This blog isn't just for fun. I'm being graded on it for a writing class, and I have to have 4 entries posted by tonight. As I was thinking to myself what else I could write about, I received an email that answered my prayers. It was a 25% off coupon for Michaels!
I knew a trip to the craft store was in the cards for me anyway, but this just encouraged me further. I figured I would go there, take a look around, and hope for inspiration to strike!

Just walking in the doors reminded me of the excitement I felt every time I went in during high school. I would stalk the weekend newspaper ads, waiting to see if the supplies I needed would be on sale. As a teenager I worked in an office and at a grocery store. My meager paycheck was enough to go out with friends from time to time. I had to keep myself to a strict budget for craft supplies, and it is something I still have to do. I have found that these restrictions force me to be creative, and I am always looking to improve my creative skills.
I was not disappointed by my trip. I found some inexpensive foam paintbrushes, which will come in handy for many projects, but the big deal I scored was on fabric paint. For some reason, 5-packs of small bottles of tulip soft fabric paint were on clearance for $3 when they are usually sold for $10 each! I now have a rainbow of regular, neon, and glitter colors for whatever projects I set my heart on.
