    I stocked up on plastic crayon boxes ($1.00). I am making English Paper Piecing kits for door prizes at our annual lock-in. I also found plastic boxes for my pencils in my to-go bag. I purchase page protectors at Sam's (200 for $9.97) so much cheaper than WalMart.

    I was looking around yesterday too! I bought those page savers tabs (that work like post it's), a spiral bound two year daily planner calendar, mechanical pencils, clear ruler, a sturdy metal supplies holder that had a key and two small notebooks that have a rubber that keeps them closed for notes by the machine on settings and measurements.

    I also thought about buying some of the plastic desk organizing containers. One in particular was a small tower of swing out little drawers. I just couldn't use it for anything, but it was so dang nice!

    I bought some Elmers & some glue sticks. I love school supply shopping too. I never out grew it even though my youngest is 40 now! lol Good buys on things you use almost daily. Those little pencil boxes are really handy too. I have one for each machine so tools & things are always handy. I also have one for my favorite marking tools. No searching so I love anything to save time
