[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 92781, member: 3647"] I just had the best morning! I dropped off Tink at school. I had plans immediately afterwards to drive out to Streamwood to pick up a couple items that a lady was selling on Craigslist. It's about a 1/2 drive. I took that drive. Got my stuff. A few pretty floating shelves for Tink's room. A ceramic housing for a votive candle, shaped like a huge bunch of grapes (my whole kitchen is grapes). Stopped at the store, returned the grape curtains and rods that don't fit my window (my kitchen window is HUGE; I can't find cafe curtains to fit it anywhere. Sob.) and picked up 2 cheapie side tables to use as nightstands (2 for 19.99!!). THEN I went to Michaels (craft store) because last night, Tink was ready to take down all the Halloween decorations and put up the Christmas ones. She's a mess. Anyways, I know she will be bugging me to start doing Chritsmas crafts soon, so I thought I would stock up. I was immediately assaulted by very loud Christmas music and the overwhelming fragrance of cinnamon upon entering the store. I thought, good thing I do not have Tink with me. The sensory overload would have put her in a coma. I got past the loud, stinky part of the store and went about my shopping. I found some great bargains. Lots of easy ornaments to make. I also bought a plain wreath and a bunch of pretty, glittery picks with purple and silver snowflakes, leaves, berries, etc. for me to decorate my own wreath. I know, big deal, right? This is SO huge for me. I have not ventured out of my house like this in over 6 months. I have not spent time in a store (except breezing through the grocery) in close to a year. I have NEVER attempted a craft of that magnatude. This move has done WONDERS for me... [/QUOTE]
