Do you guys know about the Goodwill 50% off day each month? Here in my hood, it happens the first Saturday of every month. You will see me, hubby in tow, lined up and waiting for the store to open. I leave with carts of things, usually wooden, that I plan to craft upon eventually.

More Lisa Pavelka texture stamps. And her border mold, now that I think of it. I am pretty wordless today. Had my stepson and his girlfriend over last night for a delightful evening that ended with a marshmallow shake. Yum. Got up this early in an attempt to beat the heat for today’s 7 miler.
