Thursday Night At The Hobby Lobby...

After last week's near-death experience during yet another routine trip to Hobby Lobby, I didn't know how long it would take me to gather up enough courage to make another trip.  

Turns out, it took a week!

Actually, I've just been either busy or not feeling well (damn allergies) until tonight.   I've been meaning to go since about Monday- I needed to pick up a few things and check out their restocking progress.  Because someone has to keep up with it!

Saw these kick-ass papers:


Aren't those nice?  They're the cheapo-licensed to HobLobs by My Mind's Eye versions- so very flimsy, but still- don't they look great?!   I love them so much I bought two of each when the HobLob's paper wasn't even on sale!  But now that I've seen these (and a few others) they best put this crap on the five fer  a dollah special OR ELSE.

Hmmm.  What else did I pick up?  Not much, because PAYDAY FRIDAY is TOMORROW, not tonite- so Kory was on a bit of a budget.  I did grab a pack of Spellbinders Lacey Nested Pennants (thank you forty off coupon) and one of the K&CO 'Ephemera Packs.'  I love K&CO's ephemera packs.  They rock! They're cheap and FULL of cool little pieces.  Can't recommend them enough.  Especially love the vintage travel themed pack that I picked up at da Wal-Marks, of all places.  

So why did I get the Lacey Nested Pennants dies?  I thought they'd add a nice accent to the Spring pennants I'm making for a swap.  The spring pennants I'm making for a swap that's due on Saturday and I've put off for WEEKS.  I'm a procrastinator and I hate myself for it...  I might be the world's worst procrastinator.  I swore all day- all I need is a quick trip to HobLobs, see something to inspire me- I'd rush home and - dammit.  I'm not gonna do anything tonight.

  3. Ha, I'll fight you for the title of top procrastinator. It's my worst trait too. I know I work best when I have a deadline to keep because I always meet them. It's just that I always leave it to the very last minute. I WAS that kid who did his homework on the bus to school in the morning lol. And I love your choice of papers there Kory. I didn't realise MME did a cheap range, they're not sold over here. I've seen cheaper ranges of K&Co paper, which are tissue thin, so I think I know the kind of thing it must be. It's not to be knocked, as it's just as good on certain projects as the pricier versions. If you're sticking it onto a background of thicker card, it makes no difference, for instance. Love the neutral colours in the two you are holding. Think I would have fought you for them if I was there lol. Hope you start feeling better by the weekend. Looking forward to see what you purchase, come payday :) Px
