GRAND OPENING HAUL= HL

When I stopped in Winchester on the way to Florida, my daughter and I went shopping on Monday. We stumbled on the grand opening of the new Hobby Lobby there. Everything in the store was at least 50% off. Got these rubber stamps. I only buy stamps when I can get them at least 40 - 50% off. Or when out thrifting and yard sales.More stamps. Got this bead crimper also, I have been looking for one. At Pat Catan's they were $9.99, at Micheal's they were $14.99 and here at HL they were $11.99= 50% off they were only $6.50! Glad I waited.A bunch of bling also. Some off this I got in the 1$ bin at Michael's.
I also got a bunch of those popular scrapbook paper, K& Co, Graphic 45 etc etc. This is really the first time I bought those paper in tablet form. On my budget I could not justify getting them. Now if I were doing shows and making money I would. Don't forget to go over to Tee's and join the stick pin swap and other swaps she has going on. http://creationsbytee.blogspot.com/ I am still not caught up on all the things I want to post about. LOL maybe it will never happen! I did get all my stick pins done for the swap. Had to make 10 but they are easy, the most time consuming part was the cards to put them on and packaging. Well that's it for now thanks for looking and come back soon.

YARD SALE ART FINDS

PAINT: Look at this great deal I got today. Went yard saling with Maggie, and found some wonderful finds. I was telling my friend the other day my old paint is running low and I was soon going to have to buy some new. Well here is what I got for less than 20 cents a tube. It is Liquitex Basics that run $5.00 a tube at Micheal's. All are at least 3/4 full and a couple new unused. Got them and a few other markers and a tool box tote. Doing the "happy yard sale dance"

And yet more goodies! These acrylic block are expensive and I refuse to buy them. And I found a two sets of them at a yard sale at 50 cents each set. I could not believe my ears when he said 50 cents! And beside them was a package "jelly" acrylic stamps. Also 50 cents. More happy dancing!

And I got some findings for my altered art. Got all this sea glass for 25 cents. It is very hard to find sea glass at the beach in this area. A lot of green and clear in this bunch. It will be great to use in my art projects. In the mean time it will be pretty to look at in a clear glass container.

There was one piece of blue in the bunch.






And one what use to be a cats eye marble. Now its all frosted like the rest of the sea glass. If you look close you can see the yellow streak of the cats eye

I am packing up and getting read to leave. So I am not working on much right now. I did work in a book on Thur. with Pearl. It was our last art day until I come back. I do have some things to share with you so I will keep posting and when I get settled in PA I plan on just not working all the time. I think my DIL is interested in doing some altered art so I hope to be doing some with her and showing her a few things about it.

All for now thanks for stopping by and come back soon

Blessings
