Most of us have very large stashes that are easily shared. As I near a milestone birthday in May, I have to wonder if I could ever possibly sew through everything I own. Do take a few moments to go back over the posts this month and you will see a lot of ways that you can get quite a bit for very little. Be creative! Add something homemade like most of us do.
I don't shop! I have enough in this house since I closed the business to keep swaps going for years! However, in today's market a pattern is $9-$10 now and most FQ's in shops are up to $3.50! NOT going to buy those myself, but some might have to! My whole point was "WHO" feels slighted if everyone is sending is way beyond the $10 gift items? I guess I just don't understand the slighted part! I don't tend to send a big box full of magazine pages, candy, etc, but I do pick nice items geared to the person I am sending to!
