Art on a budget
September 10, 2007 by kellylock
Anyone who does art projects knows it can get rather expensive. I’ve gotten really good at clipping the 40 and 50 percent coupons for Michael’s and Hobby Lobby and only buy those large ticket items when I have the coupons. Of course, the little things add up over time, even so. That being said, I hit the mother load at Hobby Lobby the other day. They put scraps, ends of bolts, etc. in little baggies and sell them cheap, cheap, cheap! I found a bag of trim for five dollars. One of them alone would have been $5. I cannot believe how lucky I got. They are the colors I love, too. Greens, salmons. I’ll have to go back in the next few days and see what else they have. Here are a couple of photos of what was in the bag…yes, it was all stuffed inside, no so elegantly, but goodness, I have so much to use!

Kelly this is beautiful! Especially that green one in the second photo. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. You’re quite a lucky girl, indeed—I almost never find things this good! xoxo
Hey Lady,
I know what you mean about the joy of the coupons. If you will sign up at their web sites, you can receive the coupons on your email and print-did you get a printer? You may already know this…if so-ignore! Hugs
Whatcha doin? Do I want to know? xoxo
PS—I’m due for some Kelly time soon, let’s coordinate a day that isn’t after Christmas, kk? Hint: My birthday is in October…the 3rd…but I’m not telling you when. And I’m not telling you it’s the 40. So you don’t have to make time for me. xoxo
Kel, you’re really not getting this blog thing, are you? It’s okay, I’ll still come over everyday and read art on a budget…for as long as you need me to. xoxo
OK Ms. Kelly, get to blogging. I know you have been busy but you can’t just leave us hangin’-whats going on with you. Lesley
PS-at first it rejected my comment because i had “hugs from TX” but I spelled the T word. It rejected that? HEEHEE
