Have you seen these at Michaels? They are called Vintage Findings from Making Memories. I started picking them up before school was out and I remember thinking to myself, "these will be fun to play with this summer!" Hmmmm....what was I thinking!!!???? Even while taking these pictures I must have heard "mommy" only about 3,458,983 times! But really, aren't they so neat!!??
This one is called, "mini travel kit". What I also love is that on the back they show a picture of what you can do with it.
"mini kit girl"
And then there are these little packages of glassine envelopes, artisan labels, plain labels, stamps, tickets and much, much more!
Every morning when I wake up I say to myself, "no matter WHAT....today I am going to make something!!!!!!" Today I actually managed to take these out of the packages.So in the meantime, I'll just keep looking at pretty millinery....
...and great old papers!
There's always tomorrow!

Those are great inspiration, I am sure today you will get a little window of time to play, cannot wait to see what you make! Hugs, Diane
Hi Jennifer, I just pointed these out to my husband the other day when we were in Michael's and picked up a couple kits. I think they're great.
oh wow ! I would be at M's to buying it all up if I had one near by! Oh to be able to shop again , well I shop just about everyday but ONLINe and its so NOT the same..lol
Hope all is well out your way .Cant wait to see what goodies you make :)
Hi.. I so know what you mean.. Every day I think this is the day to create.. Then I have my kids telling me "Take me here".. It has been a busy summer. I am ready to get back to schedules.. I saw those at Michael's too.. I was waiting till they went on sale.. I stare at my wonderful stuff everyday and just hope soon.. I can make something with it all.. Glad I am not the only one who feels this way.. Good Luck and have fun!
OK...see, this is why you and I, miles apart mind you...great minds think alike! LOL. Every time I go to the big "m" I buy one or two, so that I don't knowingly spend like about 100.00 on these things...LOL. But they are great aren't they? I can't wait to see what you make.

I picked up a few of those at Michaels and well and mine are still waiting on my craft table!! Good intentions...too little time.
Ooooh, I'm so jealous! I love spreading things out to play!
I am in love with that whole section at Michael's!! I only bought the one with the gold bird in it. But I swear I was tempted to buy one of each:)You have a lovely blog.
How cool! I am so going to Micheal's tomorrow!
m ^..^
Aren't they awesome? I found it so hard to control myself!
Ooo... you lucky girlies in the US..!! those kits look fab, to play with.
Big Booo... as it'll about a year to get 'em over here in the UK...!!
Looks like the makers of making memories have been spending time on etsy, these kits look very much like the ones peoples put together on there....
thanks for sharing, Marion ;0>
Ohhh, I haven't seen those yet! Still waiting for the kiddo's to head back to school and then I am SO taking a day at Michael's!
I work at Michaels as their floral designer, and I have walked by that vintage scrapbooking line and always forget to go back to buy some! Maybe today when I go in, I'll pick some up:) Looks like fun!

I saw those. Trying to resist....as, well, did you see my craft space I posted about. I would just have to "toss" it in the room and never find it!
