Cool stores make me happy!

Found a great store in downtown Sumner, not too far from our home. Camie is the owner and is super friendly. The store's name is Paper Muse and it is beautifully decorated, full of really unique rubber stamps, embellishments and paper. Perfect stuff for altered books and art journals. They also carry the 7gypsies line which I absolutely LOVE and Catslife Press stamps which I like as well.

Didn't have much time to enjoy the antique shops on Main Street. I did walk in and out of some really quick and I can't wait to go back.

Cool little towns make me happy!

Cool Findings

Yesterday I found this red tray at Goodwill for 99 cents. Yipee! Perfect for cool storage of some scrapbooking supplies. I then went to Borders and found the new Somerset Wedding Magazine. Tons of really cool ideas (i.e. scrapbook pages, home decor, altered books). Ideas that I can use for other things beside weddings. I also found this new kit Wide Open:Inspiration & Techniques for Art Journaling on the Edge in the crafts book section. I had read about it in Ali Edwards blog and I LOVE IT! Totally inspiring. I want to start creating RIGHT NOW! :)

I like it and I want it!
