*****TYYYYYBOOOOOYYYYYDDDD!!!*****

HAHAHAHA! Sorry I was bored when I put that title. Figure Id give everyone a little chuckle or eyebrow lift. 

Sorry to bother you but I went to Joann's today and debated between covering the round cardboxes with fabric or acrylic paint.  I figured fabric might be a bit expensive and I wasnt sure if I would know what I was doing.  Sooooo because you encouraged me Im going the acrylic route.  Now I saw so many different types of paint so Im really lost on which I should use.  Saw some 'Joann brand' for 0.59 which matched a color I needed.  Should I get that or is there another brand or should I go to Michaels for paint?

Thank you for tips and advice!!!!

    WHAT UP?! lol. You will be happy you went the acrylic paint route! It's really easy! I have 2 different brands of paint I've used, both from Michael's. One is Delta Creative, the other is Craft Smart. Both were very inexpensive... like less than $1. {Well, I have a BIG jar of one that was more.} I think the Joann's brand should be good. Depending on how many boxes will be covered with one color, you can probably get away with just a 2fl oz bottle. But if you'll be using a lot, get the 8fl oz bottle.

    Oh, guess what?! People have received their invitations TODAY and they were just mailed YESTERDAY!!! I'm hype! Now... if they would start RSVP'n!!! {The 2 in my counter thing are my mom and brother! LOL!}

    Dang thats really good that people already received their invites.  Hopefully the few that had it mailed get it tomorrow.  I did the same thing you did when it came to the counter.  I out myself, FI, my parents and siblings initially and BP.  So officially only 5 people have actually RSVP'd which is annoying as heck.

    Thanks for the heads up on the paint.  Ill swing by Michaels and Joann's this weekend after work, I forgot my coupons so I couldnt get it today.

    LOL! I'm not about to play with you and the coupons... but take FI so he can use one, too! And bring a BM, just in case.

    Oww, I should count Babe and I and the BP, too! But I might count them twice on accident.

    FI's not here so I cant take him with me.  Ill probably have a jacket and sunglasses in the car so I can go in twice.  I wish I had a second person I could take with me.

    Oh yeah, I forgot he's not there. My ooops! Girl, I have 4 Michael's within a 10-15 mile radius of my house. So, I can easily go to 3 in one day! lol. BUT I usually just take Babe with me. Maybe you should go once in the morning and once in the evening. They won't know.

    I wish. They are not close at all. Each Mishael is about 30 minutes away from me so I only go there when Im in the area or on the road.  But Ill figure something out.  Hopefully they dont realize its me.
