Holiday Market

You can click on the image to enlarge it so you can read the details. This is the show I am most looking forward to this year. It's a new show and so professionally run. The admission is $5 to get in, which used to annoy me on principle but now I understand it from a fundraiser's point of view. And it's always a sign of a high quality show. Please stop by my booth and say hello.

Gretchen got her new Prius on Saturday! It's the most beautiful deep blue. I took her to pick it up - we had a lot of fun. The salesman says mine should be here in 1-3 weeks.

Simon hit a deer with his car on Saturday night so while he fixes his car, he's driving my Saturn and Gretchen very kindly loaned me her Prius because she's in Florida on business this week.

In spite of how much I wanted to drive 'all the way' to Webster yesterday after work to buy a new leaf punch - because her Prius is so fun to drive and I wanted to check out the new Hobby Lobby, I was able to find a leaf punch at Michael's near work.

Hobby Lobby doesn't list their products on their website so I Googled leaf punch and landed on Martha Stewart's site. Darn, I hate when that happens. She does offer a leaf punch but I thought it might be bigger than I want. I went to Michael's and I must say, they now offer about 3 times as many Martha punches as they used to. Or maybe she came out with more. They are still expensive but very high quality.

And they were sold out of the leaf punch! I saw the spot where it goes so I know they carry it. So I got stuck with a regular craft punch. It's the exact size I wanted. But so annoyed was I, that I didn't get to buy a Martha punch, that I bought a bigger leaf punch too, just for fun. Guess I showed her.
