I've always shopped around (vintage shop, junkies street, craft store, free mails..so on. But I like the most at Michaels because of their weekly 40% off coupon :P well, right now I am not supposed to buy any more items because I am between moving to abroad. and no more room in my luggage and also time.
{Actualy, I often buy only the craft tools or raw materials because I personally think the scrapbook or finished products package nowadays are much more expensive. Luckily, my style I prefer to make every things by myself , it's more enjoyable , yes it takes too much time but it's also good practice of meditation for me. Second, I love the concept of reuse / recreate / recycle products-around-me to be useful things again. Imaginably, It's only a precious handmade craft in the {me} world}
however, it is no hurt to go and look around like " Window Shopping" or may be J U S T to get A little new distress ink I need :P
