This has nothing to do with our project but I'm really excited with the haul that I got today and you all are the most likely to understand how happy I am right now. I hit up Lowe's, ACMoore, Michael's and Barnes & Noble. I also went to a sports store for compression wraps but that has nothing to do with crafting.

I got cement board tape. I went to Lowe's for drywall joint tape but they didn't have any small rolls of it and I wasn't sure how much I would actually wind up using so I liked the size of the roll and the pattern of the cement board tape plus I got 50 ft of that for less than $4.

A.C.Moore was super fun, as usual. I had a coupon plus today there was a coupon for additional points to go on my card. I got clearance poster art in various sizes, from full 24x36 poster size to 36x12 pictures. One I think I'm going to frame and some of the others I am going to cut and frame like a triptych but maybe 4-6 pieces total. The rest will be cut up as collage pieces. Each of these were only $1. One dollar each!!! I also got two stained glass art coloring books (one mermaids and one for butterflies), one bottle of gold flecked acrylic ink, some stencils and stencil brushes, a sanding pad, several mini punches, a tiny ream of lace and a container of pearl beading.

Michael's was the surprise for me today. I usually find good stuff there but I honestly didn't have anything in mind but still found $40 worth. I got some mini hemp reams, packets of small crocheted flowers, a ribbon pack, 2 clear stamps, 6 water brushes, a tube of coloring paper washi, a piece of wall art and a roll of jute.

I got a book from B & N, which I will read and then use the pages as background pieces.

I'm getting ready to start my 100 days of art.

For those that don't know what I'm talking about, click here.

I'm looking forward to it and think that I'll have a lot of fun doing it.
