I just found the link for the related sentiment set "
Crafty Ladies Say".
Sarah, I think we need them both!
I keep thinking I need to go on a craft spending freeze ... but then I see cool stuff like this!
At Target today I bought some cool journal stuff in the Dollar Spot, including a tassel to hang from the spine that really matches almost perfect. I think that was $3. I love to look at back to school supplies
and I usually buy myself something ... a folder, small box of crayons, something ... But this year all of the folders were solid colors. Did they pass a new rule or something that kids can't have cool designs on their folders?! A few years ago I got a Pink Panther folder ... I have another one with mountains on it that I pack when we go to Denver - I put my airline tickets in it, luggage receipt if we check it, crochet instructions ... Nope, today it was solid colors only. I almost bought a plain white one to decorate, but it had prongs in it and I really only wanted a plain folder.
So, the shopper in me ended up looking in the pricier stationary aisle .... I found a set of 3 booklets from Rifle Paper. I love their designs. I usually see them at Papyrus or Paper Source. I think I will keep one and share the other two with my daughters. Send them a little back to school package even though no one has to go back to school this year! I also got a pack of pencils with cool sayings on them, mostly because the packaging said "Life Coach" and my social worker daughter is being paid to take some Life Coaching classes for work, and she got her Licensed Clinical Social Worker certification ... so I thought it fit! And can't leave the other daughter out, so I got her some binder clips in pretty colors with encouraging words on them (they are putting in a new software system at work and she had to take every patient's history over again, and chart their visit on paper and then try again to enter the new system that night) . She could probably use some encouraging words!
All because it is tax-free weekend in FL! Ha! Look what I saved! Not much.
Does anyone else still like to do a little back to school shopping? Need it or not?
