Well as soon as Michael's here gets in their Halloween stuff, I'm diving for the stuff I want to do my Witches Lair, and other interior and outdoor decorations. There are a few Lemax pieces I'd like but I'll start with the other stuff first.

I can't wait!!! And I'm sure they can't either as I think they are thinking I'm some kind of loonie calling there every week to see if anythings in yet. So far they said its just the fall garlands and flowers. I'm saving my drive though for the real gold! :wink:

I stopped our local Michael's today and the only thing they have put out so far is the "Fun-Kins" which are the carvable foam pumpkins.

But they were clearing out the seasonal aisles and the worker told me that they will start putting out the Halloween stuff on July 5th
Is it Halloween yet? and by the way it's not makeup it's jaundice.

I have never done a fun-kin before. Perhaps I will try it this year, I was never good at carving pumpkins but mostly because it got so messy and then they just rot : (

I never made it to Michaels this past weekend so I need to go soon!

I'm planning to go after hubby returns to camp. He's finally getting to come home tomorrow for a week or so after being in camp for 2 months, so I'll be spending time with him, and this is our Canada Day Long weekend this weekend. So ya, after he's left to return to camp, then I'll go into Abbotsford and see whats out, oh boy I hope they have the stuff out by then.
:wink: :D

DOD I hope you are enjoying him being home! I went to Michaels the other day but they only had some fall garland out. Someone mentioned on another thread that mid july or so is when it should come out.

Hey NaturePixie, I hope when I get out to go to the one closest to me they have out the Signs, and Potion bottles, those are 2 of my highest Priorities.
I'm really wanting some of the signs they had last year here. THey were like a light tin/metal material and they had different Witch Type Sayings on them, did you see those? And the potion bottles I want, well I only got one last year, they're like a coloured glass "not the ceramic looking ones" Mine says Wool of Bat I think with like a classy type label on it. I'd like to get the rest of the set.
What did you buy?

That's what they have..lol I bought three of the tin signs my favorite one says "Welcome to Sinister Sally's Witch's Curse and Suppy Hut". I plan on going to buy a few more signs later.. I have plenty of bottles already but I did write down some of the sayings to use..lol

The medium sign was 5.99 the two smaller signs were 2.99. The bottles range from 2.99 to 4.99.

The tag says US price $5.99 /Can $9.99.. Do they really cost that much there?

I also had a 40% off coupon I used on the medium sign ..lol I love coupons..lol So it was actually $3.59..

NaturePixies, Sadly yes, the tags are correct, which makes it rough when you see all the stuff you like but are on a tight budget :cry: I've heard of people having these 40% off coupons, but you see the closest Michael's to me is in the next town, so thats probably why I don't get them, double booo hooo :cry:
