Well... did I ever get my Christmas early!
Go cutters and dies were 40% off -- so I now have a full size Go cutter, dies of 2 1/2 strips, log cabin, 6 1/2 squares, tumbler and mats for all of them.
Then I had a 50% off for a new 24 x 36 cutting mat
and wonders of wonders... Joann's had a special of by the 18W Ottlight ($109) and get the 24W Ottlight free ($209)...yes, the more expensive one was FREE!!!! We got extra bulbs for both as they were 50% off.
According to the receipt, I SAVED $525 dollars!!!! Yes, my hubby was helping carry stuff and stack it in the cart. He wanted me to get a new iron but I passed on it.
Talk about a surprise stop, this was one for the books.
I was happy with JoAnn's too. I just bought the doorbuster flannel fabric, but it was only $1.74/yard. I like to make pet beds for the local animal shelter, and usually try to find inexpensive material from thrift or yard sales. But this beats that by a long shot.
