As the holiday season comes to an end it is the perfect time to take advantage of the sales on everything from the gifts to the materials to make the gifts. I did a little bit of shopping yesterday and I was able to stock up on a few small gifts to keep on hand for those last minute needs. Not to mention a few good picks for teacher gifts for next year.
It is my plan this year to start early and hand make many gifts for next year. I have found so many wonderful ideas for hand crafted gifts (thank you Pinterest). I thought I would get them done this year, but let's face it, I am not super woman even though sometimes I think I am. It just seems that the time slips away so quickly. Of course we have been on the go literally since at least August. This is my year to slow down.... Lol! We shall see how that turns out.
For those of you who enjoy crafting be sure to take advantage of those online coupons. You can find apps for your smartphone as well. Many places will take competitors coupons. In fact JoAnns will let you use more than one coupon at a time. So if you have a JoAnns coupon and a Michaels coupon you can use them both, just not on the same item. Here in Alaska there is o Hobby Lobby (complete sin if you ask me) but JoAnns will honor a Hobby Lobby coupon! I never would have guessed had I not been talking to one of the employees there. So you combine that little tid bit with the after Christmas sales and you can make some serious scores!
Happy crafting!
