Score!

I'm at the point in my Library of Memories class that I need to make a decision regarding what type of albums I'm going to use for my "Library Albums". I've pretty much decided on American Crafts albums, but I need to decide on whether I'm going to continue to use post bound or change to 3-ring. Today I took a trip to Hobby Lobby on my lunch hour because all of their albums and refills were 50% off and I recall seeing them carry some American Crafts albums.

After some deliberation, I've decided to start using the 3-ring 12X12 cloth albums. Hobby Lobby carries them, thus I will be able to use 40% off coupons or in the case of today, 50% off. Now the next question is color.....I need different color albums for "Us", "People", "Places" and "Things", so I decided on black for "Us", leaf green for "Things", sky for "Places" and chestnut for "People". This is what they look like:

At the southside Hobby Lobby, I scored on 2 black and 2 leaf green and 3 packages of plastic refills for 50% off!

Now that I know Hobby Lobby carries these, I will be stalking the two stores in Des Moines whenever they go on sale or there is a 40% coupon. I figure I'm going to need 3 black, 3 leaf green, 2 sky and 2 chestnut and I'll be good for all of my pages up to now. This of course does not included the separate albums I have for Christmas, vacations and heritage but those albums will never change. I did them separately on purpose and will continue to do that.
