thoughts of michael's

shared by VJ Rabuy, her sister

When I was younger, Cindy and I did not have much money. Come to think of it, we probably usually had no money. Where would 9 and 11 year-olds get money in the early 90's? It is probably good because we would have undoubtedly spent it on candy.

On those rare occasions when we did have money, we would buy FIMO moulding compound and embroidery floss. Both my older sister Arlene and I have blogged about Cindy's crafty savant side. And today, I am once again reminded of those fond trips we would take to Michael's, ziploc bags of change in hand, and of what little colors we could afford of both - or either - that we would bring to the register.

Today I went to Michael's with my mom and Arlene. I thought about what I could pick up for my next new project. I hope to come up with something amAZIng. Something that would make Cindy proud.
