The weekend before last I ran in to the city without the hubs and the boys. I was going to a craft store, and Figured that it was the kind of place that one should probably not bring kids too.

All I needed at the store was some felt, but I ended up spending an hour and a half walking around looking at things.

One of the things I saw were a whole isle full of cardboard displays. Now, I’m not sure where I got this idea, But I always assumed that people made their own displays. I, myself, have never competed in a science fair, but I honestly thought the kids had flattened cardboard boxes and made their own displays! I was pretty amused to see them for sale in the store (and for a good price too!) At least now, if my boys get into the sciency stuff, I know where to go to get them displays!

Another isle I had to stop and play in was the SALE isle! I got some little plaster characters for the boys to paint (this whole week they are off school) for 1.50. Each kit came with paint, a brush and two figures to paint. Deal! Also in the sale Isle was a package of glow sticks for .50 cents. I picked those up too!

The last thing I found at the craft store was a sixty ounce coffee mug (it’s HUGE! Fits an entire pot!!) ready to be personalised. I picked it up, as well as some decals to make it into the perfect gift for my coffee loving Stepmother’s Birthday next Sunday!

I think that next item I go, I will bring the boys, maybe we could go down the woodcraft isle and they could pick out a bench or a wall shelf to decorate!!
