so i went to wallyworld last night to get a lego set for ds from santa. i went to pick it up, so i would be sure to have it. and i just had to go into joann's......
they had a great clearance section!!!!
i got lots of deals. they had the mickey cart for $14.00! i already have it and it killed me to walk away w/out it, but i did!
but i did get lots of sizzix dies for $3.00! yup! and i bought all kids of embellishments for .50! and those of you that have girls scouts they had really nice 12x12 albums for $4.00! i did get a cuttlebug alpha for 9.00.

just thought i'd pass it along.......;)

[PrincessNancy96]

Wow! Nice work Holly!!!

Ours has nothing... we are in the desert here for sales on scrap materials.. actually our walmart is done to one side of one aisle for scrapbooking materials. :(

[morgansmom2000]

Looks like I'm going to Joanns today!

[party of 3]

i wanted to just roll the clearance section over to the cashier and take it all!:scared1:
that my mom in me. last year walmart had martha stewart xmas paper on clearance for next to nothing and she bought it all. she loved her bargains!!!!!:angel:
she was definitely a bargain hunter.

[aroyer]

Girl Scout album for $4??!!!! Wow! Too bad I already bought a brown faux leather album for DD's Brownie/Girl Scout years.

Got some Sizzix, did ya? Where's your sponsor??;)

And I gotta ask, what Lego set does Bubba need?? DS is all about Star Wars right now.

[party of 3]

it was a nice album too Ash.
and i did not call my sponsor about the Sizzix, 'cause i HAD to have them!:rotfl:and they were just about giving them away!!!! so how could i not get them, right??:confused3

LEGOS! holy cow. Ash he is obsessed with them. Do you get the lego catalog? we i ordered it for him and so did my mom. so we always get two. and he loves that day. we have to sit right down at the table and go over it and oooohhhh and aaaahhhh over all the sets!!!he's a maniac! well the have the millennium falcon (maybe?:scared1:) and it's $500.00. it's usually on the last page. well, he has been trying to convince everyone he knows that he needs it......they now have a midi version! i went and got it the other night at walmart so i'll be sure it will be under the tree! not chancing it! he is going to the brickmaster club at toys r us once a month on Saturdays. He counts the days in between meetings!!!!

sorry got rambling about legos!!:lmao:

[aroyer]

Ok, well if you HAD to have them and they were giving them away, I guess your sponsor is off the hook. :lmao:

Don't apologize for rambling to me about Legos! My little man (at age 4, mind you) is crazy about them. They can occupy him for hours-seriously! And not just the actual Legos, the other day it was really quiet so I went to check on him and he was just sitting there looking at the instruction manuals! We don't get the catalog, but I'm thinking after the instruction manuals we need to get the catalog. And there may be a millinium falcon on my little man's list too.

[AlexWyattMommy]

:wave: The sponsor is going shopping tomorrow. :thumbsup2

:scared1::scared1::scared1: Going to look at it right now....

[party of 3]

ok i went and ordered it! i'm just not chancing anything this year. i don't want to stress out over it.

and i just had to order city corner so i could get free shipping!:rolleyes1

i had it shipped here at work so i can hide it!

[aroyer]

:lmao: You gotta do, what you gotta do! I think we are going to get the advent calendar for DS- I showed DH and he's just as excited. Now I just have to figure out what is equal for a 9.5 year old tween girl that's into electronics and Harry Potter. :scared:

[morgansmom2000]

Does she like Littlest Pet Shop? Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Littlest-Pet-Shop-Calendar-Surprises/dp/B000XBRNRY)

[aroyer]

She used to love Littlest Pet Shop, now it just sits in her closet. Along with her Hannah and HSM dolls and her American Girl dolls. *sigh* I need to get her to start working on a Christmas list, then maybe I'll have some ideas. :confused3

[labdogs42]

My 4.5 year old is super into Legos, too. I think we bought him almost all of the Power Miners sets when we were at DTD in August! :eek: Now, he wants the City sets and some Star Wars! Yikes! I'll have to get him the advent calendar for sure. Where do I get those? Lego.com?

[StitchIsOurHero]

Where did you order the advent calendar from?? I know that DH would LOVE it!! He'd claim it was for DS, but he'd LOVE it!!!

[aroyer]

Yep, the advent calendar is on lego.com. Look under the top sellers, it's too cute! SIOH- my DH says the same thing. :rolleyes:

[PinballFamily]

Forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know, but there's a *free* Lego magazine. (Different from the Brickmaster one and the catalog(s)...)

Here's the link to sign up:

http://club1.lego.com/en-US/legomagazine/default.aspx

There's also a slightly different one (but also free) for kids under 6 years old - but both are great. (See the bottom of the magazine page link.)

I think it comes every other month - my kids grab it out of the mailbox so fast, my head spins! They love it and save and pore over all the back issues, too.

This free mag(s) offer is good for other countries, too, not just the US.

Hope this helps someone!

[aroyer]

Thanks PinballFamily! I totally signed up for that too!

PrincessM is the same. Funnily enough, she went through some of her toys last weekend, getting rid of Polly Pocket and some Barbies, but when she saw the LPS stuff in with the PP stuff, she dug it out. Don't know exactly what that means, but...

Did I mention that she wants to redecorate her room? She wants to paint it dark purple and decorate with skulls...Seriously? I'm not ready for this. :headache:

[AlexWyattMommy]

:rotfl2: I's sorry Jennifer. I know it isn't funny to you. But skulls?? :rotfl2:
What the heck is that girl thinking??



If you get the free Lego magazine has almost the same stuff inside as the Brickmaster. Except the Brickmaster comes with the poster, a different challenge and extra build instructions. My boys were more slightly disappointed when the first Brickmaster arrived. They were hoping for more. The devour the Lego magazines when they arrive. We got the newest catalog too. Lots of circled things. :lmao:

[morgansmom2000]

:rotfl2: I's sorry Jennifer. I know it isn't funny to you. But skulls?? :rotfl2:

I have no freakin' clue! Skulls? Skulls? Of all things, skulls!

I told her that we were having a lean Christmas because we want to go on the cruise next October. So, she could either do it for Christmas or her birthday next July. I was hoping she would say next July, and would have changed her mind by then. Skulls!

I tried to get her to let me take LPS to Goodwill when we moved, but she wasn't ready to let it go. Seriously, it is now just taking up space.

Fortunately DD doesn't get the skull popularity at the moment. She would totally love the dark purple though! I can feel the room update coming- she has the same quilt she had when she was 2.

[party of 3]

so i told dh that i ordered the calendar and he was so excited! because we were searching at the last second last year. it really was a HUGE hit!
and he does get those magazines too PBF. he loves them. he loves anything lego. He loves to do the brickmaster meetings at toys r us.
my co-worker gets barbie advent calendars at target for her grandaughters. she said they love them.
