Made it home safe and sound with some change to spare :)

We made it home safe and sound :)
Hubby and Ashley were so happy to see us, and we them :)
My SIL, Sharon is the Tetris Master. She fit all this in the back of my jeep. Under all this I have a metal storage cart.
 My camera is working again, so I took some photo's to share my goodies with you.
I purchased these from that, out of the way, Scrap booking store.
 I found these papers at Walmart. I love that they are only $5.00 a paper pack. Oh ya I found the real Georgia Pacific card stock too, lol.
 I found these composition note books for .40cents.  I am going to put together a Smash book for my girls. I am hoping that they use it when we go to Montana next month. I saw a video from Stacy .
I won an original Smash book :) I haven't received it yet, but am so excited to see it.
 These were my Joann's purchases. Can't wait to try that rolled flower punch.
 I love quilting stores. They just feel so cozy, I could spend all day in one. I went into 2 of them on our way home.
Here are a few patterns I hope to complete...OK I hope to start by the end of the year :)
 This is the storage card that was under all the goodies in my jeep :)
When I saw this, I told Sharon that this would be perfect for my Cuttlebug and all the dies and folders I have.
We asked if they had it un-assembled. But nope.
Sharon said if you really want it, I will make it fit. And she did!!!!
Unfortunately she couldn't make the 4.5 ft wired dress form fit in the jeep :(
 Now that I picked up my Copics from over the border, they are all happy together, looking all pretty :)
I want them all. Do I need them all? Nope, but I want to fill in my charts in my Copic Journal, teehee.
Now that I have all my goodies home, I want to create my butt off.
But I have so much work to catch up on, I'll be busy all week. Plus we have a few birthday's to celebrate this week. Starting with Ashley's tomorrow :)

Thankful Thursday:
That I am lucky to be able to go on a girls trip with my daughters and Sharon.
That I am able to purchase supplies, that I so enjoy playing with.
That I was missed while I was away.
For the Happy Mail I received while I was gone.
For Pea loving my mini album I sent here. I will post that tomorrow :)

What are you Thankful for?

Tracy

  1. Glad you are home safe and sound and it looks like you had a great shopping adventure south.
    Your SIL is an amazing packer getting all that packed in the back.
    Happy Birthday to Ashley tomorrow--it is Kirsten's hubbies birthday too. I am baby sitting the kids for the evening tomorrow so they can go out for the evening. They don't get a chance to do that too often.
    I can hardly wait to see what you create with all those pretty Copics.
    Will I get to see you when You visit MT next month?? I hope so.

  9. You sure did find tons of amazing stuff!! I sure wish OUR JoAnne's had cool punches like the ones you found! I didn't even know there was a flower making punch like that! :0 And I hadn't seen the other two you picked up either.

    I sure can't wait to see what good stuff you make with your haul! And I can't wait to see the mini you made for PEA too! It's gotta be amazing, for sure!

I don't have a single ONE yet!! (0; Someday! Hope you're keeping cool in this heat, and having a great day! ~tina

  17. Glad you made it home safely. Sharon has some mad packing skills for sure.

    Oh, and sometimes it's a fine line between 'need' and 'want'...for me, that line often gets very blurry! hahaha.

  20. Look at all that stuff in the back of the jeep. Oh my! What a fantastic haul. I can't believe the amount of copics from your first picture, not too long ago I might add, to now. I'm halfway through to a complete collection of copics so I'm not that far behind.

    Oh and I'm thankful that cherries are in season because they are my favorite and I have barreled through about 3 lbs in 2 days and only have 2lbs more to go.
