"Shut up" hee hee
What I did this weekend! Finally got to go spend my birthday money!!!
"Shuuuuuut uuuuuuuup"!!! No I really don't use that saying but I though it appropriate for the title of the post! LOL
Paper!!!!!!!! Lots of paaaaaaperrrrrrr! Oh now..when I discovered the paper isle (sp) at Hobby Lobby...Holy S*** some one hand me a bib!!!! (btw this is the only place I have been able to find decorative papers at so bear with me here) 90 racks of different papers! Oh MY! Yup my hubby counted the racks...I don't know if this was to appease my paper addiction or to see exactly how long it was that he would be waiting for me to exit the isle LOL He was pretty good about it all!
and more papers!!!! They were 2 for a buck and I mostly got two of each of what I liked! One sheet to cut into a 4x6 size for my paper basket of papers that I use in my art...and keep one large sheet for my journal...I know where is that art journal anyways?! I'm sure I will work in it again soon!
I really need to find a scrapbooking store so I can find all the papers I like to drool over. And an art supply store....a physical store ...I didn't find everything on my list of supplies but I did find these.......
Clear rubber stamps! GET OUT!! LMAO just had to say that hee hee!
I can't remember what I was looking at in the store when I turned around and saw these and my chin dropped to the floor and that heavely music came on just like in the movies you know the one where it sounds like angels singing in one of those glory moments lol This was one of those moments! I reached over (whilst drooling) tugging at my hubbys shirt sleeve...I was like a babbling idiot ahhhbuuuuahhhhhuhhhhh OOH BABY! ONE OF EACH PLEASE! Can you tell that I don't buy supplies very often??? LOL I have yet to take them out of the package and try em out...No time right now though..I got to get busy packing boxes cuz we are moving in one month!! YAY! I dread packing! hmmph!
Finally! A speedball! With many differet tips for writing, sketching, calligraphy!! It will take me some practice though...been alonnnnnnnnng time...Can we say highschool! lol Crap 25 years ago! Dang! Time really does fly by! LOL Should prove to be interesting! hee hee
I did get more paints but that was just way to embarrassing to show LOL
A few more rubber stamps and stencils and some gel medium! Haven't tried this brand of gel medium before so not so sure if I will like it or not...we'll see.
And then I seen this and just had to have one...
I thought...well stickers would be fun! Would save on gel medium! lol I mean it is acid free! Am I wrong here?! lol If anything the kids will have lots of stickers LOL Or make some stickers to go along in packages with art that I sell. Ok now I am offically out of room on my desk for all these things so I am off to pack what I am not using and keep out things that I always use!!!! I know..this sucks to buy all these goodies and then be tortured having them all packed away!!! I am still kicking myself in the arse for not getting a paper cutter so I am going to be cutting papers by hand lol As we my hub and I left the store he said, "Gee ..so if I were to go into a place like this and just start grabbing papers and buy them for you...you'd be tickled pink?" I said, "Oh boy howdy! You'd be so spoiled rotten if you did" LMAO Oh! You should of seen the devilish grin on his face!!! lol I'm sure you can imagine was going through his mind! hee hee hee
Love ya all! Create something wonderful!

Love your shopping trip photos and purchases! I love the clear stamps too and can picture the music and visuals as you bow down to try to select some! Enjoy!

holy smolly girl!! I'm totally jealous! I actually prefer hobby lobby to michael's for paper and stamps, they have a way better selection! You totally scored--great way to spend you birthday money!! :)

Wow, you hit the jackpot with all the great papers and supplies! I had a JoAnn's gift card for Christmas, isn't it fun to buy all that artsy/craftsy stuff (specially when trying to keep art supplies spending down otherwise)!
Hey, you got the hub trained now, to buy what you like - great job! ;)
May your packing go well and fast!!

ohhh....that was a heavenly shopping trip.
The best thing about HL is that sometimes they run a sale where their paper is 4 for a $1.00
Now that's really fun !!!!
