What a Deal!

So the other night, when we couldn't go to Clay Cafe, I went to Hobby Lobby instead. I had a gift card from Christmas that I hadn't spent yet, so off we went. I went to the clearance rows, just to see what they had. Most of it was stuff that was broken in some form or fashion, but look what I found for $3.33, in perfectly good shape! There were only 2 of them, but that's all I needed. Now the candles were $5 each, but who cares? At least who cares until you see the ad in the paper the next morning saying that all candles are half off this week. Man!! That's not right!!
A redone mantel. I took off all the pictures and left it simple. I also got the PRAY "sign" there. They have cool stuff, I could spend a fortune at Hobby Lobby.
Now for the big news for the scrapbook girls......Monday I had nothing that had to be done, so I sat down and actually scrapbooked at home!! I got a ton of stuff done, I'm so proud. I decided that the reason I don't get much done on scrapbook night, (aside from all the talking and laughing), is that there just isn't enough room to really spread out. I could have even made a bigger mess if there would have been a leaf in the table. Anyway, I am almost caught up. I just did Thanksgiving pictures, from just this Thanksgiving, so I only have the rest of November, then December. But, I'm going to do a separate album for Hunter for school, I did for Janae as well, and unfortunately I have to buy one. I think I'm going to have to get one as well for 2009. I'll have to go check my stockpile and see if I've got a spare. I'm very much afraid that I don't. Albums aren't cheap either, and I'm not looking forward to buying 2 at once. BUT, I won't have to buy another one for at least a year, right??


See my trusty little heater there keeping me warm? What a great investment! Best gift I ever got......

Almost caught up??!!! You LIE! NO one's EVER almost caught up. It goes against all known laws of physics and mathematics and possibly geology!

Or maybe I'm just jealous that you just scrapped Thanksgiving and I'm still stuck in 2004. dangit!!

I love Hobby Lobby with all my heart. Your mantel (mantle?) looks great!
Yeah for scrapbooking! I agree, it is ALL about spreading out! We need to scrapbook in the barn again so we have more room. ;) Kristen...Kristen did you read that???
