phosfateBuggered off from work at Noon, since I still have use-or-lose vacation time. Didn't burn it all, but came damn close.
Hit the rubber stamp store, where I actually bought two rubber stamps (normally I just order out of their catalogues, because their in-store stock tends toward big-eyed dancing mice, hearts, and kittens). Then went to the comically-named Scrapbook Nook, which is in an inaccessible location and keeps banker's hours. Walked in to find most of the fixtures empty, and everything 50-90% off because it turns out they are closing operations today. Oh dear. Got a ton of Mrs Grossman's Stickers that I normally can't afford (if you don't know them, they're a sticker line of general spiffiness but their largest and most elaborate designs are pricey). Was glad of the bargainage, but it sucks when a small business has to close.
Then took Mom on errands, went to Hobby Lobby while she shopped for meat (each to her strength, I say!). They had designer paper half-off. Well okay. Dining-room table is now a wonderland of vellum, mulberry paper, toile, etc.

Tell friends mom that The...oh God where do they get these names?...The Scrapbook Nook out t'hell and gone (15th and...Pine Lake, I think, right across from the new high school) has the best paper selection of anywhere, ever.
