Kmart Closing – a Very Sad Day

Hi, what a sad day for me. I heard Kmart is closing one of it’s stores that I frequent quite often. Most every time I visit my daughter I just have to make a stop at the North Topeka Kmart. There is a Wal-Mart just across the roadway, but I like the smaller less crowded discount store.

When I heard of the closing, I drove to Topeka without making plans to visit my daughter- imagine that! The sales were good, but not like the ones I experienced when the Lawrence Kmart closed. The actual store closing will be in April. There will be plenty of time to check out the specials. My focus will be on electronics and a few furniture pieces- baby crib and such!

This visit I was on a mission for flannel sheets and a coat/jacket I had seen just before Christmas. Score….Both were on sale- they are in my cart! On my next stops, I will be looking for items I can use in my next home. Will explain more in a new post about the “next” home.

Do you have a preference- Kmart or Wal-Mart and why do you like that store?

Hobby Lobby Window Shopping

October, November and December are my most favorite time of the year! And my most busy. I have been photographing families, children and most recently for my employer- products for a catalog. These have taken time away from my blog. I would like to share one of my favorite memories from the past month- window shopping.

My daughter needed to visit her local Hobby Lobby store. I was delighted that I was carrying my camera that day. So many photo opportunities! Not sure if my daughter was aware that I was taking as many images as I did.

Notice the halloween items in the image above? Well, Hobby Lobby also had their Christmas decor out as well. I live in a small farm house. Not a whole lot of room to decorate- limiting it to primarily the tree. It was a pleasure and delight seeing all of the decorations.

After our Hobby Lobby run, we headed on over to Wal-Mart. Of course we had to check out the toy section for Brie.

My husband and I are expecting our second grand baby here real soon- November 30 is the expected due date. My daughter and her husband have chosen teal as the baby color for the room, car seat and such. So I have been on the search of teal colored scrapbooking elements for an announcement card. I was in luck and found just what I needed at Sweet Shoppe Designs.

Friday- the day after Thanksgiving is the day I will be celebrating with my family. I can certainly relate to the saying, the most important gift I can receive is family time when everyone can be at one place at the same time. Tomorrow will be such the day!

I truly wish your holidays are filled with family cheer and healthy body, mind and soul.
