A New Toy

Tonight, Ryan and I had to run to Wal-Mart for a few things. I've come to realize that retail therapy is fast becoming my favorite way to self-medicate from the routine-ness of life. Therefore, a quick trip to the store usually ends up costing a LOT more than I intended it to when I walked in. This trip followed that pattern pretty well.

I knew that I wanted to get a few more things for Kallie's Easter basket tonight--and I warned Ryan about that before I walked in. But, the real danger came when we walked by the Cricut machines and saw that the cartridges, which are normally about $90 were on sale for $45! It was an offer that I REALLY couldn't refuse! Although I wanted to buy a few of them, I couldn't justify spending close to a hundred dollars or more on Cricut cartridges tonight--especially when we're trying to save up for living expenses while Ryan's in grad school.

I finally ended up with "Doodlecharms" which has lots of cute little pictures, instead of a font. It will even make little tags and cards with a cutout of one of the cute little pictures at the bottom. I was so excited that I had found such a great deal! Now, I need to come up with something fun and interesting to make so I can play with my new toy.
