THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

I'm going out to buy some new jeans later this morning. 
Expect to find me collapsed in tears by lunch time.

Amanda, it wont be that bad...

Try on heaps, to get the right fit.

I find their jeans very flattering, have different leg lengths, and that tummy flattening panel, that is a girls best friend

No Katies handy. 
Have lots of cheap jeans that are too baggy and don't fit properly so am blowing the budget on some exxy ones today - while The Bloke is away!

Jakodai, I'm jealous of your BigShot!  I mainly do cardmaking, so am probably fine with my good ol' cuttlebug really, but the Big Shot just seems so much nicer to use (I've used a friend's).     Love your farewell pressie too!

l love the texture / feel of the  embossing folders for my cuttlebug ,  it really does give anther dimension to my cards  and scrapbook pages

jakodal my dad lives in victoria  so hopefully one day we will be able to meet up .
l have no plans at the moment of coming to see him as he is flying to wa in august

Now have a pair of slim fitting jeans, but crikey - were they dear! $200 for Not Your Daughter's Jeans!
A very nice top and a pair of winter weight, control top leggings fell in my bag too.

I was about to suggest NMDJ Amanda - I have a couple of pair and love them plus being US sizing I can continue living in a dream - but am not touching the Salted Caramel fudge this Easter

I went to Kikki-K today and bought these:



And tomorrow, I think I'm going to go back and get this:

[maddy]

Thats a gorgeous store Jakodai   
Do you have a typo store near you?.....I love their quirky stuff 

[jakodai]

I do, but I haven't really found a whole lot there that I've liked - it's a bit hit and miss for me. Sometimes I love everything they have, and other times I leave feeling disappointed. I LOVE their stamps, though. A friend bought me an 'Oh Crap!' one, which was perfect for me - it's exactly what I say when I stuff things up or forget something! lol. I have to admit though, I have spent a small fortune at Kikki-K, and I've even recently emailed them and suggested a stamp that I've wanted and haven't been able to find. I DESPERATELY want block mounted stamps with the days of the week on them. I've found some clear stamps that mount on the acrylic blocks, but I'm not a fan of these kinds of stamps, and they've been quite small as well - too small for what I want them for. I get a bit obsessive sometimes... lol

[maddy]

I get a bit obsessive sometimes... lol

nahh....it's just enthusiasm 
I love their naughty Christmas cards....people don't expect it, and have a good laugh.

[jakodai]

Yes! They have a lot of 'naughty' things like that - I think that's why they're becoming so popular, because they're not tied up so much in political correctness that most places are.

[cookie1]

I love Kikki-K too.

While at the market yesterday we were looking to buy 2 boned lamb shoulders and they had full lambs for $99 so bought the whole lamb. The butcher boned the two shoulders and cut the rest up for us. I'm sure if it was a good deal but we have a lot of meals worth of meat in the freezer now and we lover lamb.
