Happy Tuesday-
Ahh, are you hot yet? Wow, this heat is amazing...and it's only JUNE! My vacation to the mountains is a few weeks away and I am already thinking about those cool breezes. Of course, I am also thinking about what I'll pack in the way of craft supplies. We have to fit an entire week's worth of clothes, bedding, food and scooters into our mini-van, so I can't take my whole stash. I got some
stackable storage containers to fill with the parts for specific projects and a new tool roll that I can put my favorite tools into. I think I am going to concentrate woven wire, free-form peyote and a little bit of felting. I may also make a few of these
Sandcastle Necklaces for hot-weather wearing...
Beadfreak Deal of the Week-
Cardboard Alphabet letters for just $1
We have closed out our brown craft paper covered Alphabet Letters and are now offering them for just $1 a letter (Regular price, $4-5 per letter.) We also have numbers, punctuation and the @ symbol, too. I already stocked up on several 4's and 8's and my girls will be giving Decopatched and decorated birthday numbers to friends. We have a limited vowel selection, so nonsense spelling and odd Scrabble words are the way to go. Come in and make your selection and just tell us when we ring you up 'Cynthia said I am such a beadfreak I can have these letters for just $1 each.'
