Lately
Went to wal-mart yesterday, and saw a copy of alice for $5. I hesitated to get it, because I thought I already had it and I like to avoid duplicates, but I got it anyway, because I'd hate to not-get it and be wrong about having it. I took it home, and saw that I do already have an edition exactly like it in every way... except the new one is about a quarter-inch smaller on all sides! it seemed really weird to me! And sure enough, the isbns are different, too. I do wonder what the purpose is, of putting out a book and then putting out the same book with barely smaller dimensions... but I'm sure there must have been a good reason for it, and besides, I got to add a new (however slightly) different alice to my collection!
Ooh, and I realized that at borders, you can order books and have them delivered in the store... without having to ask an employee. I'm all about self-service kiosks, so that made me happy. I ordered 2 alices.
I wanted to order this one that was illustrated by mary engelbreit, who I love, but it said I couldn't because it was out of print. Well, I went home and looked it up online, and really, it just hasn't even been put out yet! It comes out later this month.
I bought this really cute doll that's disney's alice as a toddler. She comes with a little cheshire cat and teaparty stuff. It's adorable. I had to whip out the credit card for an impulse buy on that one. I knew I'd regret not getting her, so I'm glad I did, especially because I later looked for her online and only found her on amazon for $40! I paid about $17 for mine (yay walmart! Again! Lol!)
And this past saturday, I got more work done on my alice sleevie. I'm tired of trying to describe it, so I'm going to plan on posting pictures when I take some!
That's all!
