Michaels Haul + Plan with me!

I went to Michaels this past weekend and found some pretty decent deals. Ever since I started couponing, I haven't really been able to stop myself. So, I decided to take a minor break and check out Michaels and found some stuff that I really liked.

This past weekend that I went they had 20% off entire purchase. I went mainly for the paper pads because we all know how much I love those. And I went to get me some more washi/crafting tape. I feel like all my current washi tapes were fairly similar in color so I decided it was time for a change.

 I picked up four of the Hot Buy paper pads. All $5.99 each! This deal is basically always going. So go and check out your Michaels to see what they have.

Here are a few of my favorite pages! Not all but some.

While I was there I stumbled onto a pretty good deal on washi tapes. They were buy two get one free plus there was 20% off of that. So yes, I scored. However, I regret not getting more. Maybe next time.

I also took this chance to plan. Not much thought went into it. I just played with it for a little bit. And voila. Here is this weeks planner.

That is it. Thanks for showing your support and reading my post. Even though it was mainly pictures!

Mini Target/Michaels Haul

This past Friday I went and ended up picking up a few things. I intended to go to Target and pick up the super adorable candy dishes that I was seeing all over youtube. And yes, youtube made me buy it. On a serious note I found them all. If I'm correct there was 5 but I only picked up 4. They were $3 each if you were wondering.

 Cat candy dish

 Ghost candy dish

Cauldron candy dish

The last one that I found but didn't purchase was the mummy candy dish which looked similar to the cauldron dish. The cauldron to me is the only one I can see myself using year round. I ended up passing on the mummy because I felt like eventually (after Halloween) I'm going to be putting away the other three. In my head it made sense not to get them all.

After Target I made a quick voyage to Michaels (three stores down). I saw a few youtubers picking Autumn/Spring and gold/silver foil type paper pads so I wanted to check them out. Sadly I couldn't find the gold/silver paper pads that I saw on youtube. There were gold/silver paper pads but not the ones I saw or anything that caught my eyes. So I kind of passed on those. The ones I did get were more Spring colors but with Autumn patterns.

I bought 4 paper pads for $5.99 each. I also took advantage of Michael's 25% off of your entire purchase. So I basically ended up getting all 4 of the paper pads for less than the full price of 1 of them. Can you say STEAL!

 Craft Smith Southern Charm

Craft Smith Honeydew

This paper pad had a few gold foiled pages but I didn't take any photos. Sorry. It kept flashing back and I couldn't get a good photo of the foiled. Please forgive me.

Recollections Fall at the Park

 I mainly bought this for the fox page but I didn't notice until I got home to further inspect it that there was only 1 page. This paper pad book is kind of weird in the sense that there were multiples of 1 page and others there were only 1 or 2. I'm not so sure since I think this is my first Recollections paper pad.

Craft Smith Fall Embossed

The embossing on the pages is the main reason I bought this paper pad. I intend to turn some of these pages into my planner cover. Whenever I get the free time to.

That is all I picked up. Hope to see you in my next post.

Michaels Haul

I went to Michaels last week! Yay me!

I was watching a few youtube videos and noticed that people were getting some nice deals so I took it upon myself to go check them out. I think I missed a big sale but I don't really shop at Michaels so it doesn't really bother me. And I'm actually waiting for the tax holiday weekend in about a week so I can get the planner stuff I wanted. Which is actually another reason why I went. I wanted to see what my Michaels had in stock. But that's for another day...hopefully soon.

I purchased 4 scrapbook type paper pads from Michaels and I'm pretty happy with them. I also got a pretty decent deal on all them too so I'm pretty proud of myself. They're all normally priced at $19.99 but I got them for either $5.00 or $5.99 a piece. Not entirely sure since I've already lost my receipt.

Paper Pads Haul!

 

Recollections: Playing with food

A few of my favorite pages

Pink Paislee: Memorandum

 Craft Smith: Melon Patch

 Crate Paper: Hello Love

 

 I know people tend to use these for scrap-booking but I think I'm going to be using them for my planner. I see all these etsy sticker hauls and I seriously think is overrated. I'd rather just cut up some paper to fit, add a little adhesive dot roller and I'm done. Cheaper and I get exactly what I want.

TEASER ALERT: My next post might just be a food post.
