I went to Wal Mart yesterday looking for cheap craft supplies (and didn't buy anything! I couldn't let myself do it! Yay!) and saw some in the craft supply section. So I'm not recommending Wal Mart, because they're evil, but if Wal Mart has them, that generally means that a less evil, equally accessible, readily available store type place will definitely have them.

Post Subject: 2 very cool crafting sites that I found today, had to share
I hope this is ok to do here. I'm not affiliated with either of these sites, so I'm not advertising for gain. I just thought you all might enjoy them as much as I did (especially an online place for cheap craft supplies). Maybe y'all already know about these 2 places, but I just discovered them, so I wanted to share for anyone else who didn't know.
1. Create For Less, The cheapest craft supply store I've ever seen....$10 alphabet rubber stamping set for only $2.87? Shut up!

2. Crafty Pod, a weekly show put on by Sister Diane from over at Supernaturale.com. This week, she featured crafting 'zines, last week it was all things to do with pipecleaners. Great ideas and links to go along with the podcast. Can be listened to right in your browser.

Cookbooks! I can usually find one for under ten dollars at Barnes and Noble or some place like that; granted, they're not the best. But I got a cute little "Asian hot and spicy" one for very cheap.
Craft supplies!
Sunglasses (I never spend more than five dollars on sunglasses, and they're always better than everyone else's I see.)
Sunglasses are my next object of collection. For awhile I collected winter scarves, but now I want hollywood-esque sunglasses. Thank God for Dollar General.

My boyfriend and I are giving pictures of us too, since pretty much all of our relatives are a distance away. I'm also making gift baskets (and using record bowls for the baskets) full of soaps and teas for relatives. I'll probably buy cheap craft supplies for my neices and nephew and then doll them up. I'm also making a bunch of decoupaged craft items for my friend, who is into oriental decor and trying to get an apartment. (I lucked out and found a catalog FULL of Asian art and photography.) Smoking bottles, tea, and homemade ornaments round things out. I am a bit ambivalent about a few of the males on my list, but I have a few inexpensive ideas. The only real worry now is the boy. I only have one big present thought out for him, and I'm going to try to buy lots of fast food gift certificates as stocking stuffers (he's obsessed).
