Didn’t NEED An Easel. Got One Anyway!

I really am the worst impulse shopper ever! I ran into Michaels Craft Store before Christmas to purchase just ONE thing. I told myself I was going right in and right out. I didn’t even take my credit card. I had enough cash to grab more iron on vinyl for the Grandkids t-shirts. Yeah… that whole pep-talk, no wallet thing didn’t work.  It never works! That store sucks me in every time, especially with the sales!  That’s a long way around telling you why and HOW I managed to come home with a new painting easel for the Grandkids! It was half off!! HALF!! I just couldn’t resist!!

It is pretty cool! One side is a blackboard and the other side is a whiteboard. Along the top is also a fitted bar to hold a roll of paper.

Putting it together…. well, if you actually put the legs on correctly it goes together easily. I managed to put it together myself, but it did take me 2 tries.  I really should start with the directions!

It’s a nice sturdy easel. With baskets that are attached and under the easel to hold the paints, markers and brushes. I can also stash the drop cloth in a basket. (These kids are messy! My rug is NEW! Besides I had extra $$ since the easel was half off!)

I love that it folds up and stores out-of-the-way. That’s important because my little craft room is jam-packed, crowded!!

The day after I purchased my easel I had an offer to review a roll of butcher paper. HOT DIGGITY!! Not only is the roll of butcher paper the perfect width of 18″ it’s also 75″ LONG!! Better yet it’s PINK!!! More of a brownish pink but it’s still pink!  This is truly quality paper, perfect for smoking meat or art work!! The paper is thick enough that marker doesn’t bleed through. Thick enough that craft paints don’t bleed through either!!

If you are looking for butcher paper for food this paper is FDA approved and made in the USA too!

This butcher paper arrived in a very sturdy tube so the paper arrives without a single wrinkle or tear.

• ✅BETTER THAN ALUMINUM FOIL: Our pink butcher paper beats foil hands down because it is an exclusive blend of kraft pulp, engineered for resistance to heat and moisture which allows the meat to breath & directly contributes to the flavor, moistness and texture of the meat.
• ✅ UNWAXED FOOD GRADE PAPER: Our pink butcher paper has excellent wet strength, which is vital to avoid messy slip-ups when cooking, resting, and cutting meat. And it accomplishes this without any sort of wax, plastic coating or anything else that could affect the flavor of what you have cooked.
• ✅ FDA APPROVED: Our pink butcher paper is 100% FDA approved for direct food contact and manufactured with highest quality in USA.

WHINES

Nope! Strong, thick paper that doesn’t bleed through when the kids are painting. The paper is a great color! Bonus I can cook with it if I wanted (and didn’t tell the kids!)!! How can I complain about that!?
