i also could not resist picking up this ombre dot journal from the martha stewart office line at staples. ummm...can we say yum!  i stood in that aisle for a long time and it was very, very hard to walk away with only one! i love it!  i also picked up a new graph paper pad for an upcoming knitting pattern i'm working on.  need those graph sheets for doodling out some new lace designs - fun!
