Ok, what else do I have to share.....
* Disney on Ice is a no-go. They only had crappy seats left. And why pay $40 for crappy seats when I can take her to see the Disney Princess Parade at Disneyland for free? But I do hope the ice show comes back through because I think that would be fun. Just....not from the nosebleed seats.
* Gina just released a gorgeous new line of papers and elements that are just aMaZiNg! And the price could not be better. Think about it. If you normally pay an average of $6.50 per kit and this line is the equivolent of 6 kits. That's $39. This line costs $27 for the papers AND elements! Cha-ching! Check 'em out:
Perfectly Pastel Papers
Perfectly Pastel Elements
* Carrie just released all sorts of luscious goodies at Fishscraps including a beautiful freebie called "Truly Delightful." I just downloaded her "Lucky Day" kit and it is the best Irish-themed kit I have seen yet! I'm not gonna link you because I want you to see all her new products for March. Stop by, grab the freebie....maybe throw another kit or two in your cart.
* I finally got to scrap with Angie's beautiful "Chasing Butterflies" kit. This kit is phenomenal. 16 papers, THREE alphas, and tons and tons and tons of elements! Embroidered elements!! Have I mentioned how much I love the look of embroidery on digital LOs? She created so many pretty embroidered elements that it was hard to choose what was going to be on the LO and what had to be left behind. It was like Sophie's choice. ; )
Here is the LO I created using Angie's kit. Everything is from the kit except for the stitch (Katie Pertiet) and the fonts are Mom's Typewriter and AL Age Old Love.
Ok, now I expect everyone to have spent at least $60 by the end of this post.
And after you have spent, stop by Laura's blog and grab her rockin' beads freebie!

Ok, that's all she wrote folks. I'm about halfway down my list of blogs to catch up on and I have some new chicas that I want to add soon too.
And let's see....I think I'll be ending all my posts from now on with a question. I mean, this shouldn't be all about ME right. How conceited am I? ; ) Let's talk about YOU. Today's question:
What is the last thing you bought for YOURSELF?
19 comments:
Hey Shannon! Love the new color scheme you got goin here :)
I went to check out Yankee's tarts thanks to Gina, (geesh!) and almost got 35 dollars worth of tarts and then I thought, what the HECK am I doing?!!! I still have two tarts that haven't been burned from LAST christmas (that's 2004) simply because, get this, I am too lazy to put a tea light in the tart burner and then clean it out afterwards. So yeah, I got the hell out of there! :)
The last thing I bought for myself was today, I bought some Turbo Jam DVD's that I saw on an infomercial today. I hope they are worth it. I'm a sucker for infomercials, it's pathetic. lol!
btw, go to my blog and check out the contest I'm having. You have to go today!! :)
LOL Nice title Mare!
I wanted those mosaic votive holders too. They are so pretty!
Oh boo! I wish you could have went to the ice show. :( But yeah, I wouldn't spend the $$ on crappy seats either. They'll be back.
LOL I didn't do Julie's tag (sorry Jewels!) because didn't we do that quiz like 2 months ago? Aren't you repeating yourself Mare? Do you need them to up your meds at Shady Pines with Shanah? LOL
Last thing I bought for myself..... a ton of stuff! If I have to pick one, I'll say my new black dress.
Cute layout - love that picture. And I like the new blog look.
So, New England Clam Chowder, eh? Are you a recipe sharer? I've been looking for a good clam chowder recipe, but since I've never made it before, it's hard to tell what's good or not just by the ingredient list/instructions. But some sage advice (and your recipe -- LOL) would be great. And it's not like I'll bring it to the same potluck as you & upstage you or anything -- pinky swear.
In other words, could I please have your recipe sometime?
oh boy! those yankees are addicting aren't they?!!! tryin to stay away, but yankee just released a new collection for hallmark (gasp)! it's called the Yankee Candle Celebrate Home Collection and there are 10 new scents that i am dying to sniff! well, the pink grapefruit and cilantro sounds like a no-go, but there are others like sugared ginger and vanilla, and sweet magnolia and mandarin...
oh! the last thing i bought for myself...do scrapmags count?
Where is a true Yankee Candle store? The one in Costa Mesa was closed last I checked-where do you go? Cause I'm thinking the stores that carry the tarts probably won't do the BOGO.
Bummer about Disney on Ice! But I agree with your decision! As though that makes you feel better, huh? LOL
Damn you for making me shop!
Y'know, when I did that little quiz on my blog I thought it felt familiar. But geez, Gina..be nice and humor me! You're just a big ol meanie! Shannon is my nice friend! Thank you Shannon! :)
Almost forgot-what did I buy for myself? I cheesy 'diamond' studded fashion watch from Target for $12.
I realllly need to jump on the tart bandwagon. We have a Yankee Outlet about 45 mins from here- I may need to hit it soon :)
Last thing I bought for myself? Ummm- I have NO clue!! I tend to buy the kids things instead of myself. I guess probably something scrapbook related- oh yes- about a month ago I bought myself Donna Downey's "Designing with Photos" book :)
Yeah, Gina caused me to blow money on some tarts too. Evil woman!! ;)
The last thing I bought for myself was some new shoes at Nordstrom yesterday! I haven't bought new shoes in sooo long!
Love that layout, Shannon! At least you picked new people for the tag so it's new for some of us. :) Have a tartful day!
hmmmmm..... the last thing I bought myself would have to be my new pink RAZR. And I love it, love it, love it!
Ok....let's see if I can log on anonymously!!!! Will it count if I tell you that it's Shanah checking in?!!! Love the new color scheme but really Shannon....I'm quite adept at shopping....do I need to come here and find MORE ways to spend (wink, wink!!!). How about a few tips so I can be clean and organized like you, find time to do all the beauty things like you, scrap prolifically like you....these are the things I need help with. Shopping....NOT!!!! Ok...last thing I bought....Appearex pills for my nails. Just because I've gone 43 years with NO nails...does not mean there is not hope!!!
Have a great day from you anonymous/not so anonymous friend!!!!
I was feeling sorry for myself a bit because I could not remember what I had last bought myself..then I realized it was quite a biggie. Tickets to Coachella to see Madonna. I don't feel quite so sorry about myself anymore.. a little scared about early dementia setting in though.
I have to get on the scrappin bandwagon first and THEN I'll get on the tart bandwagon. Oh heck, I'll just do both. You're such a digi scrap/tart pusher!! :D
I still have yet to try a tart. I was so bummed because I bought 30 or so (online) a few weeks back, and when the package arrived, it was full of votives! They misshipped! Ugh.
Let's see, the last thing I bought myself was my Michael Kors handbag. Thank goodness I get paid tomorrow.
I forgot to say the last thing I bought myself. Silly me. My last "me" purchase was a work shirt at Ann Taylor. Love that store!!!
I'm sorry about Disney on Ice. It usually comes here once a year. So it'll be back, I'm sure. I'm totally going to have to start burning tarts. actually I'm going to start buying stock in the company! I'm sure it's soaring now, thanks to Gina. :) I completed the quiz you tagged me with...so feel free to stop over at my place! ;) What haven't I bought myself recently...Oh! I got the soundtrack to Aida the broadway musical.
Hey Shannon! Thanks for the link, you're sweet! :) Did you drop Cool Hand Luke from your list? I always think of you when I think of that movie. Wayne loves it and you're the only girl that I know that loves it too.
OMG, I cannot believe you spent $40 at Yankee Candle. I'm probably there's not a Yankee Candle store here, or I might have joined y'all on this binge.
Last thing I bought for myself...a Star magazine. That's right, I like the trash. LOL
Ohmigosh - I can't remember what I bought just for ME! Hmmmm...oh wait! A pair of gorgeous brown leather shoes from Aldo. ;0) How could I forget those?
haha, I put my tart burner in my guest room, and I was like, "Is it rude to go into Jeff and Monica's room to steal back my own tart burner?" hahahaha, LOVE IT! THanks for getting me hooked!
Hmm, last thing for MYSELF? Umm..oh. Yeah. haha. Underwear at Target. I get all gushy inside thinking about them. They're black. With pink polka dots. I heart them.
Cute layout!! All this tart talk and I am no where near to buy them!! I think last summer was the last time I bought some tops for myself. Unless you count a couple digi kits I got last week-but those aren't spending on ourselves-it's for our "family" right !!
