CPS #206

I got some great shopping deals today!

• My ATG gun adhesive ran out, so I went to Michaels and got a 2-pack. Originally $5.99. Used A.C.Moore 55% off coupon. New price $2.70. I also got 3 small containers of buttons in the dollar bin (red, white, black...Twilight, anyone? It wasn't on purpose, I promise).
  
• Went to Tuesday Morning and bought 3 stamp sets (2 for $1.99 each, 1 for $2.99) and a Martha Stewart sticker pack for $0.99.
  

** TMI alert **

Earlier this week, I asked Meg for advice on how to prevent blisters while running, and she suggested the I find some moisture wicking socks. After making my crafty rounds this morning, I went to Sports Authority to get some athletic socks. I felt like I was in the cereal aisle at the grocery store because of all the options. No joke. Despite picking up a 3-pack of new socks ($10), I still ended up with blisters on my feet (one on each foot, matching locations) when I went out for a 4.85 mile run this afternoon. At least I didn't feel the blisters at all. Maybe I just need to give in and buy new running shoes.

** Ok, we're good **

I wanted to dive right into the paper supplies that I got from Meg and Robyn last night. This card that I made is based on CPS #206 and incorporates paper from each of the ladies (the blue is from Meg and the flowers are punched out of elephant poop paper...no, it doesn't smell bad). I couldn't resist folding an origami elephant to accompany the flowers.
