World Cup and Impulse Shopping

So while I sit here and watch the World Cup Final (GO USA!!!) I realized that I forgot to mention my impulse buy!   I am so excited.. and nervous.  I was shopping with my mom on Wednesday at Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby for my sister's baby shower and I was telling her all about the Cricut Imagine that I want.  (Again .. I'm not a crafty person... but I just need want it.)  So I woke up Thursday and got the urge to shop for the Imagine on Ebay.  And.There.It.Was.  The bidding was ending in 3 minutes and it was only at $150 (that's a steal!).  So I bid.  And got outbid.  And bid again.  It was all very exciting really.. It's like a game of chicken.  It got up to $183 with 15 seconds left.  I bid $185.  Outbid.  AHHH!!! With 5 seconds left I bid $200.  AND.I.WON!    So ::crossing fingers:: when it arrives on the 20th (it's already in transit) it works.  I really can't wait.  So Excited!

    1. My mom's side of the family is full of crafters. Me? Not so much. I love it, but use it seldomly... Mainly for school decor, for that - it has come in quite handy... My next impulse buy may just be the Silhouette Cameo... But I'm holding off on that until I take a nice long vacation at the beach. :)
