I thought this was going to be a story about bad customer service.....

Glad you kept yourself in check.

I actually had AWESOME customer service.

I couldn't find the BSA fabric, and I even called to see if they had it. The lady evenutally found it.

I was also looking for cheerleading fabric, and the girl walked around, and just as I was cashing out she said she found a blanket panel for me, and would that work.... it's for my neighbour, so I figure when I go back next weekend I'll either buy it or not.

I have 3 different areas in my house that I have fabric, but I also have a stash in our paid storage warehouse. I need to get a handle on of that before I can buy more!

What great willpower. Much better than mine. I went to get some Kona cotton and ended up with way to much. I need to go shopping with you.

I am SOOOO glad I am not alone. I felt so guilty about hiding stuff, well sort of guilty.

Great job! Me, my stash is too small so I get to go a little crazy when fat quarters are $1. I got 15 of them last week. But hey, that's still only $15 which isn't too bad.

Hey, guys, the story isn't over yet!

She didn't mention everything she wanted that "we" know she will soon go back for!

Good job!

I wasn't quite as successful...Had to go to Ft Worth to pick up a 16'x24' tarp for the roof of the booth and my friend and I just 'had' to check out Hancocks and Joannes on the way home. I managed to get out of Hancocks for just over $30 by only looking at what was on sale. At Joannes on the other hand...one piece on sale (got all 5-3/4 yd) and one I couldn't resist that wasn't on sale but was what my friend calls 'drop dead gorgeous'...got 2 yd of it since I really don't know exactly what I'm going to use it for but couldn't bring myself to get more at full price
