I have so been waiting to share my great deal with someone!!!
 
Thanks, Suzanne

Michaels: 20% off your entire purchase Friday and Saturday

20% is pretty good, especially since it includes sale items. The nice things is that you have a 2 day window.

The downfall for all these entire purchase coupons from Michaels is that whenever I get an urge to go, I decide to wait till I have an entire purchase coupon before I go.

I always have fun at Michaels. I usually find inexpensive craft activities and dollar items. Watch your prices. You can sometimes find the same or similar items elsewhere.

Free Concert for Families with Young Children: Mama Doni Band Sunday, February 20th 10:30-11:30 a.m.

From the PJ Library Newsletter:

"Free Concert for Families with Young Children

Mama Doni logo
On Sunday, February 20th, The PJ Library in Houston and Yom Limmud present the Mama Doni Band in a free concert! This lively,
interactive concert will take place in the Barish Sanctuary at Congregation Emanu El, 1500 Sunset Blvd, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. 
 
Recognized in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Jewish Daily Forward, and Jewish Women International magazine, The Mama Doni Band delights families throughout the country. The band was the winner of the Simcha Award for "Inspiring Joy Through Music," at the International Jewish Music Festival in Amsterdam, Holland. They embarked on their first national tour in fall 2009, and their 2010 schedule includes Cincinnati, Hartford, Long Island and New Orleans.

 

Quirky, funny and always unpredictable, Mama Doni's music brings a fun new twist to family music, venturing through dance beats, Latin pop, "Jewgrass" hoe-downs and dazzling disco ditties to making Yiddish expressions and Jewish culture cooler than ever. Kids, parents and grandparents will all be dancing and singing in the aisles!

 

The concert is FREE and open to the community.
