Of course we both got one. Here's what I got:
I think the coolest thing was this:
So, I had an idea. All crafters have supplies that you aren't ever going to use. Why not get together with a group of your crafting friends and have a grab bag exchange? Everyone can make a bag of their unwanted crafty stuff to share. Then maybe get a little competitive and have a contest to see who can be the most creative with their new supplies.
Give it a try!

I haven't seen any grab bags at my Michaels before. Hmm I may have to scope it out this weekend and see if they do.
That's interesting! I can never resist grab bags.
After the holidays I got a few of these and they are great!! That's a great idea to get rid of a bit if your old stuff that someone could use.
As a child, it was hard for me to resist a grab bag. The mystery of it was too great. I like the idea of a craft grab bag swap with friends.
How fun! Haven't seen these at our Michael's though...
I'm always up for a Grab Bag!
Great idea about the friends grab bag...but my problem is I have trouble getting rid of my supplies...yes I am a crafting hoarder.
The Dr. Seuss album is SO cool! You got lots of neat goodies. I love grab bags.
Mine had these too one day, and I grabbed 4 of them. I couldnt wait to open it lol. Inside I received tons and tons of scrapbook paper and booklets.
I kept a wedding album that I want to put together for my hubby for our 2 years, a kids scrapbook kit, and a few pieces of paper.
I gifted several of the other things, and then ended up selling some of the books too for $5 for 4 - so I make almost half of my money back - haha!
I hope they have some more soon!

I do something like this with my sisters every year when we go on a crafting weekend. We call them 'prizes' and make up games throughout the weekend and give out the prizes.
It is a blast to see what each brings, we had to make a rule to not regift one year as we saw so much of the same stuff and it was apparent that no one wanted it@
Man, now I want to go to Micheals and see if they have these. Great find and good idea on the grab bag thing. I think you could even do this with toys your kids don't use or other stuff.
