Bargain Hunting

 

Bargain find at Office Depot

Some days are for work.  Some days are for art.  Some days are for SHOPPING! Tuesday, Shelly Hickox and I went out to lunch and then had to stop by Hobby Lobby. Shelly bought a cool new toy called "the Slice" and I sure hope she lets me play with it.  (It is a scalable, electronic diecut machine that is tiny and portable.) All the Christmas items were 80% off - practically giving it away in our opinion. Buying ornaments with Shelly was fun!  Nothing was bought with the intention of hanging it on a tree. Everything will be deconstructed. I bought rhinestone ornaments that I could pry the stones out of. Shelly found an ornament that would make a great fairy skirt.  I bought some baubles on wires that looked like toy balloons for my new Fairy images.  Everything had such potential! (Maybe it seemed that way because the items were so inexpensive.  I would have a much harder time tearing up something I paid full price for.)

Today, on an office errand, I scored at Office Depot!  The Depot had these "Create your own computer invitations" kits on massive mark down.  The kit includes 50 Handmade Paper Invitations and 50 envelopes to fit them.  It has 50 Translucent vellum papers, 50 cream colored ribbons, 50 response cards and 50 card sized envelopes!  All of this was only TWO DOLLARS! I was unable to resist.  I was tempted to buy them all, but reality set in and saved my attic space.  Now, to think of a vellum project...

Well, if I can't get the bargains myself, I really like hearing about others getting them:)
Sounds like quite a score!
