I've arrived...

Today I died and went to scrapbook heaven!! I went to Michael's!! Finally. I just want to know why the hell I wasn't told years ago that I needed to go here. I had no idea that this place was insane. I was walking around the upper east side with my mom today and she was like do you want to go to Michaels? And I was like omg great idea!! so we stopped off quickly at her apartment and grabbed the coupons for Michaels she took out of the times earlier that morning, thanks ma for thinking of me when you clipped that coupon. We hopped in a cab and arrived at 99th and Columbus 5 minutes later. I saw Michaels from a distance and had the biggest smile on my face, if I walked any faster I would of been running.

The feeling I was having as I entered Michaels is like how Dorothy felt when she finally reached the Wizard of Oz, she had arrived and so had I. My heart was pounding out of my chest, what I was about to see was gonna blow my mind.

There is a big sign at Michaels "where creativity happens" that really is the truth!

My mom and I grabbed a cart and beelined straight to the scrapbook section. Holy Sh*t!! I have never in my life seen anything like this, rows and rows of embellishments, papers, more embellishments, tools, glues, albums, kits, you name it. I was shaking seriously. I didn't know what to do first, do I start putting things in my basket or do I walk around first then go back, I was going in circles. I finally talked myself into calming down. Deep Breaths. Somehow we managed to get out of there within 45min, thankfully my mom had a catch a movie so I didn't have a choice, I don't know if I could of afforded to stay in there much longer anyways. Woohoo 20% off!! that helped just a little. I got these awesome frames that are 12x12 that I can put my layouts in and hang on the wall, oooo Jared is just gonna love that, NOT. Maybe when I get that scrapbook room I've been talking about I can hang them up. I also got the memory makers distressing kit, which I tested at home tonight and the emery board makes me squimish when I use it against the edge of the paper. I'm going to have to work on that.

I also got this circle cutter that cuts circles out of paper in different sizes, very cool, this will definitely come in handy.
