What kind of day are YOU having?

I've noticed that there are 3 kinds of days when it comes to crafting and lately everyday is about crafting.

Creative days - aka Discovery days or Experimental days These are days when I try new things and come up with new designs.

Productive days These are days when a lot of work gets done. I generally stand during really productive times. I can get 15-20 cards of the same card done in an evening if I'm really productive.

Mindless task days These are the days when I do repetitive tasks that seem pointless but will help later on. Tonight is one of those nights. I was hoping for a creative day but all I can muster is pulling the stems off of silk (though I doubt they are really made of silk) flowers.

I was really busy at work today and then took E to Hobby Lobby (dangerous place for me) to get something for Dame Catty, there are no Hobby Lobby Stores near her. I wasn't going to get anything. BUT 50% off is too hard to resist. That's cheaper than the clearance price at HL. I got a few stamps for Christmas, I really don't like the ones I have and will be selling them on eBay or out of the trunk of my car soon.

E was a blue octopus for Halloween this year and has already decided he wants to be a tiger next year. There was a tiger set (headband with ears and a pin-on tail) on sale for $2 in the after Halloween section so we got that. He played with it so much in the store that he pulled the pin off the tail already, easily fixed so I'm not freaking out but it was a bit embarrassing when the woman at the checkout asked if there was a price on it. She was really nice - gave me the 50% off price on things in the clearance bin instead of charging the clearance price -- even gave me 50% off a seasonal punch though she shouldn't have I didn't realize it until I was home putting things away.

We ate at Boston Market and he kept saying in a loud kid voice, "Mmm, I sure do love Baker's Square." It was a bit embarrassing but it was funny at the same time.

After dinner we went to Kohls and got him some new shoes, they were on sale and I said I forgot my Kohl's coupon, which I did and got them for nearly 50% off. The timing was just right because as he was putting his old shoes one of the elastic straps that serve as laces broke off. His feet still light up -- they are Buzz Lightyear.
