(Ironic title given the previous blog post, I know, but it got your attention.)I'm dragging their butts to craft stores! Mwa,ha,ha....
I plan on hitting Hobby Lobby first. I've been wanting to check them out, but I usually don't think of it until Sundays, the day they are closed. I haven't really shopped a Hobby Lobby before and there's a brand new store near us.
Next on the list is the serious craft store, where most likely I will drop my serious cash. Its a 30 minute drive, but I love shopping the Nasco factory outlet store in Fort Atkinson. They give a homeschooling discount too! They have two outlets within one block and if you don't see what you want in the store, they will hand pick your order from their warehouse. I love Nasco! We usually make an event of it and grab lunch out.
I need this craft store shopping pick me up after yesterday's snowfall. Its so depressing to look at my swing and realize its going to be out of commission for even longer. Look at my sad flower boxes too. :( The snow should melt this weekend, but then it will be rainy.
Last night I got another Christmas Cactus flower from a nice homeschooling family that comes to the pool for lessons. Isn't it beautiful! I walked in the door last night and DH's first words were, "Who gave you that!" Ahhh...jealousy. Hmmm... I wonder if more blooms will be in my future? I told him it was from a homeschooling family. They are really great kids and really great swimmers. I think in a few years they will be ready to become teachers themselves and they'll be my co-workers!
DS12 has a sleepover tonight. :( My gut reaction of course was- ITS FAMILY FUN NIGHT- but I have to let him go. He's growing up. So it will be DH, me and baby (DS9) makes 3. We'll watch the Badgers win and eat finger food for supper. For some odd reason, DH is craving Tator Tots. I don't think I've had these since I was a kid.
I'm sure after the victory we'll watch Corneil and Bernie cartoons. DS9 got several DVDs in his Easter basket. (Gotta love shopping Preplayed for used DVDs!) Hopefully tonight I'll be carving away at stamps too.
Have a great weekend! Peace and blessings!

I love hobby stores and can spend too much if I'm not careful. I don't live close to any hobby stores anymore (which is very limiting), but love HL and Michaels. I've not heard of Nasco.
Before you go to Hobby Lobby, go online and print off their coupon if they have one. :)
I hope you have fun during Family Night! :)
I don't have either of those near me. I kind of got crafted out when my friend and I did craft shows. After a while it was no longer fun. Hope your shopping was productive and that you had a fun day.
I can see where you'd get crafted out if you did crafts shows. Maybe one day the desire on a small scale will come back to you. :)
Have fun crafting! And, have fun on your family fun night (even if it's minus one). Have a great weekend!
I would love to go Craft Shopping, but up here we don't have any stores. The closest is a Michels store in Green Bay which is about an hour drive from us. But Nasco sounds like a dream. Have fun
We got a Michaels near us last year. I like AC Moore craft store. We have to drive 1 hour to get to it. I've heard good things about Hobby Lobby but there aren't any near us. Have a great time craft store shopping.
