Random picture for tomorrow’s post. Mostly ’cause I hate to start a post without a cool pic.
“Can you believe the back-to-school stuff is in Target already?” I texted Mystic.
Yes, especially if people are buying it. Are they? came the reply.
“Um, if by ‘people,’ you mean me, then yes.”
That was three weeks ago. Even in the world of crazy retail sale schedules, I thought it a bit early for back-to-school sales, but of course I looked. And picked up a few bargains. The best sales are yet to come.
I have no problem admitting I’m a sucker for a new stash of school supplies. For we use the stuff year ’round with crafting, journaling and general all ’round creative pursuits.
I love a fresh clean notebook, just waiting for the first stroke of pen.
Crayola crayons perfectly sharpened bearing that familiar crayon smell.
Bic medium blue ballpoint pens.
Glue sticks.
And Post-Its.
Man, does the O’Malley household love the Post-It line.

The folks at Post-It sent me some of their fun supplies, including this handy holder that goes on your refrigerator. Methinks it’s far easier to have sticky notepaper stuck to the side of the fridge than rummaging around an overly full junk drawer for a scrap of paper. Assuming, of course, that YOUR junk drawer looks like OUR junk drawer. And I’m kinda hoping it does.
When it first arrived, I tore open the package and stuck the dispenser right on the fridge.
It promptly fell off.
I tried again, this time applying more force.
Down to the floor it went.
