kind of like potted meat, some supplies stay "fresh" forever....

in an effort to reduce my carbon footprint...nothing was purchased to create the following 2 layouts...(in the last week...)   but some stuff was REALLY old...I"ll list the REALLY OLD stuff!

old Anna Griffin paper
the red glittery transparency my friend Teri gave me probably 2 1/2 years ago
the white letters were a $1 splurge at Dollar Tree
the metal crown - was Morgan born yet?
the "blue" letters were from the major 99c Advantus clearance (Swapp circa 2005)
I would guess my first trip to Arbor Oaks was two years ago - that's when I bought the green jewels and butterfly
The background paper on the "blue" page is from the pre-Gustav 10c sale rack at Co.
The zipper embellishment was on the clearance rack at Charming Charlie's - a pin? - I think not!
The Hambly rubons and transparencies - when did Hambly go into business?

Now for something new (but not in the last week)... I was drooling over Webster's Pages new "Bloomers" trim.  A package is around $7 and none of my local stores was carrying it.  My friend Karen showed me some trim she bought at Hobby Lobby...it comes in plenty of colors and it's $5.99 a yard (before your 40% off coupon).  That is the white trim you see at the bottom of Morgan's "BLUE" layout.  I misted it with some Glacier Glimmer Mist which helped to soften the bright white.  I am in love for two reasons - 1. I can mist it any color and 2. It's CHEAP!!!!!

this was such a fun way to document the girl's favorite colors (this week anyway)...
