I got to go shopping..... AND make a huge mess of my desk. LOL
I got to go to Michael's yesterday and today.
Then my grandchild came over to stay for a while. (She lives here sometimes and with her other grandparents sometimes).
BUT...My poor little Brookie is sick..... so, the last thing I bought today .... a thermometer ( bottom right corner).
My mess of my desk. Enjoy LOL
Come join in the fun.... I am participating in "WOYWW" = What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.
Everything was on sale or I used mega coupons.
And more still in the bag.
As you can see, this is not a normal Michael's bag.
Here in my city, we have to bring our own bags to all stores.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Take care!
and see you all next time.
hugs

Hi Kimmer...oh I wish we had coupons and a Michaels store here in Australia...lots of blogger talk about going there and by the looks of your shopping bag it's a great place to shop....have fun with all you new bits and hope GD is better soon. Cheers RobynO#27
ReplyDeleteHey Robyn... thanks for stopping by. DG is sleeping peacefully now. Thanks for your well wishes!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely new stash to play with, Kimmer! I do think you are fortunate in the US, having shops like Michael's, and lots of coupons and offers. Crafty stuff is very expensive here in the UK. Sorry to hear your granddaughter is ill and hope she's better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and your nice comment - I have knitted (and crocheted) for as long as I can remember, and while I don't do a lot of complicated knitting stitches, I do love working with lots of colour! I'm a great Kaffe Fassett fan. This is a long slow project which was neglected for a year while we moved house, and I'm now keen to finish it and start on the next one! I'm afraid the Exciting News will have to wait another week but hopefully by the next but one WOYWW I shall have something fun to report!
Happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #12
Thanks for stopping by! Time is my enemy when it comes to crocheting, which I love to do. But time is my enemy for all my craftyness of late. My spending spree was fun... and I am done for a long time now, I hope. :)
DeleteG’day Kimmer
ReplyDeleteI haven’t participated in WOYWW for maybe 9 months and I am trying to get to as many as I can even though its Thursday now here in Oz. Oh lovely new stash and I too wish we had a Michael's here in Oz...lucky you

Great goodies and super toes! And you're NOT last this week even! Thanks for the visit BJ#78
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

I did wake this morning to see.... lo and behold, a few Thursday scragglers came along.. whew!
Congratulations on all your new goodies - I'm sure you'll have great fun playing with them! I hope your little one feels better soon. Hugs, Chris # 35
ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call retail therapy, Kimmer. You certainly had a lot of fun there in the shop!! Here in Wales we take our own bags - the Welsh Assembly Government decided to make a charge for any bags bought in shops - the money all goes to charity. You just get used to carrying loads of bags in the car!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy all your new purchases.

That's quite a haul! Better still that it was on sale! Like the others have already said .. it would be great to have a look around Michaels here [in the UK].
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog today, I hope your granddaughter feels brighter soon.
Julie :-)
Hi Julie....Thanks for stopping by!

Dear granddaughter is so much better this morning, thank you!
How fun! I have seen those flowers but not the card of lace with the green and pink lace. That would be fun to use in my spring junk journal I am making. Will have to look for it. Enjoy yourself as you create. A focused journey #8
ReplyDeleteOh.. that card w/ the lace is actually from a RAK I got. I left a few things on my desk that I was using for the wedding mini that I am making for my youngest son.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by ! See you next week.
What a great haul of new stash, could do without the thermometer, poor baby. This "spring" weather just hasn't helped keep everyone on the well side, no matter what part of the world you live in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit this week. And there are other's behind you so you were not last this week.....LOL

Hope you have a great time with your new goodies. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteLove shopping trips. I know I put a dent in Hobby Lobby stock last weekend. LOL Hug that grandgirl for me. I sure do miss mine being so far away. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Creative Blessings! Kelly #82
ReplyDeleteThere was a big push for the no bags thing in my city. I'm glad it didn't go through because I use the bags I gets from stores from my trash bags. I didn't want to start buying trash bags! And what would all the dog walkers use to pick up poop?!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got a really great haul from your Micheal's trip. I got a $25 gift card for Christmas and I still haven't used it! Shocking I know! Thanks for the visit earlier.
I know about recycling bags from the stores. When I go to the neighboring cities, we get the bags from the store and I still get to save those.
DeleteOh, I got a $100 gift card from Christmas and I think I just finished spending about 2 weeks ago. The way I can afford my hauls is when I go to the store and spend anything. I always take all the change I may get and put it away, or if I get any mover over, I put 75% of it away. Then after a few months, I can go and get the things on my list that I just "have" to have... :) I think after this haul, I am good for another year.
Wow what a great desk full of bargain and I would love to come and rummage in your bag - thanks for sharing your desk and visiting me - there is blog candy on my blog if you are interested - Nicky #6
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely desk of stash you managed to b ring home and it's always better when you manage to get it all at bargain prices. I loved it when I visited US and my friend took me craft shopping with vouchers!
ReplyDeleteJo
Hi Kimmer, thanks for visiting me and your kind words.
ReplyDeleteLooks like great things are about to happen on your desk, for me a tidy desk always looks a bit sad and a messy desk is a happy desk lol!
Happy crafting, Angela x
He he! That's a great bag for fitting LOTS of things in! #60something
ReplyDeleteFirst, I hope the little one feels better! Second WOO HOO! that is quite a haul from Michaels! Last, where do you live that you have to bring your own bags to the store? Have fun!

Hi Danielle, I live in Huntington Beach , California. I think it is fine to carry my own bags, but we are not getting any better prices. LOL What is funny, the stores used to sell these cute (like tinkerbell and other disney or beach themed, etc) bags for 99 cents. And now that we NEED to carry our own, the bag price is $2.99 for the same thing. Thank goodness I had stocked up on those bags when they were 99 cents. :)
Deletethanks so much for stopping by! See you next week.
Love the look of all your goodies! Coupons for crafting stores is not something we get over here, but we only really have one chainstore, Hobbycrafts. Maybe if they had some competition, it would help. Re-using bags is starting to take off over here too, and long overdue, I think. It used to be the norm, many years ago- there really is nothing new under the sun, is there? Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #44 xx
ReplyDeleteNow that's a stash of supplies. happy happy. I think it should be illegal for them to charge more for bags now that you have to have them. At least it's totally unethical.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Here from WOYWW .

I wish my Michaels had as much good stuff as yours. I went and didn't find all the bargains you did. :-) Thanks for visiting my blog earlier. April #20
ReplyDeleteI like your messy desk, new stash, what's not to like??!! I like that you have to take your own bags to every shop, but what happens if you forget, or if you hadn't planned on popping in a shop at all! Sorry I'm late, almost time for the next woyww, hope you're not last again, lol!!
