I'm almost 60 miles away and always considered it WAY TOO far to go. Sounds like it would be worth the road trip someday. I had no idea there was another Pea so close, KelleeM. |

I bought at honeybee stamps the front door die and the Xmas add on as well as at the lake stencils and dies and the cottage countryside stencils. All of the for my tiny houses from them. Those were all 25% off.
I bought some previous release from the greetery some curio products.
I bought from pink and main some transfer folders for my minc and some foilables
I bought the most from the stamp market a lot of their new release, most of their ribbons, a shaker crown and stamp set that went with it and the book of spells add on for my book die. Plus 2 ink cubes I did not have.
I bought some more card stock from C-9 and their stackable house dies as well as the weekend market bundle.
I did get the free pinkfresh die set from scrapbook.com as I also bought another waffle flower grip mat and some white gelly roll pens.
From taylored expressions I bought the I’m a hugger dies plus the mini calendars when the dies were 30% off.
And finally from the tower a bunch of Gina k shaker strips at 30% off

Anyone get anything fun and crafty this week? My Gemini Jr works great, but I saw the Gemini II on sale for 40% off at JoAnn’s for $200 which I thought was good. I put it in my basket just to see how much it would cost with taxes and I was shocked that another coupon (20% off all purchases) stacked with it, bringing the cost down to $158 (it retails at $329). I was going to upgrade eventually but I felt like I could not pass that discount up. So…Merry Christmas to me, lol. My plan is to hold on to the Jr for a bit to make sure I like the II, and then pass it on to my niece who is starting to get into crafting and art. You will not regret upgrading to the larger version. I found that my old Circuit plates fit perfectly sideways and I don't have to use the large plates to run a smaller set of die cuts. The machine is powerful, The Magic Mat from Scrapbook.com is a life saver! Very easy to rejuvenate, and get crisp intricate die cuts. I still kept my large Spellbinders machine though as the Gemini only accepts thin die sandwiches.
I broke down and got the Stampwheel, after reading here and watching a few videos--could be a good addition to my stamping techniques. I bought a few things earlier in the month because I received points or discounts for my birthday.  Good to know, thanks! Is the sandwich for the Gemini II using the Magic Mat the same as for the Jr (bottom cutting plate, magic mat, paper, die face down, top cutting plate)? |

I recently saw a video where someone used this:
Bottom to top
Plate
Die
Paper
Magic mat
SIZZIX plate.
The Sizzix plate is slightly thinner than the Gemini and this compensates for the Magic Mat size.
It works perfectly.

The only thing I bought was Shimelle's Main Character Energy full digital collection from the AC Digitals site. It was still a bit too expensive for my liking, but I wanted it for a layout I was working on. Normal price $23.99 less 30% off = $16.79. I also had another four $2 kits in my cart at The Sweet Shoppe, but that particular sale only lasted 24 hours and when I went back in to see if I really wanted to buy them, the sale had finished. I wasn't too annoyed with myself, which tells me I didn't really need/want those kits - they were just the best out of the $2 kits on offer. |

The Hip Kit Club sale started this morning, and I was able to grab the July 2023 kits that I've been eyeing for four months. Of course, a few other things jumped into my cart, as well! I picked up the August 2023 main kit and the three sets of alphabets, the November 2022 Color Extravaganza Kit, and some cardstock. I passed on a grab bag this time, but I believe the grab bags haven't sold out yet!
