I know.  TOTALLY unlike me!  But, I wanted to pop on to let you know that Silhouette America is having a really good discount on their consumables right now.  So, if you are a Silhouette crafter you need more vinyl, fabric pins, new mats, or most anything other than an actual machine, now is a good time to stock up.  You can head to the Silhouette Store and use code MAKELY at checkout to get 25% off those items (this is an affiliate code).  The code will work through Thursday, September 19, 2013.
