I know what you are facing. I have made a vow that I will NOT buy anything online, ESPECIALLY at the shophop. Those shop owners are wicked and know that we are at their mercy!!!!! Especially since we have a holiday and even more time to see all those fabrics. Walk away from the computer. :cry: :cry:

Step one, buy a half gallon of ice cream.
Step two, eat the ice cream
Step three, fill the container with water and freeze just till slushy
Step four, insert credit card into slush
Step five, freeze till solid.
Step six, THEN do the Fab Shop Hop.
Repeat above steps for each credit card.

LOL Nice paulswalia. I started doing the shop hop too, and I had to fight the same urge as well. So many pretties!

That's a good idea paulswalia. I also need to figure where to have the booty shipped. I just got my order of Sew Fine thread from Superior Thread. Excellent customer service. Ordered one day and shipped the same day. arrived in 2 days. Wow, what service, and I didn't even use the fast shipping. My DH is still complaining about my shopping habits, so I went to the LQS and snuck it into the house. He will never learn to keep his mouth shut!!! I worked for many years, and it's my money too.

I love the buy the half gallon ice cream (but do you realize that most half Gallons of ice cream is usually 1.75 gallons & eat it - which if it is Walmart's Mocha Mudslide - I can do that in 1 sitting - but the rest of it is soooooooooooooo saddddddddddddd! But I might try it.

Oh wow, susie-susie-susie are you my twin? DH just can't get it, I worked hard for "our" money too! If he comes back from one more gun show saying it was too good of a deal to pass up I just might be tempted to learn how to use it!! Just kidding :lol: but come on, how many guns does it take to shoot a deer? I figure just as many sewing machines it takes to make a quilt :-D
Off to find somewhere new to stash my latest purchases ......
