HOT FIND: The Queen's Dresser Drawers

My friend Lauri (yes, Rubber Chicken Lauri) forwarded a link to a fantastic stamp company I had never seen.  Check out the images at The Queen's Dresser Drawers.  It looks like a combination of River City Rubber Works, Stampington & Co, Stampers Anonymous and Tim Holtz.  I love it!

This Week at AC Moore (May 24 - 30)

Very slim pickings in the AC Moore ad for this week.  Here are the highlights:

• Glue Dots Value Pack (a 4-pack including 3 different glue dot size packs & 1 glue line pack) is only $9.99 (down from $14.99)
• All Memory Paper is 40% off (note that the Bazzill Fours are included in this sale)
• 40% off coupon

I stopped in at the AC Moore in Ashburn on Wednesday and was thrilled to find a handful of colors from the Bazzill Fours line in the clearance section for $2.20 per pack of 25 12" x 12" sheets.  I bought the pinks & aquas.  Be sure to grab some while they last!

This Week At Michaels (May 21 - 27)

I was thrilled to find my 40% off Michaels coupon in this Sunday's paper.  However, the paper arts "deals" were pretty sparse.  Here are the highlights:

• Sculpey III, FImo & Premo modeling clay is only $0.99 per 2 oz. pack.  This is a great deal for some of the higher end clays.  For those of you who dabbled in polymer clay in my Geisha Hidden Treasures Class, we used Sculpey III in Translucent.
• Rubber Stamps are 25% off
• 12" x 12" Scrapbook Papers are 4/$1.00 (note:  this only applies to the $0.49 to $0.59 regularly priced papers - NOT the cool Basic Grey papers they started carrying)
• Swarovski Crystals are $2.99/pack (regularly priced at $3.99/pack).  These are fantastic for the Holly Berry and Outlines rubber stamped images.

Happy Shopping!  Remember to stick to the sale items only and shop at your local paper arts store for everything else. 

CLASS DATE CHANGE: Screen Goddess I and II

Due to the number of e-mails I've received from students upset that I scheduled my Screen Goddess classes during the Ocean City Stamp Show, I have re-scheduled Screen Goddess I and Screen Goddess II at Rubber Chicken from this Saturday May 20th to Saturday June 17th.  The website should reflect the changes later today.  Hope to see you there!!

Jo-Ann's Organized Essentials

Suni, Lauri & I found this beauty at the Jo-Ann's Etc. in Frederick, MD a couple of weeks ago.  If you're looking for a great way to get organized for classes and/or crops, you might want to pick up one of these binders. 

I bought mine to take to monthly crops.  I have so many embellishments and no way to transport what I plan to use.  This zippered binder has two separate compartments.  One side has a large pocket about 2.75" deep.  I plan to use this for stamps & ink pads.  The other side has four large clear zippered pockets and four small zippered pockets.  The pockets are perfect for storing my watchmaker tins filled with eyelets, brads, clips & all of my other goodies.

Once this bad boy is zipped up, it can sit upright on my workspace.  I love it!  Go get yours today, but be sure to use a coupon.

This Week at AC Moore (May 17 - 23)

This week's AC Moore ad didn't have much to offer for paper artists.  There were only three things that caught my eye:

• A 50% off coupon in Wednesday's paper.
• Glue Dots and Mono refills are only $2.99 this week (down from $3.99).  Time to stock up!
• You can sign up for their weekly ads/coupons via e-mail by clicking here.

Happy shopping!
