Happy Birthday To Me

Hi everyone!

With my birthday officially over, I wanted to give you a rundown of the day.

For some reason, I could not sleep last night.  It wasn't that I was excited for my birthday, because I wasn't doing anything special, per se, but I just had a hard time falling asleep.  So, finally around 5:30 a.m. I was able to get some shut eye.  I woke up around 1 p.m. (rough!) and got ready for lunch.  I treated myself to TGI Fridays and dined alone.  I was able to text a friend throughout the time so I did have a dining companion, if you think of it.  From there, it was time for shopping.

I headed to a nearby city where there was a bigger Michaels and some other crafty stores.  I have NO idea why I haven't gone to this Michael's before.  It's about 20 minutes away, as the other one is about 15 minutes away.  It is twice the size of the Michael's I usually go to and has MUCH nicer employees.  Guess I will be going to this new one more often.  Anyway, I bought out the whole store.  Well, not really, but I wanted to!

Next it was on to AC Moore and Hobby Lobby.  I had more luck in Hobby Lobby than I did in AC Moore, since I didn't purchase anything from there.  Hobby Lobby had some great deals that I couldn't pass up so those went in the basket, then my car, then my apartment.  Haha.

When I got home, I spoke with a friend on the phone for a couple hours, called my sister and spoke to her, my brother in law and my nephews, then recorded the video below.  After that was recorded, I ordered dinner from one of my new favorite restaurants and picked it up.  When I got home I realized they made it wrong and was unable to eat it so that was not the best, but all is well.  :)

I also got a chance to make my grandma a card which will be coming in a post tomorrow.  For now, enjoy my shopping haul.  Oh, and I did give a shout out to Melody Lane in the video, a couple of times.

Enjoy the hauls!!  Honestly, there is still more to come, but then that's it, for a month.  Hahaha!


Craft on,
Ian

    1. That would be awesome, Melody! Hahaha. Or if we owned a craft store we could let our friends in at night and have a shopping spree. I have always wanted to do something that was timed. LIke you have 5 minutes to run around and get as much as you can in your cart for free. GO! That would be awesome!

  5. Great Birthday Haul - wow that cutting mat is fab. I'm sure if we all had lived closer we could have all met you at TGIs. I haven't been there for years.

    Enjoy crafting with your new bits and pieces.
