Hob Lob Envy

I admit.  I've got Hobby Lobby envy, and to cure it i ran to Joan's Fabrics at lunch.  I had no clear agenda except clearance.  If it wasn't at least 70% off, i thumbed my nose at it. After making my way around the perimeter i went to the mega clearance aisle and proceeded to scoop up every vinyl related product that caught my fancy.  I have never used vinyl, but for the clearance prices they were, i was willing and eager to try them.

I really, really wanted to use the individual letters, but i blanked on what word to make and for where.  I thought, laundry/craft area that will one day (hopefully) be what i envision in my head.  So i ransacked and made a huge mess   calmly and patiently went through about 7 bins and got nothing.  I had all but my C-i thought i'd make the word CRAFT but then i found a Y, and thought i'll make CRAFTY.  There was a K, for KRAFTY, but i thought well, that's pretty desperate, plus it would make me hungry all the time for mac and cheese.  mmm, mac and cheese.

where were we?  a yes, behold my variety of vinyl.

Those smaller stickers were marked as .50, but they rang up .25!  I thought those records would look great for our retro diner basement, so i bought a ton.  Since those letters didn't work out for me, this tube holds the whole alphabet, so ha!

"i love mew." too cute, and they too rang up half off, so they were 1.97.  I'm going to put it where Sunday's food bowl is so she can know how much i lahhhhhve her.    Ok, so i didn't get that much (there really wasn't much that struck my fancy) but i feel good.  My jealousy has somewhat dissipated, at least til someone blogs about their latest and greatest find!
