This new challenge will probably have no end because I am addicted to online shopping.
These are just two of my recent purchaes on Amazon.
Challenge: Shop and Sketch
Using my iPad; sketching my iPad
Although it has served me well, my laptop occupied too much valuable real estate on my table. Granted it was sleek and not heavy. Moreover, with it’s 17” screen, just a glance up from writing or sketching, I could see a link, some info, a photo or or watch a video with ease.
I have a smaller laptop, but it needs a new battery, which I planned to buy when I return from vacation in August.
Last month though, my husband gave me an iPad as an early birthday gift (my birthday is September 17th) and now the laptop sits in its case in the corner. I have no doubt that I’ll pull it out sometimes, because I miss it and I will want to switch thingS up every now and then and work on a larger screen.
It’s my first experience with an Apple product and it takes a little getting used to but it’s been fun and interesting exploring its amazing features. It would not have been my choice but the rose-colored exterior is growing on me.
Expanded online shopping in the time of COVID-19
As a long-time online shopper, I didn’t feel lost when COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown hit. In fact, I upped my game from buying art, craft, journaling supplies, kitchen and tech gadgets to include grocery items, toiletries, clothes, shoes, handbags. (and just about everything in between) online. And I’ve been buying most of these items from local businesses who have included online shopping – for curbside pickup and delivery – to their customers and clients.
I hope they continue because I’m really loving it.
So, because I’ve been getting quite a few home deliveries, I have a dedicated face mask that I can grab and put on when I hear that horn. It hangs on the back of a chair, which is just steps away from door. I grab it, put it on and then wash it as soon as I come back inside with my packages/bags.
Just life – discovering and developing skills
My favourite son-in-law has discovered a knack for baking bread. He’s having so much fun developing his newly-discovered bread-making skills by adding all kinds of healthy ingredients.
As a bread-lover, I am honoured to get hot loaves several times a week.
