Fear of Returning Merchandise?

There should seriously be a word called returnaphobia. I just went throgh my credit card statement and added up everything that I need to return in order to see what I REALLY owe... I have about $220 tied up in merchandise that needs to be returned (Michael's, Dillard's, Wal-Mart...) and I'm too petrified to do it. So I googled it...

Turns out I just have a social disorder. Go figure.

Thanks Google!

Yeah, this is about the way I feel when I have to do it.

Papier-Mâché Floral Brooches

Okay, okay so I've decided to quit hoarding all of my craft How-To's and share the wealth since I can't ever seem to get to them. I don't understand how I will walk into a craft store with a list that I've carefully developed to get in and out, and yet I come out with everything but what was on the list.

These Papier-Mâché Floral Brooches (and yes I'm copying and pasting those fancy letters) are too cute and HOT HOT in the trendy fashion world! The picture shows that you can wear them on a jacket, but here is my take on it.... hair pins.

This awesome tutorial is a step-by-step on how to make 'em and it is so easy!

My Little Cutie Pie

Oh my goodess it has been forever since I've updated and I apologize to my lonely 2 followers. Between having surgery and getting my tutus made I lost track of my blog!

good baking pan deal!

If you go to http://www.michaels.com/ and sign up for their newsletter you will be sent a 50% coupon! So I printed a few.... more like 10... and have bought a few things here and there, but last night I bought what turns out to be a fantastic deal!

Wilton Performance Pan Set

So a $50 set cost me around $25 and they are NIIIIICEEEE. Also while I was there I stared at cake boards for what seemed like eternity and finally settled with 2 sheets of foam board and will just cut them out and decorate myself.

ALSO! If you're interest peaks about cake decorating, Michael's is offering 50% off of their Wilton Cake Class that starts at the beginning of September. I think it costs around $25 after the discount. I talked with the sweet check out girl and she had taken the class and had a lot of fun, but she did end up spending $75 extra in supplies.
