Sunday that was.

This past week I drove to the "city" twice on two of my "days off". Once for my brother and once for my Mom, both of these trips were necessary though a little tiring. The first trip ended up being expanded into a grocery/stock up trip and I ended up getting to hit Staples. I bought myself a box of Manila tags to play with (yay!), though not the 3"x5" these should be bunches of fun. I also grabbed a set of the sharpie paint markers and am loving them all over many, many surfaces.

The second trip ended up turning into a thrift shopping adventure. I scored a few pairs of pants and shirts in both short and long sleeved for work and I must say, my pants ($40 nomex fire resistant cargo pants that FIT for $5!) are AWESOME! Several pair of heavy, soft cotton cargo pants in excellent condition (in my odd shaped size) for $5 a pop and a few great looking t-shirts (the amazing brushed cotton that is still wonderfully insulating) for around $3 per. Thrift town and goodwill are definitely two of my favorite places. This also means that since I brought clothes into the house, I will have a couple of bags of gently loved clothes to donate locally to the shop that benefits the senior center and the one that helps the mental health clinic. I so love a win/win shopping experience.

As for art, I am being tempted by the idea of a tattoo gun. There is a young man at my new job that has offered to loan me his if I buy ink and needles so I can try before I buy. I have a canvas to test on and the art to try all ready to go, I just have to decide if I want to be serious about this or if it is a passing fancy. I love my ink and I love (most) ink on others but is it really the direction for me. Opinions are welcome as to whether this is something my Loyal 3 think would be fun to watch me try.
Now for some pretty pictures...

Wishing you all Peace, Joy and love.
