ok, so I did tell myself that I really shouldn’t buy any more books to make into journals until I went through the ones that I had- but goodness me… how could I resist these guys?! Jack and I ventured out early this morning to hit up a huge charity yard sale at the fairgrounds and the vintage books were amazing. I wasn’t prepared to be buying books- I’m 8 months pregnant, arms already full of goodies to purchase, pushing an umbrella stroller (you know, the ones with NO storage space underneath?)- and somehow I walked out of there with about 30 books. It’s called pushing-and-pulling-a-box-crammed-full-of-books-to-the-front-of-the-sale-while-pushing-a-stroller. Or something- perhaps I’ll work out another title later, but I’m sure that it was hilarious to watch. One elderly lady asked me when the baby was due and when she found out it’s next month she exclaimed, “oh my! Should you be out and about?”

Of course I should. =) And, I’ll be at the Palafox Market tomorrow too. If you’re in Pensacola, FL, swing on by- I’m discounting a bunch of journals that have been around a while to give me some room for these new beauties. I can’t wait to cut them up.

gosh, I love my job.
