Friday at work was one big countdown till HistoryDiva and I would be walking through the doors of the new local Michael's. Since it was the "soft opening," there was no big to-do at the store, but there was quite a crowd at the checkout. I was actually pretty good--I bought a pound of red yarn (to knit a few Special Olympics scarves at Dave's request), a mini 2011 calendar for work (with pictures of cupcakes!), and a purse-sized polka-dotted 2-year planner to replace my 2009-2010 calendar that is almost obsolete.
I also bought this adorable pair of puzzles for Dave's two nieces, one who will be 2 in December, and the other will be 4 in February. One puzzle has a magnetic net that pulls out magnetized bug puzzle pieces, and the other has a magnetic fishing pole that pulls out magnetized sea creatures. I thought that the girls would love them, especially since they have several wooden puzzle sets at home. Dave wasn't impressed. I'll give them to the girls for Christmas anyway since he doesn't know how to wrap a present to save his life!
