First I hit up the fabric area and picked up these. The two layer cakes in the back are great because, really, there's no cutting required. I can just take those blocks, sew them together, give them a border, and that's quilt done! The littler packs will require just a bit more work, but it's still simple. Plus, with all that Halloween loveliness, I don't really care how long it takes!
Then I went through all the scrapbook goodness they had there. I picked up some older papers, some new papers, some clearance stuff, just a mix of everything. I'm super happy with that trip!
The next day we did a bit of shopping, some eating, and I hit up Michael's. They had all their Halloween stuff on 60% off, so I got a few more things to decorate with. I got those neat new boxes to put stuff in on my desk, LOVE it! I got a stamp set, some stuff to make my own wreaths with, a few glass jars, some ribbon and embellishments, and a few ornaments.
New stash is always exciting! But I like to stay away from scrapbooking stores (really?) to stay away from temptation!!! Patsy from

Thank you, Maria! Sirius is a medical alert dog and he's a Pomeranian.
DeleteI love traveling just so I can visit new stores. I found a great one in Canada that I hit every time I visit my dad.
ReplyDeleteI am green with envy! Love all the awesome goodies you got on your trip! Love the bright Halloween Colors! Wonder why they had every thing 60% off at Michaels. The one here in town is still getting in new stuff! Yaya a good find for sure. Have fun playing with the new goodies. Vickie #41
ReplyDeleteLove the jars of brew and such. And I like that you're showing the real thing - the mess you leave after you've picked out stuff to take with you..I do the same and always think it'll only take a couple of minutes to sort out when I get home. Wrong! Hope you're enjoying the Sierras.
ReplyDeleteJust look at all those button jars, how lovely. I've had a terrible time sourcing Halloween stuff in the UK. The craft shops don't want to know. Happy woyww.
