A trip to Michaels, and a note about Pinterest...

Good morning! Yesterday I mentioned that I went to Michael's on Sunday, so I wanted to post a few pictures of what I bought, mainly stuff that I can use in my dad's legacy book, but also a few extras. Here you go...

Some Valentine's Day decor items at 40% off.

I can also use them throughout the year in my studio,

which is decorated in whites, taupe, and pale

pink. I loved the little "Love" book that has

blank kraft pages in it...



I had a 20%-off coupon to apply to all items

not on sale, so these are some things I bought for the book,

other than the wire-wrapping booklet which is for my

future endeavor in trying my hand at making some jewelry...

A Recollections paper pad, at 40% off. I must say that

this company produces my favorite papers. (You will

see where I used some papers from their "Portobello Road"

collection in my dad's book). This one

is called "Love Letters", and I have provided you some

pictures of the papers in the pad. Many are glittery, all

are printed on kraft-type paper, and there were also a

couple of pages of lovely tags...

Aren't they beautiful?

And a note about Pinterest. I must admit that I have a serious addiction problem to this wonderful means of sharing ideas with like-minded friends. Not to mention that my pinning at night comes in handy when I'm trying to stay awake watching TV. Though I'm fairly new to the game, I have accumulated some followers that make me proud that I have pinned anything worth their time, and I likewise follow those with whom I share much.

Just as a reminder, you can link to my boards via my sidebar. I have recently added a board called "Tempting Art Tutorials" to which I have added some YouTube tutorials that I think are worthy of your time. I keep them on one of my private ("secret") boards until I have time to watch them. If I don't think they are that great, they don't make it to the new board. If they are good, I add my own comments and move them to my Tutorials board. Take a look...I think you'll find it worth the time! I still have many that I need to view, so stay tuned.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for visiting me!
