The Joy that is Hobby LobbyJan 17th
It’s been a few years since I’ve been in a Hobby Lobby, but Benn and I decided to go check out the one up the road on Friday. They have so much STUFF! We were on a mission to find popsicle sticks for program fans. They have wavy sticks and straight sticks. The straight sticks are much thicker, so we decided to buy a pack of those to try out. We found some thick paper to try also. I’d been looking for cardstock, but I haven’t been able to find thick enough paper. We ended up buying some white tagboard in a huge pack of 8 1/2″ by 11″ paper. We also found a very peachy colored pack of candle wax. The wax looks like sand, so we’re going to try it out in the candle holders mom just ordered for us. We were also thinking about using it for the sand pouring ceremony. We also picked out very modern vases for the sand pouring! They’re so AWESOME! They’re tall and skinny with thick glass spiraling down the vase and the top is open at an angle. They’re definitely more modern than what we otherwise would have gotten, but they’re so cool! We were also looking for 5″ metal pails to use with our table markers, but we didn’t have any luck. I did find some online, so I’ll probably just order those.
Benn and I had so much fun just looking at all the house decorations! We can’t wait to have a house! First things first, we both need jobs!
We also decided to print our save-the-dates at Walgreens as regular pictures. We wanted to do postcards, but they were going to be $1.00 a piece, and our pictures were 9 cents a piece. The pictures just seemed a lot easier. We did have to buy envelopes as well as stickers for the backs of them for the extra information, but I’m glad they’ll be in envelopes.
I’ve been getting addresses from people, so we should be sending them out pretty soon! I wanted to get them sent out by November/December, but that clearly didn’t work, so my new goal is ASAP!
Benn and I’ve been home since Tuesday, so we’ve been spending time putting stuff away and cleaning. This place is so small that any pile of anything makes the whole apartment feel like a disaster!
I also wanted to mention that I bought the Active for the Wii! I tried it out last night, and it kicked my butt! It’s a blast though. I think it’ll help me keep a routine. I’ve only had it for one day, but I absolutely recommend it! My legs and arms and shoulders are sore, but I can’t wait to do it again tonight! I’m doing the 30 day challenge, so I’ll let you know what happens at the end!
Thanks for reading!
