Paper

Today Addison and I made the trek to JoAnn's Crafts outside of Brentwood. There are closer JoAnn's, but this is the one I wanted to go to.  The weather was pretty blah - misty, grey & chilly - but the ride was uneventful. Addi napped and I ruminated.  It was the best of both worlds.


The purpose of the trip was to completely waste the afternoon.  In that respect, it was successful.  I was also in search of another advent calendar.  Jana mentioned that she liked mine and I was hoping I could pick one for her.  

Perhaps if we had gone to the store closer to home - the one where I found mine - I could have scored one.  But, we didn't.


I also knew that JoAnn's has their DCWV Paper Stacks on sale.  50% off my favorite brand of cardstock will entice me to drive over an hour to add to my collection.  I don't need paper.  Not at all.  Paper to me is like comfort food. Some people like grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup when they aren't feeling well.  Others like chicken and dumplings.  I like paper.  


When I am feeling down or blue or lonely or just plain bored, give me paper. Crisp, clean paper.  It doesn't even matter what kind.  Today it was cardstock. Sometimes it is a fresh new journal.  Nice lined paper.  Or even a 25 cent composition book from the school supply aisle.


Today, I got some of these great 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 stacks of card stock.  A printed stack with a matching solid color stack.  They will make some nice cards for all occasions.  

I didn't need them.  Not at all.  I just wanted them.  And, they were on sale.
Instant mood enhancer.
