I even found a piece from Moda's Holly's Tree Farm collection to use with the layer cake I won at a guild meeting- bottom left corner of first picture. And how could I possibly pass up those sheep faces? Or the grey dreamcatchers on white? Not bad though, I didn't veer far off the course.
I would say you did well considering your exception. Vacations are difficult, especially when you put material places on your list of things to visit. I guess I am lucky, I haven't had vacation in awhile, so no temptation there. But I do have one more week of my birthday exception and have seen some I really like, but haven't talked myself into it yet. Guess I have done so well so far this year, I am really kicking this habit. Lets see if I fall off the wagon on this and how bad it hurts, lol. This whole thing has been good for me, thanks everyone.
