Sprucing Up the Old Bloggeroo

I've gone through this blog and changed a few things. The background (Fall theme) and updated the sites I have on the right side. Some links no longer worked and others had a long period of inactivity so off they went.

I've also been scouring the web for new info and I found a couple.
If you haven't heard the Bazzill 100 pc pack sold @ michaels for $29.99 is on CLEARANCE for $7.99 that makes it down to about .7 cents a sheet! Grab some while you can!

If you like sketches and Becky Fleck She's come out with a 2nd book Scrapbook Pagemaps 2.  I really liked her first book so I'm putting this on my Christmas/Birthday list.  Another little treasure I found is a FREE  Ezine  called Scrapbook and Cards Today and the Editor and Chief is Becky Fleck. Nice thing is that it's FREE.  You can either view it on the site or download a PDF file- pretty cool!
I'm in the process of dowloading the past issues so I can read them in my spare time (yeah right). Maybe I'll print them out and take them with me to Dr's Appointments. Much more interesting than magazines telling me who the Bachelor is with this week, lol.

It seems that I've been in Michaels several times this past week. Honestly they should have Concierge Service. Wouldn't it be nice to place an order via the web and then just go pick it up? Hmm, I maybe onto something.....
 I was there on Saturday and used Joann's 50% off coupon plus the 20% off everything coupon and I bought the Martha Stewart Iron Gate Border Punch.. I figure I can use it alot by cutting off the bats.  I just wish Cricut would make borders like these or start to include borders into their carts in general. Cart about blow fishes? Add a blow fish border, lol.
I also took advantage and bought crochet thread for MIL- she LOVES to crochet. She's 82 and this keeps her entertained. Anything to keep her entertained and happy, lol. I finally bought an easle to use when I take pics of my creations.  Got some of that $1.00 glitter glue for Christmas Cards and picked up some odd and ends for the projects I'm working on.  I wanted another Tim Holtz border die, but they were all out. 

I get an email from Michaels, Hobby Lobby and AC Moore. Yeah I know there are no ACM in the south west but I like to drool. They have the best sales and boy do I miss them!

This week Michaels has the usual 40% coupon, Hobby Lobby has a 25% coupon. Hmm, what's up with that?
The only thing I saw that was good at HL was their single sheet papers including cardstock is 50% off. I'm running low on Orange (you think?) so I'll go get some cardstock. 

I'm going back to my projects. I wanted a break from paper piecing pumpkins (say that 10 times) and now it's time to go back to them. I'll try to blog again soon!
