Well, no one in the RL neighborhood can appreciate this, but I think you folks will.
I just started soap making (I've now 3 bars to my credit) and, as I am making soap, I need some way to package it before I give it to people. Anyway, yesterday I went to the local thrift store & spent a very pleasant hour or so going through the craft supplies & came home with lots of ribbon for packaging, fake flowers for soap petals, and some embroidery floss & sequins for my other hobby of doll & stuffed animal making.
And then I had an enjoyable hour sorting through all my supplies.
No--not what I was supposed to be doing, but fantastic fun all the same smile

Sometimes shopping for craft supplies is the most fun and creative thing you can do. Since my supply options are often limited, I try to get as creative as I can with what's available (and in my budget!), and its fun to just walk around and think of the things you could do with stuff.

Yeah--I can never walk into a store any more without seeing dolls' eyes, monster hair, and teddy-bear potential all around.

Hehe! That's what I did last night. (With different fabrics, granted.) My friend recently gave me a bag full of scrap fabric, and I just got around to sorting it, there was all manner of cool stuff in there! I love my friends, they support my crafting addiction.

I have an unusual love of sorting stuff.
and I toatally love going to thrift stores and seeing things I could use to make things, but unfortunatly I have soo much stuff at home that needs using, and soo little room to keep it all that I have to force myself to stop buying stuff for projects that just won't happen. Not that I am always sucessfull.
I recently inhereted my mothers stamp collecition, wich has spent most of the last ten years sitting in a box not an actual album.
So of course I have to go off and spend far too much money of fancy album pages and sort for ages. I thaught it was the best fun ever deciding where little bits of paper go on a page.

You know, I'm not a stamp collector myself, but I can totally see the attraction.
