Note to my kids:
I would LOVE to win this.  If you want to get me something and knowing that Bren, you are in college and have no money, and Ky & Em, you both are too young to work, this is the perfect gift to get me for Mother's Day.  Then, if I do win, I can paint my bedroom, which is way overdue for a paint makeover!!!  Make sure Bren (since your sisters do not have accounts), you go to Valspar's Facebook page and enter why you feel I am deserving to win this.  I am sure you can think of a million reasons why!  xoxo Mom...  (Now, I am hoping they read this!).

HOT!!! Valspar & Krylon Spray Paint .99¢

I just came back from a trip to my local Michael's Craft Store, and low-and-behold I hit the jackpot!   All Valspar and most Krylon Spray Paints are clearanced to .99¢.  Regularly priced at $8.99 and up to yup, just .99¢.  Wowzer!  I asked a customer service representative why so cheap and she replied they are not selling Valspar anymore.  Yippee for me!

Can you imagine the crafts that were going through my head?  Honestly, I couldn't think of all of them, so I just started grabbing colors such as bright pink, black, brown, clear, etc...

There are tons, though when word gets out (or someone sees the sale and "stocks up" they will go quickly.  Hey, a can of spray paint, if the right color, can go along way.

Too many times I have "gotten rid" of stuff because I don't want it anymore, not realizing I can "refurbish".  Well, Crafty Tracy is here and that is what I plan to do.  Sure I will make mistakes along the way, but for the most part, I will be saving my family money.

Happy Shopping!!!
