Goody goody gumdrops!

Okay I took my cash and my 40% off coupon and did it. I finally bought one. Here's the proof:


Then, because I was feeling particularly saucy, I took a stroll down the 50% off ribbon aisle and these jumped in my cart:

Yummy aren't they? I can not wait to tear into that zebra ribbon with the black fur trim--rroowwll!

In other news...Here's a card I made for my bro in law. He's having a tough time with the impending divorce and trying to find a house. We are not close now, but I have a feeling over time we may get closer. I am struggling to write the inside. I can't say the truth which is 'you are sooooo much better off without the cold heartless wench.' I guess just write from the heart, right? Let him know that we will help any way we can and that we are praying for him.

Thanks for stopping by!

Glad you had fun on your shopping spree! I think that the card is lovely and yes, from the heart. Glad he doesn't read your blog ;).

I used my coupon on a Fiskars border punch!
Your card is simple yet poignant!

Where in the world did you find that zebra ribbon? You know I know that store inside and out!

I think he will appreciate the card no matter what you write inside!

I bought mine a couple weeks ago! Also with a coupon but the only other thing that jumped into my cart was an embossing folder! lol. Then last week I splurged on craftsetc.com and bought several embossing folders and a die cut.
