You mean coupons????? I couldn't resist. I've been starting on Christmas presents and needed some coupons for yarn this week. So when I bought my Sunday paper I bought 2, then when I saw that the coupon for Michael's was a 50% coupon and not the normal 40%, I bought a third. Then yesterday as I was walking out the front door, I picked up that pesky ad paper that gets delivered on Mondays or Tuesdays and was getting ready to throw it inside, when it hit me....check for Michaels....OH YEAH!!! 4 coupons for Michaels this week. I've been buying Homespun yarn by Lion Brand and getting coordinating fun fur at the sale price of $3.18 and I'm working on kicking out some great Christmas scarfs. For the men, I'm using a yarn that I've only found at JoAnn's so that's what I've been using my 40% off coupons for there...What a great week!!!
I bought a second brayer. It's my new favourite toy and I wanted one for black ink and one for colour ink only. I had two coupons, so I also used one to buy a nice scrapbook for my mom for her Christmas present.
Does Michael's have the watercolor crayons? If so...what section would they be in.
My plan for the 50% coupon is actually non-stamping. I want to get an "Army" album to put the scrapbook pages in from my Dad's funeral. I'm also considering a case to put the flag in that I received. I was going to buy one on ebay (it's bigger and has space for other memoribilia) but at 50% I might just get one at Michael's for the time-being so I can get it out of it's current garbage bag home!
I usually tend to buy magazines or books with my coupons. Is the new Take Ten at Michael's yet? That'd be another item on my wishlist.
I actually took my Michaels coupon over to the PaperZone where I saved $40 on a roll of Kraft paper. It's a HUGE roll. I am planning to do the tear and paste technique on my entire bedroom. Then you paint over the Kraft paper and get a sort of textured looking surface.
I got a roll of copper tape that I want use to go around some microscope slides and make ornaments for Christmas. I've had the slides for awhile so I'm so anxious to get time to play with them now! It was a $7 roll of tape (small package though) so the 50% was a nice help.
One of my favs is to use my coupon for etching cream. I love stamping and doing Coleen Kidder's glass etching technique but the cream is expensive!
My daughter is getting married in July and I want to do a scrapbookfor her (I have never scrapped before sowish me luck). Anyway I bought a beautiful wedding scrapbook-saved $15!!

My Michaels did not have the watercolor crayons when I went in today with my coupon in hand and the manager told me he had never heard of them. I suggested he look them up!
I know that Hobby Lobby has watercolor crayons back in their fine art section. Maybe Michaels has there's in the same section? By the Prismacolor pencils and pastel sticks.

Going to our brand new AC Moore! I have 2 Michael's 50%, one AC Moore 50%, and a Joanne's 40%! I know I am buying a brayer for one of my customers.....beyond that I don't know. I really don't have any extra $$ to spend this week. I'll probably get mono refills or soemthing silly like that!
I've looked in 2 different Michaels and an ACMoore, none of them have carried the WCC. I got the SU ones, and I love them! Kicking myself that I wasted probably 5 gallons of gas trying to save money on the WCC, LOL!

I saw your work today - very nice! I have a huge bottle that I should try...bought it on close out two years ago! Yup...can't miss a sale, even if I don't use it!
I did buy Designing with Stamping...I never buy a magazine or book without a coupon!!
I finally picked up a bone folder. I've needed one for a long time, and it's just not that fun of an item to buy, KWIM? So getting it half off made it easier. I actually used my coupon at Joann's and I also got 3 really cute stamps on clearance, all school related stamps. I actually have one more coupon in my purse but no more cash so I guess that's all that I'll be getting this time around. I really need to get a new Versamark pad, mine is not looking too well these days.
