I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday. They were having a frame sale and I am tired of having a beautiful watercolor of our old California neighborhood hiding in my scrap room. I want it displayed.
I will show the finished product Tuesday or Wednesday -- I think it will be nice. And a custom frame job for a 16x20 for $34 is a GREAT deal.
For those who don't know about Hobby Lobby, it is a craft store that also sells furniture, home decor, and a million little knick-knacky dust collectors. I love this store.
It is a Christian corporation, so stores are closed on Sundays. And their muzak is a mix of pop and hymns.
As I was looking through the mats, I found myself mouthing the words to "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." When I realized what I was doing, I stopped for a second. But I have to admit that I got a sense of comfort from the song -- and I was a little self-satisfied that I still knew the words. It's been a LONG time since I heard it.
Funny how those things stick with you and, even when you have deliberately chosen another path, come back to you.
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend. Scrapbooker, family historian, reader, cook, photographer. Volunteer. Political junkie. Springsteen fan. Loves deeply, strives daily to be a cheerful, kind and generous person. Fails regularly. Snarky, judgy and more than a little blunt. Some people don't appreciate my style. If you're one of them, that's ok. Get your own blog.
what a friend indeed! I love HL too. What a great deal on the frame! You'll have to take a pic of that lovely watercolor once it's finally beautifully displayed.
ReplyDeleteHobby Lobby is a such a great store. Did you see all the fabulous summer garden stuff? The bright pink, green, blue, purple, yellow and orange butterflies, bugs, windchimey things...I got Miss M a beaded butterfly mobile like thingy for her bedroom.
ReplyDeleteI do love that they close on Sundays...I think it's kinda refreshing in a 24/7 world.
i like hobby lobbys variety of stuff
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hymns still bring tears to my eyes. Of course, I just think they are beautiful songs, which they definitely are. BTW, I tagged you on my blog, when you get a chance. :D
