A Day Off....Happy May Day!
I started out good this morning. I went and go some lab work done this morning. I went to Michaels just to get out and look around. I also wanted to see the new Martha Stewart scrapbook line. I have been hearing about it on my scrapbook message boards and at work. It's exculsive to Michaels. Let's just say I'm SOOOOO not impressed. It's boring colors. Nothing really fun like fun prints or anything. It's a lot of earthtones and primary colors. The patterns are very old fashioned like Anne Griffin (scrapbookers will know this line) of papers. I didn't think the prices were too bad. About average. I heard that she had 18x18 size papers. The standard in the scrapbooking world is 12x12! I was SHOCKED! They were HUGE! What on earth would you do with a sheet of paper that big?!! The albums are huge too! Holy Cow! I am not suprised at all that Martha has gone this direction. I am just suprised she hasn't come out with a scrapbook magazine yet! Knock on HARD wood! HA HA!
We did get a little bit of a dust storm this afternoon and a little sprinkle. But then this evening the storm rolled back around again and we did get a good shower out of it and lightening. It's trying to heat up here but we're just not there yet. I think we barely reached 90 today!I still had the windows open until about 3pm when the dust storm came through.If you live here you know what it's like. There is nothing quite like it. A big cloud of dust so thick you can't see. It rolls across the valley and blows everything in it's path. Then it's over as quick as it came in. It's pretty amazing to watch it roll in. It's raining again. And that's a good thing!
