Sioux Falls trip

Last week my sister-in-law and I made a quick trip to Sioux Falls. She wanted to take a tour at Southeast Technical Institute and go shopping for a prom dress.

I bought quite a few things while we were there.

First of all, we were on a mission to find the prom dress. Here is a picture of the one that she decided on.
It is a beautiful dress and looks great on her. Good thing that she found this one almost right away and we didn't spend too much time finding the perfect dress!








We then went to Hobby Lobby. I have been working on getting caught up on scrapbooking, so I bought quite a few scrapbooking supplies. Also, Ted bought me a sewing machine for Christmas, so I got some material to play around with and a pattern for doll clothes. It will be interesting to see how those work out! I haven't really sewed before, even though I've watched my mom many times - and the sewing machine came with an instructional DVD, so wish me luck!

We have quite a large collection of DVD's, so for a while I have been trying to find a storage cabinet that will be able to hold all of them. I found one online at Best Buy that looks like it will work for what we need, so I purchased that also. It is still in the box needing to be assembled, so I will post a pic after it's all setup.

My splurge item for the trip was this AMAZING Coach purse:
I absolutely love it! It's the perfect size, has several pockets/pouches and I love the colors. I've noticed that I have been more careful with this one than the usual purses that I carry, making sure not to get it dirty or set it on the floor anywhere - that's what a purse hanger is for! :0)
