<\/a>Today I had to go to Brentwood so since I had to waste gas ($3.81\/gal at the “cheap” Chevron station! WTF?<\/strong>) to drive twenty miles to get there, I stopped at the Michael’s in Antioch (at the Bypass and Lone Tree) and hit the motherlode. They’re having a pretty big sale – most things are 2\/$5 or 2\/$3, and the strand beads are 25% off.<\/p>\n

I don’t think the local Michael’s has the new stuff (the PH Michael’s is slow on the uptake and always has been; their buyer must not be on the ball – but the Antioch one is pretty good), so if you happen to be in Antioch, check it out. They had a ton of new Blue Moon charms and stuff, and new beads from the same brand that does their strand beads.<\/p>\n

OH AND THAT REMINDS ME: At JoAnn’s in Park ‘N Shop, check out their strand beads – a lot of them are on clearance, including ALL of the resin. So pop over there and snag some beads, most strands are $1.97. (But some are not, so be careful what you grab.)<\/p>\n

Um, now that I’ve promoted capitalism and blatant consumerism I’m done for the day.<\/p>\n

(Oh and did you hear Magknits<\/a> shut down? Sounds like a kerfuffle to me… Good thing I printed off the sock patterns I wanted from them.)<\/p>\n
