Was going to post my weekend wrap-but it is actually going to go all the way back to Thursday because I have some things to share.
I am blessed with a friend who gives me all her old books to take back to McKay's. I went on Thursday and took some books back. They took some and gave me store credit, they took some and gave me $16.00 cash back and after what I bought I still have around $5 in store credit to use next time because I couldn't find all the books I was looking for this time. But I did quite a few of the ones in one series I am finishing and a bunch in a new series I am starting. Here's what I did get.
After McKay's Book Store we went to AC Moore. They have remodeled and now their front checkout is like Joann's where they put what retailers call impulse buys. I picked up four of these items for $1 each and the jars were on sale .50 each. So I was very happy. I love the little change purse. It is so soft. Similar ones at Walmart were $4.97. So I was happy to pay a dollar for it.
Next stop was Dollar Tree. I have a running list of things I look for when I am at a Dollar Tree. I was able to scratch off the rugs I wanted for both doors, the little white buckets (stay tuned in weeks to come as to what I am doing with them). I got the white flowers for a craft project I am doing. Stay tune for that as well.
I adore the rugs. I am going back to a different Dollar Tree to buy the roll of non-skid backing I saw and gluing it on the back of these new rugs because the wind whips through my back porch and I have lost several rugs that don't have a backing. I don't want to lose these since I have been to four different stores trying to find them in the past month.
I took a nasty fall at work last week. Skinned up my knee really bad. It will be a week tomorrow and the torn skin is healing, but it hurts to bend it because it stretches the skin and makes it hurt. Ugh. I'm just glad I didn't hurt myself. However, I realized a couple of day ago that when I fell, I cracked my watch face. Now I am really mad at myself for falling because I loved this watch. I'll have to see if I can find another one. It was a Walmart $8.00 watch so should be able to. But just aggravated about the whole thing.
I am happy to announce I finally got a hair cut. I have needed one for two months but kept putting it off until after we put up the Santa hats we were required to wear for work in November and December. The hat doesn't look right when you have short hair. So I'm back to my "happy hair."
This popped up in my Facebook memories today. Since I am off and I do have all the supplies on hand, I may make one to see how they turn out. But I need to focus on housecleaning and laundry first.
I hope everyone has a great Monday. Just glad I am spending it at home.
