My husband and daughter always laugh together (they think I don't know) that when I get depressed I head to the Dollar Tree. Little do they know that I hit the remnant bins in every fabric store within a day's drive.

This is great. I love to do stuff like that. My feet hurt when I stay home and do house work. When I am hitting the remnent bins all day my feet don't hurt untill I get home.

I hope you had a great day shopping.It is so nice to pick out new patterns and get fresh ideas.I hate having to get meds also.My husband is on three times what I take and Im glad I dont take what he does.I know it bothers him also so it's not just us ladys who hate it.This sight is a great place to vent,we can feel safe in doing so.I live in Az and dont have any family around to talk to.It gets lonly at times.My only sister died in 2006 and my mom 2yrs ago so there arent any females in my family to talk to any more.I have a niece,but she is a Dr and raising her own family.Any way,this is a nice place to visit and know you aren't alone.

Hi Donna - so glad you ordered your meds. Have thought of you more than once since I read your last thread...probably because I can relate to your health problems myself. Have fun with your new loot!

I got fiber fill for the little animals I am making. My turtle is so cute. I got bags of all kinds of handle and strap, ribbons, lace and rick rack, etc for only 99 cents a bag. I got 4 or 5 of those. I found a medium sized hoop I need for cross-stitching, bought some quilting thread and just picked up some odd and ends I found and thought I needed. I only spent $64.00 I am proud of my newbies. I pay for what I get and I get good deals in stores and on here. Thanks ladies and gentlemen for all your understanding. I have no one here to talk to and I have tovent somewhere.
