Clothes shoppping...BOO!, Bargains...HOORAY!

I want to start by saying that I hate shopping for clothes FOR ME. I would shop for anyone else but as far as for me, I hate it. I have a hard time finding things that fit on someone who's figure is "short round" with no real junk in the trunk as they say. All that being said sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get stuff. Mostly because I have ruined alot of my clothes with paint and glue and...whatever else is messy. If I must buy clothes I hate spending very much money on them but don't want to look crappy. A dilemna isn't it? This is why I love getting good stuff on clearance. I told you I went shopping on Monday and here is what I got:


4 tops at Old Navy for a total of $9.38
I had to get this cute bag. I thought I would paint it.

2 pairs of Land's End jeans (that are not all saggy in the ass). Total cost $20 regularly $39.50 a pair!

and last but not least 3 pairs of Land's End shoes,which I love because they are comfortable and supportive but don't look like my 94 year old gramma should be wearing them, for a total of $25.45( 2 pairs regular price of $39.50,one pair regularly $34.50)

Now how's that for bargain shopping?

Tomorrow I will tell you all about the "field trip" I went on today with my dear friend Susan.

Winners and Losers

Congratulations to Viki and Jeane for being the 2 winners of some little felt hearts. Viki please send me you snail mail address and Jeane your hearts go out in tomorrow's mail! Thank you to everyone who stopped by my blog and left a comment,hey thanks even if you just stopped by and took a peek. Fifty posts! Can you believe it? I'm still not sure what direction I am going in with this blog because sometimes I want to rant and then I restrain myself from posting,sticking to the colorful, pretty stuff. Which is all well and fine but only a part of who I am. Who I am is what I am working on,trying to discover. Do we ever really know?
As you may know I am being treated for severe clinical depression and part of that treatment includes therapy. I think my doctor is great and she pushes me,ehich I need. Anyway, I have come to the realization that alot of my negative feelings and behaivors are related to my feeling betrayed by my physical body. Has anyone else ever had this feeling? How doyou get over, around,through it? I think I may have a lot of suppressed anger about it. It sucks but I keep on trying. What else can I do?
So much for my bitchin'. I am going out in a little while (maybe a little shopping?) and will post more when I get home. I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's being with those you love and/or doing what you love.

Sock It To Me...

Pictures for my next mini book project-kind of a self portrait. I may also use some to do altered photos.

And don't forget about the contest mentioned here. I have enough hearts to send some to #15 as well if we get there by Monday so tell your friends to come on over and visit!

Sticky Stuff...again

I found this cute tape at M's in the American Girl kids section.

Also at M's-printed packing tape! There were 7 different designs so I had to get them all since they were only $1 a roll!!!

I am keeping the contest open until Monday. For details see yesterday's post.

More AU Chunky Book pages...and a contest!!!

Now that I have all my big projects completed (Christmas presents and 29 AU Chunky Book pages) I am ready to do something fun. I haven't done any collage in a while so I think that's what I'm gonna do. I also have a few patterns for felt things I want to try out.

Etsy is still in the works though my lack of time and technological knowledge have hindered my progress. I'm gettin' there!

How about a teeny tiny contest? I will send some of those little felt hearts pictured at the top of my blog to the 5th comment on this post. I mean the 5th unique commenter-you cannot leave 5 in a row. Am I explaining myself? And should a miracle occur and 10 people comment, number 10 will get some too!
