First, the confession: I fell off of the No Spend Challenge! I saw some really great deals, and I just couldn't help myself! First, it started with me running across this Double-Sided (!) patterned paper pad at Wal-Mart for $2.50:
It is a good cardstock weight, and for that price, I just couldn't pass it up-especially when I flipped through and saw even more cute prints inside, that weren't even featured on the front!
Then, I was out with my hubby at Tuesday Mornings on Saturday, and saw this Tim Holtz stamp set for $6.99:
So pretty! I love the butterflies especially, and there was only one, so into the buggy it went...
By this point, I figured I was already off the challenge for the weekend, so I made a few more stops and got all of this (for AMAZING prices)...
I got the paper pads at TJ Maxx for $5.99 each for the Studio Calico Snippets and Amy Tangerine Yes, Please 12x12, and $2.99 for the 6x6 Studio Calico Darling Dear...They also had Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm and Studio Calico Sundrifter, but I skipped those two because I had already purchased a lot of the collections when they first came out at Winter CHA. The Thickers were $1.49 each(!) at Marshalls, and I got the roller stamp for $2.99, the pen for $1.49, the Amy Tangerine stickers for $1.99, the On Trend buttons for $1.99, journal cards from Studio Calico (I think they are from the Atlantic collection!) for $1.99, Mistable feathers from Studio Calico for $1.99, and washi tape 2 pack from the Dollar Tree for $1! My little scrappy heart was so excited to find all of those bargains...even if I did feel just a little bit guilty...
To assuage my guilt, I have decided to have a giveaway!
To be entered to win, just be a follower of my blog, and leave me a comment! Can you resist a great deal? Have you seen any really great deals lately?
I will leave the giveaway open until August 30th!
