Two of my Favourite shops...

are Ikea and spotlight. And i was lucky enough to go to both over the last few days.

At Ikea Bernadette can attest that i was a little eager to get started once we were there. My coffee was woofed down and i ran to get a shopping cart for Sharon to push around.

Hi Sharon. You knew this would end up here!

Bernadette and Sharon were Ikea virgins so at least I didn't feel bad buying so much as they were buying up too. I even insisted we took the biggest car we had between us and i still had to have a mirror hanging out of the boot. Sharon stood arms cross smirking when the mirror was just that tad too big... Return it? no way! I ran back in to grab some string that i spotted at the wrapping station.

The mirror is currently sitting on the bathroom floor until i get a chance to paint a feature wall behind it. Three people have suggested Brown, which makes that choice easy. Photo's to come when i get around to it.

Then yesterday i got up early and went into Spotlight before work (in uniform as Spotlight is closer to work then to home), and spent my "Spend $100 and get $40 off" voucher. I was like a kid in a candy store. Although i really need a new rotary cutter blade which they didn't have. Grrr.
I bought the material to cover my 2009 diary (with embellishments of course). The purchase of the 1" x 6" ruler was inspired by this craft apple tutorial. The pencils are iron-on transfer pencils for I don't know what yet. They are sitting on my new 35" x 23" double sided cutting mat. It was the biggest they had. Big is always better...

This sign is on one of the planes I fly on....

I did giggle when i first saw it. But I'm sure there's been kiddies who have actually done this and ran out crying, because the loo's are pretty loud on the plane. Come to think of it.. I have had to unlock toilets to find no one in them...
