HEARTFELT CREATIONS


i was a scrapbook junkie long before 
all the professional scrapbook stores. 
i can't even begin to imagine what those same
 scrapbooks would be like if i had possession
 of all the cut outs, tools, paper,
 fancy lettering,
 borders and the like.
 i discovered
i do not know if that is even around any more.
 i have spent my dollars at roberts 
(kind of funny...stores with male names
 but appeal to the women population.)

i had made arrangements with mom and dad 
to meet at the maverick on 90 south
 just off the freeway. 
i was game as i would be in the territory of a frozen yogurt.
 i pulled into the parking lot when dad called.
 they were stuck in
ongoing construction. 
i climbed out of the car and saw the
i have passed by this charming aluminum
 building a gazillion times. 
i had felt the desire to peek inside, 
but the location was inconvenient 
for crossing freeway traffic. 
today, i didn't have an excuse.
 i stepped inside. wow. wow. and wow. 
what a store. 
i am sure had i known about this 
place in earlier days,
 i would have been penniless long ago...
everything and i mean everything was adorable.
i did not have a dime in my wallet. 
i could not purchase a thing...
only look and look i did.
