crayons?
What kind/size of sketch books are we going to get? I was hoping to have at least 2 for the collaborative choose your own adventure books (1 can start in downtown mpls and the other in downtown st. paul). I have an idea for decoupaging the covers, so maybe we should jsut shop together?
We probably want 1 for the commutes, too.
Globe:
I think I'm going to buy this globe tonight. Do you think we would use the wall map? LEt me know. I am wililng to pay the $25 for both.

Art Scraps on St. Clair Avenue in Saint Paul has really cheap composition notebooks and other great & cheap crafty materials... http://www.artstart.org/ (Click on 'Reuse Store' from the menu bar at the top)
I don't have time to go during their open hours unfortunately but it's a good place for this kind of stuff...
