005 // no one's got it all

you know what's the hardest part of planning?

having all of these ideas and then when you try to implement them it becomes a task and a half because finding the materials in your area is ridiculous!

i've been looking for purple cardstock and have been having trouble doing so. you'd think that a popular colour like (dark plum) purple would be easy to find. it's a pretty in demand colour i would think! but apparently not. the only cardstock of purple i can find is pastel lavendar/violet coloured purple and when i finally do find the colour i'm looking for, it's part of a combo pack that has other useless colours and only 10 sheets of the purple and they want upwards of $30 for it. *sighz*

why do they like making it hard for people in canada to find materials? and companies being dumb and only shipping within the us. there's a fantastic site that i would buy a gazillion items from, but alas, it only ships within the us and leaves me stuck with having to scrounge around trying to find items here (and without any luck sometimes, crushing dreams!).

anyway. i'm going to try visiting a store called paperland today and see if they have any purple cardstock that i can purchase. they open at 10am *boo* but this week i'm doing lunches at work so i'll have to go back in about an hour... so i'll have to try and visit the place after and then make it back for my afternoon shift. blah. let's just hope they have what i'm looking for and will sell me my cardstock!!
