| Renee Mullins and Sandra Malone both have new books out that are calling to me. I've seen them on Artist's Club, is there anywhere else I could check for a better price?

| Have you tried Renee's site to see if it's a better price ordering straight from her. On her blog she was giving away a free pattern with book order I think. Here is the link. |

| If you haven't given in to your urges, you might google the titles of the books and see what comes up. I quite often do this to find the best price, but look out for S & H....it can cost you more in the long run. Belle |

| I haven't given in to the "urge" yet and haven't found them anywhere cheaper yet either. I don't "NEED" them, but that doesn't keep me from wanting them! LOL I went to a craft show this week, and one booth had a bunch of old painting books and pattern packets. The pattern packets were priced pretty cheaply but they had $10 and $20 tags on the books! I laughed outloud at that because I had most of the books and they didn't cost more than $9.95 originally and they are only from the 80's and 90's, not like they are vintage of anything. They weren't manned booths or I would have had to ask how they came up with the pricing for sure. LOL I ended up buying a really cute Uncle Sam stake--yes, I could make something similar, but I really liked this one and I've not been very productive lately. (I know you all will agree with that statement!) LOL |

| It won't work with new books, but with used books, go to amazon or half.com and buy them for a very good price. |

| Luvs.....Craft shows are always fun and especially when things like high priced used books happen, BUT!!!!! Thank You for giving me an ideal!!!! I will take my "I won't use these" book along and see if I can sell then for a really big .50 cents. As we would say back in the day..."cool" And, show us your Uncle Sam, just cause you didn't paint him doesn't make him uninteresting. Belle |

| Belle, I'll be pulling out all my patriotic stuff this week, so I'll be sure to snap a pic of him to show you. You could probably get a couple dollars for your used books at a craft show--but $20 maybe not! LOL Luvs |
