Hobby Lobby and Boscovs

 Those were our other stops for the day. First was Hobby Lobby. None of the 4th of July stuff was reduced which seemed odd. Amanda still found some good things to buy though. They had lots of fall stuff out already. It's way too early to be looking at fall. 

Amanda spotted this scarecrow and as I pulled out my phone she said "I'm not sticking my face in there"

I took her picture, handed her my phone and said "I will"

I didn't take many pictures in Boscov's. Amanda found a pair of flip flops, I bought 2 pairs of sunglasses that were marked $2.99 ea and 2 tops. As we were walking out I spotted this guy.

This guy had nothing on the guy we spotted in Hobby Lobby though. Amanda was checking out and I had gone to the restroom. On my way back a man came in to the store wearing a low and obviously a woman's shirt. He was also wearing a beaded necklace. I don't recall the rest of his outfit but I can tell you that he was turning every head he passed. Most were trying to stifle a laugh. Amanda and I walked out of the store and couldn't stop laughing.

A birthday lunch

 The Saturday before Amanda's birthday we went out to lunch and did some shopping. Lunch was at our usual place. Cracker Barrel. We got done eating and were getting ready to leave when I realized I hadn't taken a picture of our food. Amanda said here take a picture of both our take out boxes.

After we paid, we browsed in the gift shop for a little bit. Amanda liked this mug.

This towel speaks the truth

This swan was really pretty.

I only have a few more pictures from the day but I think I'll show those to you tomorrow.

Birthday cards.

 I recently made two birthday cards. One for my son and one for my daughter. I used the same basic design but each one has a different look.

First up is the one for my son. 

I actually made 3 exactly the same. I'll use this card to send to Wade's two sons on their birthdays. Inside there is a tan oval shape the same size as the blue oval. That's where you would write your message. I sealed the one for my son before I took the picture and this one doesn't have that oval inside yet.

Next is the one I made for my daughter.

Same design, different papers and different focal piece on the front. I designed the cat in Cricut Design Space using mostly circles and triangles for the ears. I thought he came out pretty cute.

And here is a look at the inside. Again, there is a circle the same size as the outside circle for writing your message.

Because I think the cat is so cute. Here's a close up of him. The only thing I wasn't happy with was the nose. I cut the circle by hand so far from perfect. I couldn't find anything else to use that looked good. I tried a leftover gem from a diamond art project but it was way too small. 

They bloomed.

 My peonies finally started blooming.
