after spending most my day in bed eating chocolate. [oh the nightmare i went through just to get a bar of chocolate!] i decided i needed to go out to the craft store.

i just checked my bank and saw i had received some of my tax return so i figured 'i'm depressed, i wanna splurge.' i went to the craft store ready to buy a whole bunch of scrap booking stuff. i've always wanted to do it and what better time than now when i'm all consumed in missing my boyfriend. well i got too overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. so i went to the frames section and they were having a huge 50% off sale, couldn't pass it up...i ended up buying eight frames and one really big collage frame. so now i am printing out all these photos and placing them in frames and decorating my room with derrick. not like with with him...but his photos are now surrounding me in my room. i should have bought more frames because i have now run out and i am re-doing a ribbon board i have with a bunch of old stuff...i'm removing it all and putting even more pictures of derrick and i up. i'm in love, why not share it with my room? hehehe

There's just something super exciting about being able to go out and buy stuff to distract you for a little while. And scrapbooking is ALWAYS a good time. :)

i just bought eight more frames. and one really big poster one for his firefighting poster :) i'm sooo happy!

and i got two scrapbooking page frames so basically i just do two pages and then put them in the frames. i think it's a good start :)
