JoAnn's WOW Factor
Ever get Cabin Fever? Well, this chickee got it today. I finished a really good book, "Vi Agra Falls," this morning. I love finishing a good book, except then I have the dilemma of what to read next. Because there is always a 'next' with me. :)
I wanted to get out of the house into the nice weather for a change. It's been unusually warm here. Yesterday it got to 34 degrees. Ice and snow are melting off the trees and rooftops. A huge icicle feel off the roof and flew past my window where I sit at the computer yesterday and scared me to death. LOL
I rode out to JoAnn's for just a few minutes. Didn't really want to spend any money, but wanted to look around. I picked up the 12x12 Cricut mats that have been impossible to find around here for about a month. But I just couldn't make myself purchase one. I've already ordered them from Custom Crops and they are still on backorder. I just couldn't make myself buy another pack and for a higher price even though I did have that 50% off coupon in my hand.
I walked past all the beautiful DCWV patterned paper stacks which were all 40% off. Pick up a couple of stacks that caught my eye, then told myself, "No. I have tons of paper. Just say 'no'." LOL
And then I walked down the stamping aisle. OH MY GOSH! They had clear stamps on clearance. Regularly $14.99 for $2.97. Hmmmmm.... I've been wanting some simple sayings for my cards. Nothing large and no quotes, just quick little messages like "hi" or something like that. So I leaned over, stooped down, and studied every single pack on clearance. And yes, I did end up buying a pack. But that's okay. It's something I wanted and would never have paid $15 for. I bought a pack of 22 stamp sayings for just under 3 bucks. AWESOME! I just love JoAnn's. :)
Hope you all are having a FANTASTIC day! What's given you the "WOW FACTOR" lately?
