I had to do a little shopping while I was away, and I thought I would post a couple of pictures to share my haul. That Minc foil in the top photo was my best find, $5 a roll! I don't even know where to get it here and it's $25 each on Amazon.ca.
Art supplies and craft supplies are my addiction. It doesn't take much to make me happy or keep me entertained. Give me a new set of stamps and it makes me very happy, add matching dies and I am in heaven! A tube of paint or a new jar of medium and I am totally inspired!
Drop me off at Michaels and I am entertained for a good couple of hours,. I am like a kid in a candy store when in Curry's or DeSerres. I tell myself that since I don't drink or smoke, and I only shop for a good deal, it's okay, but the truth is, it's getting pretty crowded downstairs. I know many of you will never understand how a new set of mini distress inks can bring such joy, but I know there are also many of you who will get it. I will never understand why someone would want to spend 4 hours walking around a golf course when they could be painting or making a new tag, so I guess it's all perspective.
As soon as they open up an Art supply Anonymous in my area, I promise I will attend.
Oh Kim, we must be sisters from another mother! I belong to a Facebook group called art supply junkie unite. People like you and I post our hauls and treasures. Also our questions, should I buy this or that, what do you do with this? Etc. See if you can request to be a member. It's a closed group but I think you can get added w permission.

ReplyDeleteI understand the joy of art supplies. I can just feel joy looking at my stamps. And the excitement I feel when I have the supplies to make a creative vision come alive is an awesome feeling.
