Score!!!...Joann's die cut sale.

Joann's is having a 3 day sale April 3-5 all die-cutting accessories are 40% off and if you subscribe to emailer then you got a 20% off coupon good on all regular & sale items so 60% off total on dies. I went with a plan to only spend $25 on Sizzix dies (to use in my B-Day Kick) and with my coupons I could clean up.

Well my plan was shot to all heavens. I started in the Sizzix area and I found an Original die "flowers and vines" and a Sizzlits "buttons" not bad for 10 bucks. I also picked up Texturz plates # 2 & 3 for $3 bucks ea. I was happy until, I wandered into the Cuttlebug section. Oh No, budget shot to the heavens. I ended up getting 4 folders I had been eyeing , all thanks to Frndly1, who had me experiment with them prior to my BigKick, and 3 more just because. 2.49 each. Yowzer!! I can't wait to crank out some cards and pages with my new toys. Now where do I store them all. Hmm?

My Mama rode with me and after begging her to get out of the car to go in the "Boring" store with me she disappeared on me. A few minutes of searching and I found her in the beading section. Guess who was glued to the beads, yeah her. She ended up trying to sign up for a beading 101 class and buying some Noir pendant beads, findings and a Getting started book. Uh, Huh, now what will she call craft stores, definitely not boring. I took some time to talk to some of the beaders in the aisle and share my love of scrapbooking and in true Fiska-style. I also learned something new.
