Find Me a Sale............

I don't know about you - but boy oh boy I LOVE finding a bargain or a 75% off sale!!  Craft supplies can be a bit pricey sometimes - especially stamps & embellishments.  Lately I have found myself really holding back until it goes on sale.  Fortunately I have lucked onto to some great last minute buys on eBay.  I will post my latest find at the end of the blog today.  If you are patient & diligent you can pick up some great stamps off of eBay - just remember to figure in the shipping.  If I find a stamp I absolutely love & have to have - I will always look at the seller's other items to see if there are other stamps I like - that way I can combine shipping/handling which in the long run does save some money.

Another great place to shop is Tuesday Mornings.  If you have one close to you - check it out!!!  I almost always come out with some embellishements that they have grouped together for a fairly low price.  Sometimes I have found some good paper in there as well.

I am looking forward to some warmer weather and then I will hit the yard sales and church bazaars.  These are some fantastic treasure finding places.  Remember the old saying - one person's junk is another man's treasure!!!!

What are some of your favorite places to find bargains??  Here was my latest eBay find that I picked up in the last 45 secs of a sale & I was able to get all three for $4.50!!!  The D. Morgan stamp alone is worth much more & I got a House Mouse stamp too!!!


Until our next "stitch" in time & we "scrap" our ideas together ~ Mary
