Ugh. I had a gift certificate for one of my local shops (I have 7 in under 45 minutes! Well 7 if you include 2 Mennonite shops - they don't have the ambiance of a LQS, but sure have a lot of fabric at great prices!) and it will expire in a couple of months. The old fashioned, written slip kind of GC, as they don't take credit cards. Rather than lose it, I decided I'd use it as I was just down the road on another errand.
Let's just say that I might have expanded my neutrals a bit. I mean, it's not awful - less than 3 yards, but the GC was only for one of those... Neutrals are my downfall. I love how fun they are now. Little prints, dots, I have no willpower.
