Yesterday we had to go to Lincoln Heights and while we had some time to spare, I stopped off at Zinnia and found:The new Somerset, Artful Blogging, COOL Owl rub ons from Maya Road, gorgeous bird paper and some fun board pieces that I thought would be neat as stencils! Since the dentist screwed up Tristan's appointment time (I have told them several times that 3:30 doesn't cut it for us as I have to take Tristan out of school..so they made it for 330 but told me 4!) we have to go back there again today...We also hit the Iliad bookshop (I was good-didn't buy anything) and Meltdown Comics where I found the new Nicole J. Georges book! Yay!! Tristan was happy he found his Ben 10 Transforming Rocks (basically Bath Bombs with a toy inside).

Guess where I don't buy gas anymore:
Another sign of the times...do you really need it?

I'm off! Gotta go do some more prepping for next weekend at Frenzy Stamper in Scottsdale. OOH! I can't WAIT to show you guys the new techniques in these classes!! I'm very excited!!! Spread the word! Bring your friends! Bring your neighbors! We'll paint, play and have a great weekend!!!

Quickie question-
has anyone ever traveled across the US via train NOT in a sleeper car? I'm looking into Amtrak as a possibility. Pros? Cons? Much appreciated! :)
