I’ve been trying to read before bed, but all the running is making me just zonk as soon as I hit the pillow! Its been SPRING BREAK so we’ve done the zoo, picnics, etc… So glad Spring Break is over! Anyway… I did manage to move all my books upstairs, so now they are gorgeous and on display instead of stuck in the corner of my craft…

My sweet little niece got to spend her entire Spring Break with us, and I wanted to make her a little memory book of some sort to take home. We only got to meet her this past Christmas and I have been going to get her on the weekends since then, so I had lots of photos to stick in it for her already. I gave it to her today, when we were leaving to take her home and told her to take care of it and on her visits…

This has been a busy week for me life wise, and not really a busy week book wise. LOL! So here’s what I picked up on a shopping trip to Evansville. First, I ran into Borders to see if I could find any good bargains. I have to say 30% off, Borders? 30% off to me is NOT a “Going out of business Everything…

I really have been trying to cut back on my “craft spending” since my personal income is way down, and have been doing a great job of NOT just buying everything I see.
