Post Your Shopping Successes!

DH, DS, & I went to Michael's tonight. We got there at the perfect time--I just had to wait in line about 5 minutes or so, and they opened the doors (they actually opened about 10 min before 5).

I was able to get Paisley and My Community! They had plenty of those, as well as Designer's Calendar and Old West. No Dino Tracks, though, and no Elmo's Party. I also got 3 Iris boxes!

The one thing that surprised me was that, of the licensed carts, they only had Pooh and Friends out. They had a Sesame Street, Tink, and Cars in the cage, but they had it blocked by other stuff, so unless you went over there (and far away from the "sale" section), you didn't see them.

I did feel like I had accomplished something when I was able to walk out with what I wanted, though!!

Good luck to everyone on the shopping missions!!

Here in Ontario, its not on sale but I found Fiskar's stamp machine $9.99. On line at any place else its over $39.00. Also they had Fiskars clear stamps, a large sheet for $1.88. I love Liquidation World.
I am hitting Michaels tomorrow night and hope to get Sweet Treat cartrige and a couple Iris containers for $6.99.

We got to Michael's just before they opened and it seemed like everyone in line was there for either Cricut cartridges or Jetmax cubes. I bought Animal Kingdom, A Child's Life, and Paisley for my daughter for Christmas, and Alphalicious and Winter Woodland for myself. My daughter bought Wild West for me for Christmas. She also bought two Jet Max cubes for her scrapbook room. Earlier today I was able to win Tags, Bags, and Boxes on Ebay for $20.50...it's a gift for a friend of mine. It was really great how nice all of the shoppers were at Michael's. Anytime anyone mentioned a certain cartridge, someone else found and it and handed it to them. It was great!

I found a picture frame at M's tonight for DD's WDW sillouette picture. DD's pic looks terrific in it.

If you never had your kids sillouette done at Fronterland at MK, I highly recommend it. What a great souvenier!

Got 3 carts, put 2 back. DH said they were my birthday gifts so I may get him to get the other 2 tomorrow.

the Michael's lady that came out to give us the pep talk asked if anyone was there for the gypsy and we all said no. She was shocked, happy, but shocked. We were all on our best behavior!!! And some lady is going to have one awesome Xmas, her DH was there buying a cricut and at least 4 or 5 carts at last glance.

I got Sweet Treats and Paisley for my ILs to give me for Christmas and a bunch of Iris boxes. Princess came with me and we found some adorable American Girl items. Of course, I found paper, I always find paper. There was some nice ribbon for 60 cents too! It was a reallllly nice store. I'll definitely go back

I also picked up a Designer's Calendar for Holly, since I was there and they had it. I'll bring it back if she finds it elsewhere this weekend. I didn't really even look at any of the other carts, I knew what I wanted so I looked for those. I think I saw Pagoda and Old West.

I went to Michael's with mom- she got 4 jetmax cubes and the shelves to go with them, I got one cube, she also got an iris box and I got the From my Kitchen cart. I will see about other carts before getting any more at Michaels. I also picked up 2 awesome art kits for a child from the angel tree at church(he wanted drawing kits).

We have our line up for tomorrow mapped up.

No problem, Holly. Morgan is all over getting there again, she loves loves loves B&N and Panera.

I'm sad that we didn't get to see you, but loved texting you as you were driving by! I was going to try to find your house and drop some stuff off, but my co-pilot was getting whiny and hungry. Just means I have to see you this week!

Good luck today, DH just went to Target for a video game for himself, when he gets back, I'll go to ACM and get my credit. I *may* check out how bad WM is. I bet it's a zoo

I went last night and got 3 of the 4 I wanted to get, Celebrations and A walk In My Garden, both for MIL for Christmas/birthday and Paperdoll Dressup for me, which I will give to DH to put in my stocking!
Hey DIT! I finally got it!!
I also got several albums and a couple of Iris boxex and a few little things I just couldnt live without!
My Jo's is having their cart sale on Saturday so I will go and see if they have 50 States which is the other one that I want.
Have a great day shopping!

I went to M's last night. We were having dinner with friends, so I knew we wouldn't be there at opening. That was okay with me, because I decided to wait for the other store's sales. If they had Old West, I would get it, if not, no biggie. I did get the Jetmax cubes I wanted, and the store in our friend's smaller town had a better selection. But all the new carts were long gone.

This morning, it timed out for me to be at my M's at opening. I was going for poster frames, didn't have room in my cart last night with the cubes. But they had bins with the cartridges in the framing section. They had TONS of the new styles. More than people that were waiting. I guess they held some back for this morning. I don't know what they had last night, but really, there were 8-10 each style, still left after the crowd cleared. So I got Old West after all! I seriously considered getting Paisley, but I spent a fortune on stuff for the house. In fact, I am thinking about skipping J's tomorrow. I was going to get Storybook, but if I survived this long without it, I could survive another few months.

TB and I are back from Absolutely Everything! We did great (I even won one of the two door prizes while we were in line!) and were out of there in exactly one hour this morning.

We both got great stuff - 15/$1 paper - Mind's Eye, Little Yellow Bicycle, CosmoCricket, etc.)!!!, Prima stuff, Queen and Co, DaisyDs, great page/card kits packed with embellishments, Thickers, and so on. I also got two Cricut carts for $5 each: Jasmine and 50 States. Wasn't really looking for them - since I've never seen Cricut stuff there before, but at that price wasn't leaving them there! TB got oodles of clear stamp sets, Gelatins/Maya Road, bling embellishments, and more...

It is pouring here - so snug and safe at home now - let the scrapping begin!

Good luck to everyone out there (and on their computers) snagging great deals!
