Hi everyone and happy Monday!
Yesterday was my birthday and I had the most awesome day. I was so excited that my b-day fell on a Sunday so that I could do a few of favorite things.....go to Church with my family and shop! LOL.....It's a bummer when we are stuck at work on our birthday....ha! Thanks for letting me share this with you.
First of all I wanted to go to Archiver's which is a total and complete scrapbooking store. You can check out the store by visiting the online site and check for a location near you. Click HERE for that. There is only 2 Arvhiver's in the state of Texas and I am sooooo fortunate to have both of them within driving distance. Katy, Texas and Cedar Park, Texas YAY!
After my trip to Archiver's we headed to Michael's with the closest store located off Westheimer Pkwy which is still in Katy, Texas. It was truly my lucky day because as we were walking into the Michael's store this adorable red-headed beauty was setting up her display table to demonstrate the Cricut Cake.....OMGoodness I hit the jack-pot. I was sooooo super excited and my husband and son were like "what-eeeever mom"!!!! LOL
I've seen the Cricut Cake online and HSN but to see it demoed in person is awesome and was truly fitting to see it in action on my birthday. I am one lucky crafter. Alisa K. did an awesome job and ProvoCraft, if you're reading this - she is an awesome demonstrator. Ü
Alisa and I struck up a conversation and got to know each other a little better. I got her permission to post these pictures here on my blog and told her that I would share that she is not only a demonstrator in the Cricut Cake but all of the other ProvoCraft machines as well including the Gypsy and Yudo. She will be offering demonstratioins every Sunday afternoon at the Michael's store off Westheimer Pkwy. in Katy, Texas beginning around 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Even though she will be demo-ing the Cricut Cake she can answer questions about other machines as well.
If you are in that area be sure to stop by.

Below is a video of goodies I found during my shopping trip on my birthday. I will tell you though that I was surprised that the Archiver's in Katy, Texas has a small Cricut section; not that I was going to buy a whole lot anyway but that's beside the point! HA! Thanks for letting me share it with you. Ü
Then....when I returned from shopping I got to spend the evening with my little guy Spencer....he stayed with Aunt Tina while mom went shopping and I don't think he missed me toooo much as he was swimming in her pool along with his big cousins. LOL....he's a charectar....we'll be back soon with another Kids Craft Too video (or as he says BID-eo).....Ü

HAPPY Birthday girlfriend........You ROCK!
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I like to spend birthdays too. Isn't Archiver's the best? I go to one every year when I visit my friend in Georgia. We do not have ANY in PA.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a GREAT birthday! Thanks for sharing your fun with us!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your birthday with a little shopping trip!!

BTW, I wish I had an Archiver's near me...looks like a great store!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY!!!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINALLY TURN 25?
ReplyDeleteGREAT HAUL!
LOVE YA GIRLIE!!!
Hey Tracey
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! You DID have an awesome shopping trip. I know how you felt about Archivers. I have one that is close to me, so I get to go alot. But I DON'T have a Joann's close to me, so when I get to go there, that's a treat. Just went there last week and I scored with some nesties that were on clearance for $9.97!!!
Anyway, thanks for showing all your loot you got for your birthday. My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, maybe I will drag my hubby along to the scrapbooking stores - HA! I don't mind shopping alone either.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACEY! And thank you for all you share with us on your blog.

Wow sounds like you had a wonderful birthday. I got the Cricut Card book for my birthday earlier this month. It has some great ideas. I also think you will really like the scor-tape it is great for boxes.

I am so glad that you had a wonderful Birthday! You deserve it!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My daughter's birthday is the same day!!! We had her party on Saturday :) I love Archiver's - it's a real treat just to browse and be able to touch all the goodies and see the colors in person. I'm glad you had fun and got to shopping for your special day!!! I've been eying the Apron Lace border punch for ages.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, I celebrated my May 19th and I went shopping at michaels
ReplyDeletehappy happy birthday. I cringed when you said you took your husband shopping because I agree with you--I would rather shop alone. The only thing is I want to be with him too. What the stores need to do is set up shop next to a hardware store so the guys have somewhere to shop while we are doing our thing. LOL LauraT
ReplyDeleteSounds like a day I would like to have on my birthday! I live in Hawaii and we don't have the luxury of craft stores like that so when I make a trip to the Mainland I go crazy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful day!
Okay my friend! I about DIED when I saw those MINI Black pop ups!!! OMG, I WANT those soooo bad! I'll have to wait until after CHA, because I have to remember I need spending $$$ there! MAYBE I might find them there?? what do you think?? YES that IS the PERFECT birthday in MY EYES ALSO!!! Aren't our hubbies the BEST!!;)
ReplyDeleteBIG BIRTHDAY HUGS TO YOU my friend!
Emma;)
Glad you enjoyed your birthday! I happened upon Archiver's when we were looking for a Michael's on a recent trip to Austin. I had to go back to the car and tell my husband, "I will be in here a while!." Wasn't it great????
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun. I was wondering, though, about all of your new dies. Will they all work in the Cuttlebug or do you have another type of machine?
