everyday life of a stay at home mom/artist

Ohhhhh Yarn

, ,

Because of my charming friend Karen encouraging me in blogging my life, I took pictures of our trip to the store today. I was hoping and praying that a certain yarn shop was open…but no, I couldn’t be so lucky, they are only open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. [/IMG]

No fortune with that, so we headed towards Wal-Mart, a store that I am sure most have heard of. lol. The only part I was interested in was the arts and crafts, mainly yarn, section! yes I was feigning for some yarn but the only thing that distracted me were the candles! Give me candles, give me candles; lovely, gorgeous scented candles…cherry, pumpkin pie, vanilla, pear, Exquisite,divine smells were tickling my nose and opening my wallet with ease. I almost couldn’t decide on what I wanted and settled for a new style that I haven’t seen before and the aroma that I smell now is ‘wild berry preserves’. Gosh darn it smells marvelous. [/IMG]
After picking up a candle we moved on to the yarn. Isn’t it dazzling? I thought so! By the way, it is the style that is in the white containers with the lids. bigsmile [/IMG]
Hubby was determined to have the Transformers 2 pack DVD set. I don’t even know what the second DVD was or what is so extraordinary about it, but I am sure he feels the same way about my fixation with arts and crafts. rolleyes [/IMG]
This wasn’t everything that was in the cart, but I took the picture too late to catch it all! [/IMG]
Check out...$73.93 for 3 bags? faint no irked [/IMG]
I love the Garden Center....smile [/IMG]
When we got home, I made cookies. It was the perfect day....cold and cloudy and rainy. Love it. Chocolate chip pecan and Choco-Oatmeal with pecans. The trees are loaded this year, so there are plenty everywhere you go...pecans pecans pecans. [/IMG]

So would you like our address so you can send a sample of the cookies?

You had a lot more fun on your day then I did. I sat in school attempting to learn something. The key word was attempting. At least I didnt fall asleep.

KarenNerak Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:32:59 AM

I'm glad you guys had a good time shopping! It looks like you both got what you wanted. up

I'm sorry I'm kinda listless right now...I just called it quits after a long day of cleaning, picking my Dad up from the airport, and sitting around talking. I AM POOPED!

I'll do my very best to check in when I can while my Dad's here! If I don't talk to you in the morning, Happy Birthday, Sarah! I hope you have a truly wonderful day & are made to feel like the special woman you are! heart

Nikolaos, I have not seen you in a while, hi The cookies were good. chef lol

Hi Aida! Thanks and yes...we can take pictures in the store...why not? Maybe by you that is not allowed? I carried it in my hand the entire time! I think some of the employees thought I was a 'secret shopper' or something...(someone who shops and then gives the store a rating) lol

Nicolas, thanks! cheers

Dang it, Walmart, my FAVORITE STORE!! Ok, so when I do get down there, we are gonna have to go there too, (except I don't do the yarn thing, me I am all about the house stuff!!) luvs ya!!

Froggyfbaggins Wednesday, October 24, 2007 1:35:12 AM

hey ya sarah!
so its legal there then? thats up, seriously! i have always wanted to take pictures of this and that in the stores but nope, cant bigeyes.

'secret shopper'? maybe thats why they let you take pictures, coz they want a good rating! bigsmile

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, October 24, 2007 8:58:12 AM

Hey Juanita,
I love the home section as well, if you shop with me in my section I wlll shop with you in your section. Thanks so much for stopping by. heart

We NEED to make cookies together...the kids would love us for it! lol

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, October 24, 2007 9:03:46 AM

Aida, lol

I guess it is legal...maybe not, but I did it anyway. The most they can do is just stop you and warn you. I think half the employees don't know the real laws; if in fact it is legal or not.

Is it posted on a sign or something that pictures are not allowed in your stores? Weird!

A good rating? lol...well If I were to rate them, I would have given the store an 8 out of 10 in appearance. They were still unpacking boxes.

bigsmile

Froggyfbaggins Wednesday, October 24, 2007 9:18:16 AM

lol

well the important thing is, you can! bigsmile. besides, what harm can a picture or two of grocery items can do, right?

here at certain places they do put up signs with no cameras allowed and such. other places, got no signs but they do have all serious looking security men that will make you believe you have killed somebody just by taking a picture of canned tuna. faint

8/10? thats considered high even with the unpacked boxes. lol but the place does look nice and tidy so i guess an 8 is up

yummy!

Sarah Dreamsangel292005 Wednesday, October 24, 2007 5:12:29 PM

Aida,
I know what you mean...what harm does a picture do? Maybe in the future, they will relax about those things. You could try to sneak pictures with out the flash! sherlock
