Kids gone, Abilene quick stop, and PAPER

DH doesn't have 2 weeks of time off available for a family trip to NM, but we did work it out for the kids to go out there for 2 weeks. We met my sis and BIL on Saturday in Abilene (the halfway point) and they took the kids on to NM. It was a very TIRING trip for DH & I, going on 4 or 5 hours of sleep to get us home on Saturday, but I know the kids are safe and having a grand time with Nana & Papa.

By the way, Kenda MADE me buy paper on Thursday. LOL I had to go to Hobby Lobby to pick up some DMC floss for Mom (she can't get it out there) so Kenda and I met. We browsed through the paper stacks, since they were 50% off. She made me buy paper! I was really trying to resist, really I was. (You believing this yet? LOL) But I left Hobby Lobby with Mom's DMC floss, a DCWV glittered All Dressed Up stack, and a Recipe Scrapbook kit. I've been wanting to move my family cookbook that Mom printed off for us kids, over to a recipe scrapbook since there's some stories with some of the recipes. I liked the cooking themed line that Wal Mart was carrying, but I'm not finding it there now. I had never seen a recipe scrapbook kit, and I had a 40% off coupon, so I got it. It's for 8 1/2 x 11, which is what I wanted, has the dividers, and wide 3 ring binder. It came with paper, 6 top loading page protectors, 6 side-loading (divided) page protectors, die cuts,

5 x 7 recipe cards, letter stickers, and an idea booklet. I'm excited about this! I can't wait to get started on it.

While in Abilene, DH and I found the scrapbook store. :-) It's the same one cowchipper went to for the crop, and the gal knew who April was. It's a small store, and the selection is small, but she's very friendly and helpful. Even with the small selection, she's got a nice variety of styles of paper and themes. DH stumbled on some paper, pointed it out to me, and said "You need 2 of all of these." What was I to do? I wouldn't want to dissappoint my hubby. LOL This is the paper:

I got two of each of the 4 papers. They're going to be soooooo much fun! The only question is, which subject to use first....DS, DD, or the nephew. LOL I also bought one of the Cropper Hopper organizer kits. It has the same plastic box that I had been using for the Embellishment Box round robin swap, so you know what that means. :-)

It's terrible having all these paper enablers. LOL I may have to get several more pages of the code enforcement paper, though. It's too cute!

LOL Great minds think alike! I'm thinking of finding some more of it. Maybe I'll get lucky and one of the LSS's here will have it.

Hi Deb, sounds like fun. As for the scrapbooking cooking line that wal mart had, I carry it. It's called cookbookin.

If you see anything you want there, just let me know, I've got some of it on the rack in my kitchen! Aren't you glad I don't cook, lol? There is no grease or smoke smell on anything, haha!

I hope you enjoy scrapping some of that paper you got. Busted, eh? Cute!

As for Kenda, she was always and will always be an enabler, LOL! Way to go Kenda!!!

Now I know where I can find it, thanks MC! I'll definately keep that in mind. I'm going to see how far the paper, die cuts, etc that came in the kit go before I get more.

LOL At least it's staying clean in your kitchen. :-) Mine probably won't, thank goodness for page protectors. LOL
