[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Beaded jewelry making

Thu May 14 14:57:50 UTC 2020

We use to have a dog store at the mall here and they had some nice
charms cheep. They closed down after some family stuff this last
January.

Joanns has a lot of sales today, 40 percent off of regular items and
other things.

Sometimes i find if I put things in my cart then walk away, a few days
later I get a coupon or two for free or cheep shipping so on. Along
with 30 percent off regular items.
