Well, I made it 2 whole weeks. My girlfriend also saw the new CT collection. She came over & shopped online. Her Christmas gift to me was some money to spend with her order. I guess I could have purchased a book or a tool, but I had been looking at the Glacier Peak line since it was introduced last year. I got the 10" squares and a yard of one of the snowflake fabrics. I guess it could have been worse... and after all, it was a gift!
