Any spare cash goes to dog rescue, so very needed.

Accuquilt Go and dies - so my next splurge will be my next die purchase. I'm thinking it will be Wedding Ring. Years ago I told myself I'd never make one, because of all those little pieces to cut out. With the Go, you can cut a whole block's worth of pieces at once. So with a little planning, you could cut the entire quilt out in less than half an hour!

DH and I splurge on small ship cruises. We have decided that we don't like the big ships. Our favorite is Lindblad - expecially their ship Explorer. We're going on their Circumnavigation of the British Isles in May - with an extension to Norway. Both of us have ancestors that came from Bergen.

Yes, to the makeup, just bought Lancome for the first time in 2 years. I swear I feel the difference in my face skin after 2 days of their moisture and lotion.

Also just today bought my first Bali Pop fabric today, that is a treat.

Besides fabric, Gain laundry detergent, I love it!

Kraft mac * cheese is one of my favs.
I cook it the put it in a baking dish and cover with cracker crumbs
then add shredded Kraft cracker barrel cheese over the top and stick under broiler til cheese melts...love it.

Lancome' makeup & facial care and my hair done every 8 weeks. I do have to have Diet Coke and real Coffeemate Lite for my coffee. DH & I splurged yrs ago & bought a coffee dispenser like may fast food places & Casino's have that uses the frozen concentrate Douggwe Egbert (sp?) coffee. Other than this, I am very frugal I think.

Travel. We love to travel to places where we can learn something new about history or culture. Just made reservations to go to Croatia for a week in May.

Have been to Israel, Malta, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Island, Estonia, USA, Canada.

We love to take pictures and make albums for our grands who are being home schooled. We probably learn more than they do.
