Who Likes to Shop?

Okay, I admit it. My name is Vicki, and I'm a shopaholic. Shopping is FUN! It's a form of entertainment. The hunt for the perfect "thing" at a great price and finally finding it is such a thrill! So naturally, Black Friday is paradise for me! I take off work and hit the stores for an all day extravaganza. Hellmart is always first on the list, then the truck is full, so I go to the office and unload, then run to J.C. Penney's and Belk. Those are my Big Three. Then it's another unload at the office and then a more leisurely cruise through the other stores at the mall. Last year was the first time I took photos of the end result, Dad said I looked like the Beverly Hillbillies, my poor truck was crammed to the gills, and this was only one load! I scrapped this page to document some of my booty! I wish I could give credit for the Santa paper, but I can't even find it now. It was just perfect for this LO. If I remember correctly, it was scanned from gift wrap. If anyone knows who created it, please let me know, I would love to give credit where it is due. If ya'll say it's Cinzia Loosemore, then thanks go to Cinzia! However, I have been to the web site because I wanted to buy the paper, since I can't find it on my cram packed HD, and it's not in the Holiday Magic set. Any ideas where I could find it?



Hugs, Vicki aka "Ace Super Shopper"

LOL - Love it!!!!

Have fun this Friday. Our office closes, so I have the day off but MY plans include sleeping in!!! I know my kitty will enjoy that. He gets very irritated with me when I crawl out of bed in the morning; he does his absolute best to "purr" me back to sleep . . . unfortunately, sometimes it works!

LOL!!! Woman, you are nuts! I LOVE IT!!! Gosh, in order to do the sales any justice, I woul have to leave here at 3:00 AM, and that just isn't going to happen. Next year I want to goto KansasCity, then I could see it. Living in the middle of nowhere, I find large crowds make me a little uncomfortable... but I will be thinking about you!

The best shopping anywhere near here is in Missoula - home of the Montana State Grizzlies - (100 miles from here) - oh, wait, aren't they in the playoffs with the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday? They smoked some MSU Bobcats last Saturday... I wonder if they can take out some more a week later... LOL! When I saw that on the frontpage, I thought of you Vicki.

Love the santa paper - you made quite a haul!

HAve a great day!

OH.MY.GOODNESS!! What a haul! I have to say, I bow down to the queen of shopping!! LOL!

WOW!! What a haul, Vicki!!! LOL

See, I always say the world must stay in balance for it to run smoothly. For every me (mallophobic) there must be a you (shopaholic)!! hehe Thanks for picking up my slack!

The layout is great and I remember the kit because I did a layout of Kaline's first Christmas with the tree paper. (she climbed the tree a LOT), so it was easy to find in my files. It’s “Holiday Magic” by Cinzia Loosemore

I'm aghast! Is 'Black Friday', the day they give thing away or something? If so I think England should do it! I have to give you credit for stamina girl, that amount of shopping would kill me. What did you get, as all I can see are boxes?

I've used your fab 'True Blue' QP over on my blog. Thank you again, it was perfect for the photo's I snapped when I was up in London yesterday. I would have liked to have scrapped my own but VickiP, bless her heart, is holding back on the elements. I keep popping in and out of her blog, and have, I must confess now resorted to just hitting the refresh button. How sad and needy am I?

Bigs hugs
