I went to Target yesterday to look at Halloween decorations. I have every decoration one could possibly want, but each year new items abound and I needed to see what was out there. No trip to Target would be complete without spending 20 minutes in the Dollar Spot so I decided to get that out [...]

May 26, 2007

I just returned from what was supposed to be a fifteen minute–at the most!–jaunt to Jo-Ann’s Fabrics. You know the drill. An hour and a half later… Look at the wunnerful things I bought, though!
