My favorite question on my teacher's budget was, "Are you going to throw that out?" lol That is how I acquired so many supplies for my classroom. Now, I ask for mini purposes.
Mini Enthusiasts are everywhere. Some embrace their mini selves. Others don't yet know they are one. It is not necessary for one to be a crafter or even collector to be classified as an M.E.! Just start talking about or showing your minis and you will see that mini light go off in an M.E.'s eyes. I saw it happen when given two of the items below.
If you know Grandmommy, you know I am a true miniaturist or M.E. I interpret the world in terms of minis. What can that be used for in mini world? Hmmm.
Because of either my constant mini babbling or from asking for valuable mini leftovers, I recently ended up with these fine additions to my studio supplies!
Many thanks :-D

| This is a really cool assortment of Glidden paint samples. Can you believe this! It was given to me by a certain large bellied art teacher ( Best wishes for you and your son who is due soon!) |
This is linoleum from an apartment repairman at my daughter's building |

| I asked for scraps, but he insisted I take the whole roll! I think he was excited because I requested it in Spanish. lol |

| This the color I chose for my free paint coupon from Lowe's |

| It is the perfect peach color I have been trying to mix-with no success. You can't really tell, but it is painted on the rear wall. Great coverage and a little goes a long way. This is a future store in the Mall I am making. Update coming soon! I tried and tried to get good shots, but these were as good as it got. |
Sooooo, everything in this post was free! How cool is that?
