I've been working on finishing up projects. I have a long want-to-do list, but I also had a couple of projects sitting around that were waiting to be finished that I wrapped up this weekend.
| Crocheted bag in Chevron patter - Hemp/Blue/Pink |
On Sunday I decided to do some browsing and went to Michael's to see if there was anything in the clearance aisle for the wedding. On my way in, I noticed they had the $2 Grab Bags. I've looked through these but never actually bought one but peeking through the bag I saw some things that might be nice for work and a few skeins of yarn in a color I liked. Here's what I got for $4:
See those two purple things? They're candy molds. One has the numbers 1 - 10 and the other has the second half of the alphabet. Well, I got to thinking that maybe, just maybe, there would be another bag that would have the first half of the alphabet. I also realized that it could be that bag was already purchased. However, beyond that, there was also WAY more than $4 worth of stuff in these bags. So I walked back to the store and bought the other four bags. And here's what I got for $12 (plus tax):
Best part? There was another candy mold with the first half of the alphabet!!!! The candy molds alone would have cost more than $12 so I definitely got my money's worth. I'm trying to think of something I could fill the molds with to make an alphabet for the kids at work to use. Any ideas welcome!
Wondering what the final result is and what the random things in this picture are? I went through and counted (almost) everything so here you go!
After this, I may never be able to pass up a grab bag again. But Eric says he's fine with is since it's just $2 (and even he sees the value of it!). Isn't that sweet?
