My sister-in-law, Valli, and I went to ACmoore last weekend for some fun shopping around. I didn't plan on buying much, but their Sandylion embellishments were on sale for $1 so I had to check them out. As I browsed the aisle I was very disappointed in their sale selections. I found 1 embellishment and hated to wait in line for that. Then it happened! I turned the corner and entered the final scrapbooking aisle. There... at the end of the aisle... I spotted it.
The Cuttlebug.
Now, I have been wanting a Cuttlebug for a VERY long time. It's been killing me not to buy it, but I told myself I couldn't buy anymore scrapbooking things (big things...) until I sold something. I also found that it's price had been raised from $89.99 to $98.99 at ACMoore and I couldn't stomach that. I could use a 50% off coupon, but that's still around $50. It must have been my lucky day because the price had DROPPED to $79.99. I had a 50% off coupon and snatched it up for $40.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was thrilled. I couldn't even find it online (ebay, amazon, etc) for until $60. I couldn't stop smiling! So, that's it my readers. I am now the proud owner of a Cuttlebug.
Yes, I took a picture of my first embossing :)I will also go on to show you the projects I have been working on this week. Here is one I made for the "Secret Ghost" at school. You, "Boo" a person and leave them a gift and it goes throughout the school. I made this and then checked my sister-in-laws Etsy account and saw something VERY similar. Now I feel like a goof because it looks like I copied! I swear I had it started before I saw hers!!! (I promise Amy!!!)
The cards were put inside the box for an adorable little gift. I also put some candy in a cute Halloween baggie. I think they'll like it!
I also made another package of Halloween cards for my Etsy shop. I like these ones better than my last. I guess practice does make perfect (or just better in my case!)
And lastly, my first gift from a student this year:
Dan comes home in 8 days :)

Yeah, fun! Good deal! Very cute! Okay, I don't know why I'm talking in short sentences, I guess it's that I'm just so excited for you! :)
So cute!
Don;t you just love it when you can get a great price on something you've been dying to have!
Okay, so I quote your previous post regarding cuttlebug, "It's not that exciting". What the ????
This IS exciting. Something worth writing home about.
I LOVE my cuttlebug. The embossing designs are so adorable for card making!
Being a queen of never paying full price for anything and always a bargain hunter, I of course am almost as thrilled as you are for getting an awesome deal!
Adorable projects. Glad you've been busy with your paper. Have I mentioned lately how much I love paper?
Are you going to put your newest set of Halloween cards on etsy?
Here's to a super speedy 8 days!
you're so crafty and girly that it sometimes makes my eyes boil out of my head.
but in a totally good way.
