Shopping Fun

I made a stop at my local craft store this afternoon to pick up my tried and true Canson Mix Media notebook for the new year.  The good news is they had them in stock.  The bad news is they went up $1.  I really need to keep a closer eye on the sales.

Of course, you know I couldn't just walk in and out with just that, right?  After all, I'm all about trying something new!

I enjoy using the Reeves Watersoluble Wax Pastels in my journals, so I thought I would give their brand of watercolors a try. I figured for $5, I can't go wrong.  I also found this Royal & Langnickel Keep N' Carry Watercolor Set for $5.

The kit includes 6 watercolor paints with a watercolor pad, Taklon brush, pencil, eraser & sharpener in a zippered carrying case.  Even if the paints are horrible, I thought the case was worth the price.  I haven't tried it out yet, but I do think my moleskin journal will fit inside.

I found quite a few other assorted goodies, but I'm afraid I can't show them to you.  I bought some items to share with my Secret Santa in my journaling class, and I have very good students who read this blog!  I hope you're having a wonderful week as you "Celebrate, LOVE, and Create!"

TODAY'S PHOTO

What's a birthday without a little bling!  Hubby surprised me by, as he said, "changing it up a little bit".  In lieu of art related supplies, he gave me this great charm bracelet.  Hey, every princess needs a little bling!
