    Spent nearly two hours on Amazon researching jewelry making pieces and a shirt for office.

    Shopping cart said $20

    When I was ready to lay the shopping cart said $40.


    Turns out the shirt I thought had free shipping did not have free shipping unless I get free trial of Amazon Prime.

    That really ticked me off.

    Last time I had free trial of Amazon I had to do treasure hunt of how to cancel free trial before they charge me $72 a year.

    What a bunch of Baloney!


    Then I went to Aliexpress and say similar or higher quality jewelry. making equipment cost nearly half!

    Then I realized I can make a necklace or two with stretch magic (instead of wire) and order superglue later on.


    Hoping to wrap smooth yarn around moulds I will cut out of cardboard. Use as substitute of silk thread. Needs to be superglued I to mound. Have so much Caron simply soft yarn that tangles easy but I figure I can try to use it for wrapping parts of jewelry.


    So today I purchased nothing .... hopefully will get better deals next week or so!
