Was able to do one of my favorite things this weekend! You guessed it hobby lobby! Now this was just a simple trip to get some scrap book paper , to make sidney a family poster for her new class! Yes she started a new class room this week. (more to come on that later) But you know as my husband knows....I cant walk in there to get one thing....I needs to browse. Would I have loved to do it with out a whiny two year old, and penny pinching husband...YES!! But no such luck. Let me say that place is just good......they had me wanting to spend four hundred and forty seven dollars before I even entered the store! This was in the section where you enter...before you enter! They had the most beautiful xmas tree! It spoke to me....it was nine feet tall....and it was skinny but still full.. Since Chris and I have been married we have been through a lot of trees. Our house in its measly 1900 sq feet was just not meant for a big tree...which is what we both love. Our current tree is pretty big and full and beautiful...but the top of it, where the tree top er is..broke. So I mentioned months ago I wanted a new one this year. I'm not a big fan of skinny trees...but it was just thick and full and had different types of greenery on it, pines cones. I was in LOVE! It would give us soooo much more room in our house....forgot to take a pic :( I will be back to visit it I'm sure. Hubby was not to happy. Now let me clarify...I love to shop, but I love to get good deals save money...so yes this price was a bit CRAZY!! But I'm hoping if I wait it out, I can get it on sale...and hunt for a 40% coupon. I did manage to walk out of there with two cute little pumpkins half off...love them! I figured fall is close enough so I will let them sit out.

I'm not a big sun flower girl, but this is my fav color!

Sidney's poster for her new class room. I love to scrap book. I think it turned out cute.

The next pics.... is what I got on a shopping trip to hobby lobby couple of weeks ago(man I'm there a lot!!?) Now if you don't know like I know...because I have an addiction problem when it comes to buying xmas stuff. Hobby Lobby and most places DO NOT put xmas stuff on sale(the stuff you want that is) hardly ever...unless its after xmas. So you can imagine my shear excitement/joy/mild giddy attack when I saw a 40% off sign under all the ornaments!! I was so happy! My xmas theme for a couple of years has been candy land/ginger bread..kinda thing. Now when I get up to the cash register...the lady looks at my purchase and says: "you are so lucky!!" "Uh," I say. I'm never lucky.....please explain? The lady says to me..somebody put these on sale when they should not have been, The manager just walked up to her and told her only give 40% off for the next hour because someone missed marked them! SCORE, I was lucky! To bad that could not have happened this weekend with my tree!!!

Love these!

Little country cookie cutters...too cute!

Yummy!

My Mother and Sister n law usually will get me some ornaments after x-mas...they got these at cracker barrel...which looks like I need to go there!
