Do you ever just feel like shopping?

I am definatley in a shopping mood. If you have ever read Confessions of a Shopaholic, well, I confess that is me but I am on a MUCH smaller scale. It is probably a good think I am not rich because i might shop all the time. When the character, Bex, describes shopping and how happy it makes her..I totally get it. But, we differ in a lot of ways. I will NEVER pay full price. It is very very rare that I do. I love a bargain and will not buy it unless it is. It is not fun for me to shop and pay full price. Tottaly ruins the whole experiance. Well, I have to take this back a little. If I am shopping on etsy or something like that , I do pay the asking price. If it's handmade I undertsnad the work that goes into it so I will happily pay the price. But, otherwise. no. But, it's half the fun to me to hunt for the bargain. Like a couple of weeks ago I got the best pair of levi's jeans at JC Penny for $8 and a cute shirt to go with them for $4! Brand new and really cute. I needed a gown for an event back in July I found one for $14. It was orginally $200. It doesn't matter that I left the dress at home and had to buy a new one once I got there, right? I still plan on wearing the orgial dress somewhere. It is huge and bright orange but I think really really pretty. Maybe I just need to wear it to the grocery store or something. lol
I am also different from bex in the fact that I don't always buy anything when I go shopping. More times than not I just window shop and that is still just as fun. i am not all that materialistic but something about going to the mall, I just love! Since NM is comming out there are a ton of new things I want. But, I will have crossed new lines on insanity if my whole closet is filled with T related stuff! But, here are a few thing I am drooling over. See, this is fun..virtual shopping!
I normally prefer handmade Twilight stuff because the people who read the books get it. But, this stuff is pretty cute!

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...not yet anyway

i have been sooooooo busy!!! i mean really crazy insanly busy!! Oct. is normally crazy for us anyway but we added two conventions to the mix! We were in Orlando then Chicago and then The caving convention we go to every year. Then to top it off this weekend was GoldRush in Dahlonega. It is a HUGE festival right on our town square! Being a manager at a restraunt on said square I got to work this weekend. It wasn't too bad I had to run the shows Fri. and Sat. night. Just really really late nights.
I have badly neglected my etsy site. Which today I am going to do some housekeeping on it and restock. I have gotten into stamping lately and I made these really reallu cute necklaces for Halloween. You will have to stop by and look. they should be up in the next few hours!
