Well nothing big going on over here in this neck of the woods. I think my highlight of this past week has been a tag sale find I made this past Saturday, go me. Ok, well you see I usually gravitate to the book area first, I have a thing for them. I'm checking out whats on top of the table and grabbing a few things here and there, a couple of good biographies of famous women that are good for young girls to read(I'm thinking about the little girl I take care of, I'm all about the reading and how important it is) So all in all it was a good find, I was a bit disappointed at first, nothing else eye catching. Then I realize there are boxes under the table kind of hidden out of sight, and what do I find?? (Ok this is a big deal to me by the way) The entire Lemony Snicket series(hardcover) and the entire Narnia series!!!!!!!!!! Jackpot, and for all of these books I paid a whopping $12 dollars!!!! These were all in good condition, and the Lemony Snicket series goes for around $10 a piece and the Narnia series about $7 so I saved around $100 or so bucks. That was my grand find and most prized possession of the week:)
I just finished reading "A Beautiful Boy" by David Sheff. Its a pretty heavy read(not literally, emotionally) Its a memoir of a father and the story of his son's drug addiction. I found it to be a good read, eye opening, sad, disturbing, a whole bunch of emotions rolled into one. I am now onto his son's own memoir called "Tweak" its of course about his drug addiction, his point of view, the other end.
I received a very nice prize package just yesterday from my contest win over at ScrapScene. I won a very cool stamp set from Danelle Johnson, and it happened to be a stamp set that I have been contemplating buying, a journaling set, so I'm excited to use that.
I haven't made any layouts since my last one, the "This is my face" one. I have been frustrated about a few things and I guess it put me in a mood of sorts, one that does not include creating things. I do have an idea floating in my head at the moment, and its not of my norm sort of thing. I also have to create my layout for Gettin Sketchy and this months challenge. You should come over and participate as well, it will be fun and you can win a very cool prize:)
I am really loving this girls art! I came across her videos over on Youtube.................a huge addiction of mine every night. She is just so interesting, and bubbly, and fun to watch, and her art is so whimsical and beautiful to boot.
So yeah, that's pretty much it for now. Um, my not so very interesting entry for today:)
Oh well, they cant all be fantastic and interesting right?
