excuse logic

i like to "use" a vacation to purchase more art stuff. observe the following:

1. exhibit A- vintage carry-all bag used for taking art supplies with on vacation

2. example B- inspirational magazines and creative items able to easily be pack into said vintage carry-all; please do note the variety that is able to be packed into said bag.....almost enough, but, not complete.
now, this is where the excuse comes in.....the defendant will claim that she needs to go to the craft stores while on vacation. different stores= slightly different stuff at said store and the defendant will claim that she is being limited in her creative abilities by only being able to bring the carry-all. so, just a quick sweep through the craft stores at the vacation spot- especially for small items that will still easily fit into vintage carry-all....which leads us to:

3. example C- small crafty, creative items purchased at said craft stores, which totally made the defendant's heart go pitter-pat. 2 new 6x6 stencils, 2 new ink color circles, and 2 rolls of washi tape.  all of which would easily fit into carry-all- and all that could be used in art journal packed on said vacation.
all of this leads to the final point.....art journal pages....

excuse....

 monday i had to head to education 3 hours away from home and it was  basically  too far to be able to travel back and forth due to the start of the class  the next morning. so after sitting all day in class, i ventured to the mall to "walk." walking leads me generally speaking to any fabric/ craft store, book stores, and almost any shoe dept.

under the premise and excuse of walking, i managed to find the newest mags- somerset studios- some of my favorites (to read that evening of  course in my hotel room); and who can pass up $1 deals on stamps and paper tags? well, not this girl! i   also managed to find really cute polka dots sheets in a very nice spring teal (i know my pic is maybe looking a little green...) and last but certainly not least....orange wedge sandals!! omg. i  had actually seen the orange wedge sandals earlier over the weekend, but, was  unable to find my size. even with my thorough scrunity of the shoe area.  but, with the excuse of  needing to  stretch my legs for a walk- found them!
