We've been in Jupiter, Florida, since the day before Thanksgiving, and I've been shopping with Laura, my oldest daughter, every day except one. She loves to shop for bargains on jewlery, and we really hit the "mother lode" in one pawn shop. I got caught up in the buying spree too, and I bought a beautiful, hand-tooled turquoise and silver ring that I just love! She, however, went berserk and spent a lot more money than I did. I can't even begin to tell you what she bought, but it was mostly rings, and one solid gold Noah's Ark bracelet that was so beautiful. She has a special charge card that she puts all her jewelry purchases on. I wonder why she does that - Ha!!
I must admit that I have really had a good time with the shopping - puts me right in the Christmas spirit. We saw two good movies this week too - "Lincoln", which was great because of the wonderful acting, and then today we went to "Breaking Dawn, Part II". Both of us have read the "Twilight" books, so we were excited about seeing the last film. It was the best one, I think. We will be going back home on Thursday, the 29th, so I'll keep in touch.
The writer speaks of the common occurences in the life of anyone who scrapbooks regularly and finds that she (or he) has spent more on scrapbooking tools than on food for the family. There are musings about a hobby that creates a mess wherever you work at it, and as long as there are unscrapped photographs anywhere in the house, it never ends. And there are always new and wonderful products coming out that one HAS to have!
About Me
- Judy G.
- I was raised in South Florida back in the years when it was a peaceful and wonderfully safe place to live. We lived a mile from the beach and could ride our bikes over the intercoastal bridge right to the best beach around. All my years of growing up I was a competitive swimmer and belonged to AAU. I granduated from Florida State University with a BS degree in nursing. I am recently retired but I'm thinking of going back to work to support my hobbies.
