Creative travels day 2

I have lots to share with you today.
So let's start from the beginning. 
Heather didn't like her yogurt that her and Kristy picked out for breakfast. So being the caring mom that I am. I sacrificed my healthy muffin to give to her and I had to eat the ice cream bar. You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
We were on the road by 7:03 am. 
Yes my friends we were late to Wayne's standards. And to make matters worse I-35 was closed due to roadwork, Lola 2 (our GPS) had to keep recalculating, so we were taken down back roads to get back onto the interstate. 
Oh yeah and there's a bit of a rattle in the back of the jeep, sounds like a Wibur adventure to me.

First stop Cabala's. 
While Wayne shopped the girls played checkers and I wandered.
I did pick up a new duffle bag for me. 
Next stop was Scrapbookers Too 😃
I found a few goodies. 
Pretty good eh? No paper.
But don't get to excited the shopping trip has just begun.
I picked up some prima doll stamps, washi tape and some fun flair 😀
We were all pretty hungry by now, so off to the mall. Mall of America that is.
I can't believe it was Wayne's first time having a crepe from the crepe stand. 
Maybe not the healthiest lunch, but it was delish ;)
Can you believe that Scrapfest was going on and I didn't know about it until the day we left home. Bad scrapbooker aren't I 
I think I was the only person at Archivers that wasn't here for Scrapfest. 
Ohhh, you want to see what I bought at Archivers?
Okay here it is. 
See still no paper...
Tricked ya, lol. 
I was also happy that I got to watch the always creative Tim Holtz do a demo. It is so inspiring to watch him create. 
He also demonstrated his app to me as I had asked about it. 
Funny to watch the women sneaking his finished tags. I have to say I wanted one as well... But he signed one for me last year and I didn't want to be greedy. 
After MOA, which was all day, we went to Perkins for dinner.
I had a small soup and half a sandwich no photos. But honestly it was the most healthy thing I ate all weekend. I again had water.

Then we dropped the girls off at Burnsville mall. Then Wayne took me to Joann's and the other archivers.
I was looking for Tim's stencils, but no one had them. But did get a few things from Joann's. 
That is all from my creative shopping. 
But tomorrow is Pine City Scrapbooking on our way home.

Day #21
"Colour Coded"
I really don't have a colour code system as my girls are all (more or less) adults and take care of their own lives.
So what I did for this challenge was share my month page from July. I try to colour coordinate for that month. For example July 1st is Canada day, so I used our colours red and white for that month. 
I hope you all had a very creative Saturday. I am so looking forward to creating when I get home.
Maybe start on Septembers tag

    1. That is so sweet of you Jodie.
      But I am sure the shipping will cost more then the actual stencils, lol.
      I will get them eventually, plus I am sure I can find something similar in my stash.
      But thank you so much for the offer :)
