Monday I had major cabin fever. Which is a side affect from working from home. I rarely come down with the fever but was hit hard Monday. So I finished up the task that needed to be done then headed out for a rare Monday Artist Date.

First stop - Jo-Ann's Fabrics. I had never been into Jo-Ann's before and was pleasantly surprised. They carry everything from craft supplies to home decor. Due to the awesome sale they where having I stocked up on supplies to keep my creative adventure going. See picture above.

Second stop - Micheal's. This is my regular stop for craft items. Since it is near my house it's convenient to stop in when I have an extra minute or two. I love walking up and down the isle's in search of sparks of creativity.

Last stop - Border's Book's. This is my favorite thing to do for my weekly relaxation and artist date trip's. I particularly love the magazine section where you learn just about anything. Especially in the crafting isle.
