Random Stuff...

Last night, I went to a home center here in town that is going out of business and I was able to get these Benjamin Moore Paint samples for $.75 ea., they are the same size as acrylic paints {2 oz}.  They are orginially $4.99 ea.!!!  I think I might run out and get some more while they are still there!
I also found these little items.  I am going to use the canisters in my craft room as storage, I might have this on my work table...who knows.  It was orginally $57 and I got it for $13.
The silver business card holder I thought would be a fun picture holder.
This is what I have been working on today...tags for our Relief Society Birthday Meeting.   I still have a hard time not calling it Enrichment.  {it is the women's organization in our church http://www.lds.org/} We are having a "Zion's Mall" with a Shoe Store {don't judge another until you walk in their shoes mini class}, a Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Store {Being with Family}, a Wireless Store {Prayer}.  Plus, we are having a food court and a thrift store {our Provident living tables, people bring items they don't want anymore and it is a free swap.  Then we send the rest to Goodwill}.  These tags will go on the shopping bags that we will have for the ladies. It will have coupons, samples, handouts and etc. in it!  We are also having a kiosk area that will have Emergency Prepardness information.
I will definitely take pictures of what it looks like when it is set up.  I am so excited about it!!
Have a wonderful day!
