Mad -- go to the show with so much cash--leave the credit cards at home. Tell hubby not to bail you out. Enjoy looking at all the wonderful goodies. You can do it.
Princess -- I'm sorry about your machine and hope it will be a cheap fix.
Calla -- buying non-fabric items doesn't count for this moratorium. I interpret things strictly.
I behaved myself on CT -- purchased $58.00 of the Kaleidoscope fabric. And yes, I feel good about staying close to birthday money. Although I was also given $70 in Amazon gift cards. I love my friends but wish they'd quit giving Amazon cards and switch to fabric sites!
