I Love Christmas Sales

Today I hit Joann's during my lunch break and I stocked up on some fabulous sale items, gorge ribbons including the ribbon to finally finish my Halloween wreath*, and some beautiful fabric.

I'm seriously counting the minutes till Friday when I'll actually be able to go outside during the day and spray paint. I don't think anyone has ever been this excited to do something so simple.

In in even more SHOCKING news... I finished another craft tonight. Two in one week? What is happening to me? I'll post pictures tomorrow when I actually wear it.

But I'm off to bed early, I'm exhausted.


*Halloween wreath story... I came up with this amazing wreath idea and almost completed it. And then I ran out of ribbon. And it wasn't restocked until now, so I've had a 90% finished wreath sitting on my desk for two months. I'm finally going to finish it tomorrow :)

An Awesome Evening of Shopping

Added to list of things I'm going to miss about Indy: shopping and hibachi with Carol. Not sure how I'm going to function without her once I'm in Jax. I assume large cell phone bills from texting and calling are in my future.

One of my favorite things about shopping with Carol is that she has an amazing eye for deals. That girl can find the most adorable stuff at Kohl's and Old Navy and then mix it with high end labels. We have pretty different taste in clothing (her- bright prints and color, me - neutrals/ east coast preppy) but we always agree on shoes and handbags. Anyways at H&M, Carol found me the most adorable black dress for $5!!!! on the sale rack. Love love love this girl :)

Also, Lands End Canvas had some awesome items, but the shirts aren't long enough for me and they run out of sizes quickly. The sales girl mentioned they've only been around since Nov. 09 and that they are still growing. I'm excited to see if they work that out in the future. I did, however, find some fab skirts for work that I can't wait to rock.
