I've bought my own Christmas present

[wiseheart]

Because Mum nagged me to do so, since she can't just go out and get me something, and anyway, who knows how much longer the shops will be able to stay open in the current situation and all that.

So I went to the Müller drugstore and to a craft shop today, since I had to do the food runds and to fetch the eggs from school anyway, and now I'm the proud owner of two special motif punchers I've wanted for... well, about forever, but never bought because they are so ridiculously expensive. The bigger one cost about as much as all the stuff I bought in the craft depot two weeks ago - of course, this was at the Rayher's craft shop, which is always expensive. I also got myself a pad of embossed cardboard sheet at Müller's, so I think St. Nicholas Day, Christmas and my name day are all covered.

Before that, I made two food runs, and by the time I got to school I was dead on my feet, not to mention lugging two heavy shopping bags with me. And that was before I'd have picked up the 30 eggs at school. Fortunately, my friend Evie has her car back from the mechanics and she'd finished work just about the time I arrived, so she gave me a lift home. She's a jewel!

Not much else happened. I was knocked out for the rest of the afternoon. My other friend, Eenie, gave me a call, which was nice, but otherwise I was pretty much done in.

Edit: Since a few of you've asked, this was the bigger motif puncher and this was the smaller one.

I am agog to know what sort of shapes they punch out!
