    Lots or members know I'm getting ready to start a large wedding quilt, hanky butterflies for my special niece's wedding in June... Well, I've spent time getting them all washed and prepped so I can dive into this project next week...

    Everyone seems to really like the Mary Ellen's Best Pressed... I haven't ever used it, so was heading off to get some... there is a GoodWill right near my destination, and I popped in, gut feeling that something was calling my name.

    Of course, I headed to domestics first, thinking maybe I'd find a Featherweight treasure or something like that... nope, but something still calling my name...

    So I wandered around, we always check for dishes to match our hard-to-match pattern... nope, not that. Looked at some cute dresses for DD ... nope, not that either.

    So, I turn around to look at the beaniebabies for DD, and BAM. like 40 bottles of MEBP! Something told me to stop there first... AND I had one of the GW Customer Appreciation cards already filled, so I got 35% off my measly 1.50 price of each bottle (they are 8 oz. bottles, each with sprayer head, so I bought 15. I think I have enough for my project, plus the rest of my life. YAY!

    (um, don't tell the hubby, I'm probably headed back tomorrow a.m., want to get the rest of 'em ~ although I already blew my savings card today... LOL)... I figured it'll keep on the shelf, right? That's my story, and I'm stickin' 2 it!!!

    And they are small enough to stash here and there, and take with me when I go camping & take quilty projects... and my kids wear school uniforms... and ... and ...

    I buy the big gallon bottles. Yes it will keep. Maybe you can get the same clerk and still get your discount! Although it is still a fantastic price!
