Craft Store Galore

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Jan 18, 2009

. . . I couldn’t believe the prices of all the different things I had been dreaming of owning one day. The store we went to, which shall remain nameless, was one of my favorite spots years ago because they had great prices and the clearances were out of this world. I was deeply disappointed when I visited there last night. It’s been about five or six years since I’ve been into that particular store because it used to be quite a distance from us, but they’ve recently opened another closer to where we live. Not that I’ll be back in there anytime soon, mind you.

I did manage to find a few treasures:

• Walnut in spray (which I managed to get for free with a coupon, but I’m still not quite sure how that happened)
• Some mini-alpha stamps
• A black in pad (mine finally dried out after eleven years of use!)
• Some postage themed stickers (I wanted some postage theme stamps, but I almost croaked when I saw the prices on them)
• A vile of glitter (I was going to choose mica or diamond dust, but again, nearly croaked at he price)

There are two mail-order catalogs containing all of the delights I wish to partake, so I’ll bed using them as a means of supply searching and birthday indulging from now on. I think that’s what I’ll do today because my fiancé kept saying, “this is ALL you want for your birthday?” I explained the pricing issues and he couldn’t wrap his mind around this issue, either. It’s strange how these catalogs can be SO much cheaper than walking through the stores. What an eye-opener!
