I hit Michael's last night, trying to find some of those Glue Lines (apparently they don't carry them). But I walked out with $50 worth of stuff, haha. How'd that happen?

I got:
- the Fiskars fingertip exacto knife thingie - I have an exacto, but wanted to see if this gives me more control
- a rubber brayer - been looking for one for a while and finally spotted it...will be handy for making pages stick with mod podge without bubbles
- some little stamps (they were $1.50) for the months of the year - this is for a specific project, lol
- a Zig 2-way glue chisel tip pen - just needed a refill

I haven't told DH how much I spent yet...lol. He might flip.
 
I've been curious how the finger tip exacto knife thingie works....

We finally have a Michaels near me and boy, it is dangerous for me to even ENTER that store!!! I never tell hubby how much I spend there LOL.... I plan to go there today though, I need a scallop punch for something I'm working on for Sara Amarie's blog.
 
I did a Michaels run today, too, but walked away with a lot less stuff (since I spent so much here earlier today). They had some cool stickers and I got some card bases. I had the 50% off one item coupon burning a hole expiring today. They gave me a coupon for 20% off my total order for next week when I checked out.
I love my brayer - I've had it for years - there's so many cool things you can do with it besides the obvious....
 
i have one of those Fiskars finger exacto knife thingies, lol. It's okay. comfy but i didn't notice really having any more control than i usally do. But me and sharp objects don't usually work well together, lol.
 
i have the fingertip knife and I'm glad I wear glasses. I probably would have poked my eye out about now. i sorta forget i have it on my finger, duh. but I do like how it works.

dang, I used to have a brayer from my polymer clay days. I gave it away. see, this is why i shouldn't de-clutter.
 
love me some jump rings

oh how i LOVE jump rings (i actually used them on my off the page altered letter challenge from krystal hartley here)..they are SOO super cute on your projects..although i have a terrible time with them poking through my pages sometimes..lol...probably should put a little glue dot on the end kinda like a wax..hmm... I totally love michael's too...i usually polish off a $100 bill in that place by the time i get to the second aisle..NOT GOOD...tack on various magazines THAT I DON'T NEED...and then oh yes, the $1 stamps...oh goodness..let's just say it is NEVER pretty! We always leave to the chorus of my kids saying "mommy, i thought you only were going to pick up some ribbon" always go with good intentions.. :)

That sounds like something I'd do. I'm hoping to test it out today, if I can get PS running enough to print some stuff out...
 
I've pretty much stopped going to craft stores unless I NEED something. For a while I had gotten into the habit of going once a week "cuz i have a coupon that expires". BAD IDEA.

Now I only go when I need something (like glue/adhesive, or a specific item). I still end up wandering around and getting more things I didn't intend to buy, but it's easier to deal with if it's 1 time every 6 weeks or so, as opposed to every single week, lol.
