I don't wanna, you can't make me...*stomp* *stomp* *SLAM*

Oh wow, that is one of the BEST smilies I have seen!!!

That is a cute smilie.

It reminds me of one of my Dad's favorite stories. Apparently, when I was little I used to throw spectacular temper tantrums. I would throw myself into the air, start flailing my arms and my legs, then hit the ground, not losing a pound or kick. Then one day, I threw myself up, and on the way back down, I put my hands down to catch myself. My Dad burst out laughing. He told me, if I could do it without putting my hands down, I could have my way. Which I couldn't do. I guess I got too old. So that was the end of the temper tantrums.

I did think about that......I thought if I got the cuttlebug I could then get the die for file folders and tags so I could do those as elements...... Then I got scared by how much I might spend, and the fact its too big to hide easily

It's one of TinkerBean's smilies. She has the very best to pick from.

I did a bit of shopping on Friday. Mostly paper to help tide me over throughout my month off. I bought well over 100 sheets of Bazzill and a bit extra and only spent $56 with the discount. It was such a good deal that DH didn't even complain . . . MUCH.

I only saw a couple of takers that have posted so far. Anyone else?

 

[lewdyan1]

I played but can't post what I bought as most of it was for my secret sister package. I will tell you I spent $27.89, so I know I wasn't closest. It was fun shopping anyway!

 

[TPCShauna]

It's not who is closest . . . It's whoever participated. So y'all be sure to post if you took the challenge no matter how much you spent!

great job Kat! Can you believe I never made it out of the house to get my $29 worth of stuff. Ya'll make me have a guilt trip over my brad incident last week.

I'll just take a pic of those, how bout that??

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I haven't made it out of the house yet to go shopping. Hopefully I can go tomorrow after school duty.

Aren't we all being good! Except me - I got some pretty paper I saw it in a French scrapbook mag and it was perfect for my Ypres pics as one piece had a poppy on one side with a silhouette of poppies on the bottom. Well, not work paying 7 euro postage for just two bits of paper, ;-) so I added some other bits of paper to make it worthwhile. So 20 euro later I've got some lovely papers but I've fallen off and bumped my wallet.

here's a funny thing - youo know when we buy paper with "script" on it, its usually in french, well this stuff was all in English

if you want to see it, its lolascrap.com in the "spleen" collection - yes, I know, funny name but lovely paper!

Pretty paper!!!! The large quote I saw wasn't in English, was the smaller writing on the paper English?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Yes, the writing in the back ground.
