13 Things That Cross My Mind While I’m Shopping at Michaels

October 11th, 2018 by Karen 18 Comments

There is a significant chance that I may never leave this place…

1. Like, was there ever supposed to be an apostrophe on this sign?

I wonder… Because some companies with names that end in ‘s’ have or had at one time apostrophes in their name. Sometimes they go through a re-branding somewhere along the way and lose the apostrophe.

Hmm…

2. Will Tabs attempt to fight this Halloween black cat if I put it in the front yard? (Probably.) Perhaps the pumpkin would seem less confrontational? Cats are weird, man…

3. Wait — is this place a secret safe haven for cat ladies, just like HomeGoods? OHEMGEE, I THINK IT IS!

4. Must touch all the yarns…

5. Um…didn’t I already walk down this aisle? I swear, I just saw these pens a minute ago.

6. Why do I want all of these shabby chic signs for my kitchen? — because my kitchen doesn’t look anything like a pumpkin patch or a farmers’ market. Also, I don’t own any antiques, so why do I want an oversized sign that says “ANTIQUES” on it?

7. Speaking of signs, someone at corporate is clearly as obsessed with #PSLs as I am, apparently.

8. I mean, really? Why are the cutest baskets always on the top shelf?

9. Note to self: Cover every surface at home with glittery fall garland!

10. Ooh, this is cute AND 50% off. SCORE!

11. I think I need these scarecrows and all of these white pumpkins…

12. Um…do I work here now?

I wish.

13. Oh, gawd, I’m never going to leave this place!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. In related news, this happened at the HomeGoods by my house last week.

Whoa!

    With regard to number 2, I have a bow window and put 2 scarecrows in there after the Halloween decorations come down. One of them is an owl one and it’s head is kind of shaped like a cat. It seriously takes Alvin (my cat) at least 3 days to get used to it. He growls at it and makes this weird sound like he’s from Pet Cemetery and freaks the dog out to boot!

      Ha ha, I feel ya Barb! It took Tabs at least a week to figure out this stuffed cat wasn’t real. Are the fur kids OK when the trick-or-treaters come around? We don’t really get anybody because no one wants to walk up the hill to our circle, so Tabs is fine.

        I have to put Alvin in the basement and shut the door or else he’ll try to run out and Lexi I have to keep in her crate cause she’ll be barking the whole time. If the weather isn’t too bad, I’ll usually just sit outside with a glass of wine or a beer and hand out the candy.

          That sounds purr-fect. Wish we could do that in our neighborhood! We have to take Connor to other places in the town otherwise we don’t see any trick-or-treaters.

    LOL on Tabs fighting the pretend cat! We used to unleash my daughter’s favorite FurReal cat on our cat and he had such a hard time figuring it out! I wonder if we still have that thing in our basement? Our new kitten would love it. The elder cat will probably laugh his furry head off watching that show.

      You should dig that bad boy out!

      P.S. Um, when did you get a new kitten?

      Bed, Bath & Beyond is a trap! I love/hate that place.

      Happy Friday to you, Diana. 🙂

    I went to Michaels today! Got some glue for some additions to my Medusa hair, and some yarn because it’s knotting season! I got a chunky rainbow yarn to make a scarf for myself.

      OK, so what did you end up going with for the Medusa hair? I saw your yarn on FB and immediately wished I could touch it. lol

        I bought these! I’m going to glue in some snake heads and tails from rubber snakes I bought. They’re bun covers, so I’m going to do two small sock buns (probably vertically, like a mohawk ). I’ve tested this and it stays in well. I’ll try to spray my hair green, but I’m going to do a strand test first.

    I wish we had stores like this here, I have to visit at least ten different places to get an overview of fall decoration.

    I’m so jealous over all the fall/Halloween stuff at your Michaels! I went to one near my house a couple weeks ago and there was literally one row of Halloween stuff. They already had all of their Christmas decorations out!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
