Ix-Nay on the Op-Cray

Saturday was supposed to be my all-day crop day. Didn't happen. I was literally walking out the door when the phone rang. Actually I had already got in the car and was about to back out of the driveway when I remembered one last thing that I wanted to take. Ran back in the house and that's when my friend Kimberly called to tell me that she had to cancel it. Lame. I'd been planning on it for over a month. And, believe it or not, after 4 or 5 years of scrapping, it was going to be my first crop. To tell you the truth, I'd much rather just stay at home and scrap here. I've got all my stuff around me, I'm comfortable, I can just do my own thing in my own time. I just don't do crops. But I made an exception for this one since it was being hosted by my friend Kimberly. My sister was going, too, and I figured it would be a fun day. But, it was a no go. I was bummed at first but it turned out okay. Robert said he would buy me a scrap goodie to make up for it... what a guy. =) I've been lusting after the new Elsie Flannigan book but calls to my 3 local scrap stores came up empty. None of them had it in yet. But, the little shop down in Palatka did. So we decided to hop down there (about a 30 minute drive). I found a few things I had to have (some papers, some Doodlebug flowers), Robert bought the book for me, and even a few things for himself. =) I am so loving the Elsie book... but I won't even let myself go through the whole thing yet. I'm being stingy. I'm savoring it. I get to enjoy it longer this way. Yeah, it's goofy, but it makes me happy. =)
