Thanks liljagster!!! I'll be sure to check my Michaels to see if they have them. :)

I buy all my grapevine wreaths there when they go on sale. And the small terra cotta pots & saucers, 4" and under, go on sale a couple or so times throughout the year - they used to be 3/$1 but I think the last sale was a little more expensive. Otherwise I buy the big bags of spanish moss, craft paint, glue sticks, oasis, and the bags of rocks. Most stuff is too expensive at regular price and their ready made arrangements are really priced high! Even the perpetual 50% off basket sale is still too much. I watch the flyers on-line and head in to Regina when there's a good sale, then stock up. Like Sierra, I also get ideas from browsing around. Enjoy!

What a deal! I will have my wife look for some around us. She lives at Michaels!!! On a similar note, you can get Lowes 10% off coupons in the USPS movers packets. I think they are only up to purchases of 5k. Home Depot will also honor the Lowes coupons in my experience!

Check your favorite craft store (if they're not a national chain like Michaels, etc.) to see who their supplier is. I just found out last week that Crafts 2000- a super-huge, wonderful, two-hours-in-here-would-never-be-enough kind of store- where I've been shopping for five years, has Pat Catans as their supplier. (So all stores that have them as their supplier have the same sales, but not the same name!) I just got their sale flyer and they have a lot of scrapbooking supplies on sale- plain colors 15 for $1.00, Provo Craft patterned papers 5 for $1.00 for example. (Sounds like a good deal to me, but I'm new at this.) It's worth checking into!
