazzill Cardstock (also on sale) and a 12X12 Frame also for a project.
I ended my spree at my LSS, which is my absolute favorite store. I could spend hours in there, because they have all the newest products, its so much better than either of the chain stores and has much better stamps too. I bought some Memory Box papers (2 sets) which I love, and also found some gorgeous Asian style papers that will work out great on this project. I also stocked up on on Bazzill Cardstock and picked up a lot of new colors and colors that would go well with my new papers. I had a coupon for 20% off my entire purchase, so I did very well.
I am off now to watch Martha Stewart and the Craft Shows on HSN! I wonder if there where be any fabulous deals that I MUST have!! I'm still trying to stick to my 24 hour rule. This really helps me to make sure I want things. I put them in my cart and then sleep on it...you'd be amazed at how many time, I find the next day, I am NOT as interested. I really think sometimes the hype makes me jump on the idea, but then I find I am not as interested the next day!! It's a great tip and hint and helps me be a more frugal shopper!! and see if there are deals that I need to have. LOL!! I do like her punches, but I have a least one punch of both sets she has today, so they are not going to be for me! :)
Happy Crafting and if you are watching HSN - Happy Shopping!!

What good buys you found. Good luck with the cricut class. I would take it but too broke right now. Too many medical expenses and Dr. bills. Oh well, I have tons of stuff so not going to worry about what I can;t do. Have a great day and have fun with the class.
Wow! Lis! What a haul! What MS punches did you get! $4.95 Wowzer I would have definitely jumped on that! I am glad you had a great day! Sounds like you are feeling much better and for that I am grateful!
Big Hugs!
