There was a sale and I had a coupon.

My first job was working to set up a store that had recently expanded into Arizona. Little did I suspect that it would cause a lifetime of addiction. That store was Michaels, and to be fair, I was already well on my way to a craft addiction because I loved sewing. My job and employee discount just expanded my horizons and introduced me to new ways to empty my wallet.

Oh, the many ways…

Naturally when a new Michaels store opened nearby, I had to check it out. My app conveniently gave me a coupon, although sadly it didn’t stalk me by offering me a map of the new store or thank me for visiting like it does when I’m in ‘my store’ location.

Of course, since we were a mile away from Joann’s I thought we should visit there, too. You know, so the store knows that I still love it. My Joann map also gave me a coupon. And there was a sale.

Just saying.

Here are the results:

My mom thought they would be better charms on a bracelet, but since I don’t wear bracelets I went for earrings. I think they are perfect for the summer to come.

Until next time.
