The Pink Cricut

I took a little trip to Michael's with a couple of my favorite scrappers last night.  It was a last minute kinda thing....I kept reading Michael's ad headline, "Lowest Scrapbooking Prices of the Season," and I just could not resist. 

Now, I am typically a Hobby Lobby girl--because in our town they offer a better selection--and have better prices most of the time.  But, Michaels gets a visit from me every once in awhile.  And, the ad was right--there were some pretty great prices on things.  All their scrapbooking storage was 50% off.  I could've really stocked up, but the question of where am I going to put it...kept floating through my head.  So, I stuck to another set of plastic jar containers for my prima flowers- and a new small carry tote- in ZEBRA print.

Their paper was 40% off as well--which heaven knows I did NOT need paper--so I just picked up one booklet of DCWV in Songbird, because it was too cute to pass up, and I knew it was a Michael's exclusive.

Inks were also 40% off--uhoh.  I just started collecting the fluid chalk inks--and so I picked up a couple more sets.  So far not too shabby...then we came upon something I have never seen before...something that will bring me back to Michael's more often in the future.  It was a whole section of American Girl crafting supplies.  We are talking their own stamps, ink, books, paper, stickers, jewelry making kits, knitting kits--EVERYTHING. 

Well, how could I pass up adding to my darling daughter's collection, when we have a trip to American Girl in a few weeks?  I did pretty good--and only bought a few stickers and stamps.  I could have gone crazy buying things--and you know per usual, American Girl was not cheap and it was only 20% off. 

The new scrapping items went straight into the tote daddy picked up for Alexis the other day...isn't he sweet?  And, doesn't he know his girls too well?  So, well that at 8:00 he texted us a reminder of time--because I had promised I wouldn't take very long....and he had an errand to run before 9. 

Oops...where does the time go when you enter a craft store? 

Now, off to using some of my pretty new paper!

So, I have been working really hard tonight--on the new "look" of my creative blog.  My DH also purchased the blog domain name-- http://www.pinkcricut.com/ .  So, that will be what you can type in from now to find me!! Of course, I will not leave you hanging--if you have bookmarked me already, my old site will re-direct you. 

I have also started posting some of my work on http://www.scrapbook.com/ tonight.  So, as you can see, I have been very busy :).  I know there are a million things I want to do to this new website, but I have to stop for tonight!

But, I will let you in on a little secret!  I am hoping as soon as my voice stops sounding so froggy, I will try my hand at my very first video blog.  :)

Note the "walls." :)  It does not allow the possibility to hang anything, but one day I will have drywall...

I, with the help of a scrappy friend, improvised by hanging ribbon from the ceiling from hooks- and then lacing ribbon onto that ribbon.

So, I think that my 4 year old daughter is fully inducted into the crafting world.  I just haven't decided if I should be proud--or scared!

She loves to scrapbook with me, and has her own little table in my scraproom- She has her own box of pictures, papers, embellishments etc.  She has her own little cuttlekids scissors and her own purple cows paper trimmer.  Don't get too excited-most of these things were hand-me-downs as others graduated in their scrapbooking supplies. She does not have her own cricut, or cuttlebug--but she wants both.  (uh-oh)

While we were at Target the other day, she was a couple steps ahead of me, and stops suddenly, with a gasp.  I look over to see what is wrong...and she says..."OH. MY. GOSH."  "It's. a. Hannah. Montana. Gypsy."


Oh, how I love my gypsy daughter.  :)
