Does this happen to anyone else when doing a project. You go to buy the supplies you need and if you need 25 crystals they only sell them in packages of 22. If you needed 21 they'd probably only sell them in package of 20.
It's like they hire gremlins to spy on me and then change the packaging count to one or 2 less than I need, so that I have to make a special trip back to the store.
I'm making my sister-in-laws unity candle for her wedding. I decided to add some crystals to the outside of the candle. No "Michael Jackson" looking thing but it will have a pattern to it. I thought I'd use 2 colors of crystals, each package contains 22 I didn't think about it I assumed that was more than enough. I am exactly 4 crystals short, 2 of each color, so I have to go back today and purchase not 1 but 2 more packages for the pattern to look nice. (or at least I hope for it to look nice) Now if they would sell them in packages of 25 I would have had one crystal in each color left over for a just incase something falls off before the wedding fix. Yes I need to purchase the extras because I was stupid and started at the back of the candle and the missing pieces are right in front by the invitation where everyone will see.
But it seems any time I do a crafty project I run into this. If I have to buy a bulk of something the count is always 1 or 2 short of what I really need. Am I the only one? Are they just picking on me or does this happen to anyone else? It's like the hot dog and hot dog bun packaging count but crafts, and how do they know how many I needed before I even knew?
Alright sorry rant off now, I just hope they both like it.
