Have you heard of Hobby Lobby?

At my sister-in-law's urging, I made my first trip to Hobby Lobby. OH, MY GOSH!!! I think I have found my Mecca. I could have spent thousands of dollars in there-- the furniture, the baskets, fabric, BEADS, wood crafts, paint, awesome decor. Wow. I mean, WOW.

I managed to escape having spent only $36 on two boxes that look like over sized books (I'm planning to use them as my new jewelry box, since mine was commandeered by a four-year-old), a pretty hook that is going to display my new aprons (which I had planned to post about before all h@!! broke loose around here) and a model car that Ethan picked out. It's his "I'm going to be good for surgery" prize a day early. I found a beautiful $60 platter that I wished I could have bought for my mom. I found a trunk with fake belt straps that I want to use as a coffee table (I mean Pepsi table, since I don't drink coffee). I found a whole bunch of baskets that I liked. I've also been looking for cute banks for my kids to put change in (the Mason jars are getting old), and yes, they have those, too. They were so cute-- basketballs, footballs, pigs in tutus. I'm serious, I could have spent hundreds of dollars in five minutes flat.

I may never go to Michael's again! So, if I suddenly go missing in town, look for me at Hobby Lobby.
