Please stop me someone.....
.....before I hurt myself in the creative rush. Let me explain further...I found two old scrapbooking magazines among some books on the shelflast night, and looking through them found the adress of a great shop nearby that stocks, papers, scrapbooking stuff, embellishments and so on.
Could'nt wait to get up this morning and make a beeline for the shop -
Starfish Lane
I was a woman on a mission, and I wasn't disappointed. Oh, the fun I had wandering around, looking and touching, dreaming, and planning fantasy layouts in my head. The store also runs classes which I think would probably be great for a 'scrappy' novice like me. What did I buy? oh yes...I managed to tear myself away before too much damage was done to my credit card, and bought a set of art papers - its called the 'inspiration pack' ( I'll let you know if it did, what it promises to do)that was $9.50, and a few transparency papers for my personal journal. I like to copy and paste nice quotes from the internet and print them onto the clear papers. They look great as overlays or paste alones. Then it was over to do the grocery (yawn) shopping and home. I also bought some runes.
I saw them advertised in a bookstore, and they were on special. I've been curious about these for a long time, and now that they were being sold at a special price - I could'nt resist the bargain. The 25 runes come with their own hessian storage bag, which by theway smells awful - I had to just about hold my nose when doing my 'first' reading. I'm not sure I've interpreted the meanings of the reading correctly, as the answers bore little connection to the question I had asked. I suppose practise makes perfect?
