Shop 'til you drop

Since I decided that I wanted to learn how to sew and create things (foods, scrap-booking, card making, etc.) I went and bought a few essentials to get started. I still have a lot more to buy. The crafty world can get pretty expensive. It's a good thing that I'm a teacher and get 15 % and/or 20% off everything I buy at JoAnn's. I also love the great sales they have at Michael's and JoAnn's.

Above are some of the items I recently bought. I had to buy the little container to hold my supplies first, because it's pink, and second, because I don't have a craft room so that is my portable craft room for now. To the left are some ribbons I bought. Target has the colorful rolls of ribbon for a dollar each and the dollar tree has a variety of colors of ribbon too.
