Scrappy Adventure. Day 2

I'm like a kid at Christmas ;)
I had all my new crafty supplies surrounding me, so Sharon took a photo.
Is it sad that this makes me so happy ;)
Now don't look at those bags on the floor ;)
Those are home decorating supplies…and a couple of packages of cream horns ;)
One of the things we wanted to do on this trip was to check out Crafts Direct.
We have never been here, but I have read a some good things about it on 2peas.
It was about 1.5 hours from Hinckley, but so worth the drive :)
What I also loved about it (besides all the creative goodies inside) was the front of the building.
It looks like 7 adorable stores, where they are all one store once you enter the front doors :)
They had a lot of paper…and a lot of 6x6 paper pads.
The majority of these were under $4.00 each.
Don't judge me….I have a 6x6 addiction, but I don't have a problem ;)
I was so excited to see that they not only carried the Wink of Stella pens, but they also had clear :)
I am not an internet shopper, so have been waiting for the scrapbook stores, that I visit while on our trips, to have them. Every time I am here they are always sold out.
So excited to try them. 
I picked up a clear and a red. 
I found some more washi tape…again, no judging ;)
Also found some fun stamps :)
The cute witchy one to the top, I had seen at Pine City Scrapbookers yesterday, but didn't get it. 
Was going to get it tomorrow (as Sharon and I are going back there) but with my luck it would have been gone. 

On our way back from Crafts Direct, we stopped off at Jo-Anns.
I want to play around with chalk ink, so picked up a few colours.
I also grabbed this cool 3D sticker…thought I might do a zombie layout of when Ashley did some photography of them acting out Night of the Living Dead ;)
I did a mini album of that photo shoot, but not any scrapbook pages.
Also found me some peeps ;)
How long did it take me to finish off the whole package….weeellllll, under the time it took us to get back to the hotel.
Don't worry I didn't eat them all myself, Sharon got 1/2 of one ;)
Here is my haul from today :)
Here is Sharon's…such a light weight, lol 
A kid on Christmas morning ;)
I think its a good thing that we don't live near these stores ;)


















Onto My Day:
Besides crafty shopping, we went to the casino for supper.
Then Sharon wanted to gamble…it was all too much for me to lose my $3.00, so I walked around the casino to get in some steps.
Until I realized that I probably looks suspicious walking around the casino, so found Sharon at a machine.
We enjoyed another hot tub tonight.
Tomorrow we are planning another trip to Pine City…oh yah, I forgot to share those goodies with you from yesterday. I will do that tomorrow.
We are also planning to do a bit of colouring.

Proud Tuesday.
I am proud that I still have some money left over to shop with tomorrow ;)
I am proud that I still got over 10,000 steps, considering it seems like I haven't walked much.

I hope you all had a very Creative Tuesday :)
I can't wait to play with all my goodies.
I didn't even bring a trimmer or adhesive with me…..and I call myself a crafter, teehee.

  12. You got so many awesome goodies!

    I love that first shot of your with all your new supplies! It looks like you are really enjoying your trip!

    That store is pretty cool. What an interesting way to have the outside. I've never seen that before, and it would definitely make the store catch my eye if I was walking or driving by.
