Oh how I love to shop for my craft supplies. It is so relaxing whether shopping online or in the physical store itself. Saturday morning, the Green Buggie (Cyber Green 2000 New Beetle) was revved and roaring to roll on down to the Michaels store. Really wish it was closer than 35 minutes away but hey that’s what one gets when living rural. I would rather have the drive than all the hassle of city life. So, slipping Green Buggie into a parking spot, let the adventure begin!
Immediately after walking through the doors, I am like a kid in a candy shop. Time no longer exists only the beautiful colorful paints, sparkling glitters, paint brushes, colored pencils and all the items exploding with potential engulf my mind. Lets try this new brand or lets try this new process. The types of paints are innumerable and I love it. Every shade imaginable is present. A huge rainbow beckoning to be utilized. Oh my, new porcelain items to paint. Hooray, these are hard to find if not online. Plaster Easter eggs and lambs not to mention the wooden items to try out. A wooden pirate ship. Now how cool is that.
Don’t forget the Clearance section. That would be dreadful. There I find a very cool 1,000 piece puzzle of all the cereals I used to eat growing up at a kids, Frosted Flakes, Sugar Pops, Cocoa Krispies. Boomers, you remember the time when ‘sugar‘ was not an ugly thing. Oh and look, there were all sorts of wooden letters to paint and decorate.
Before you know it, my carriage is filled with all sorts of magical potential. Alas, I must mosey on, as I have been in here 3 hours. LOL. Shopping alone is wonderful. No one cares how long it takes me in just that one store. Told you I go into a time warp.
Back to reality now but well satisfied. Jumping back into the Green Buggie and headed home. Quite a few treasures were captured today. They are safely stashed in my Craft Room for my shear delight of painting them. No other shopping gives me this such a grand time. In fact I very much dislike other types of shopping. The faster I get grocery shopping done the happier. Trying on sizes for clothing shopping is just the pits. Drop me off a the craft store any time at all.
