my lqs is also having a super bowl sale at 30% off everything. they are opening one hour earlier so we can shop before we need to be at the parties. just evil. i officially have no money to go back there and shop on super bowl sunday so...... i gotta find that credit card of mine. it's been hiding for some time. it has no balance on it. that card is just teasing me. what's a girl to do.
just so you know how desparate i am, uh i mean overstimulated i was, i gave up my credit card habit over 12 years ago, i'm straight cash wherever i go so to go find my credit card..... i think i may need an intervention. there was sooo much wonderful fabric in my lqs, all of those bright colors beaconing to me. helllppppppp!!!!!!

Spent WAY too much time and money preshopping, but I got lots of neat goodies, and did lots of drooling. I am trying to wean myself away from fabric purchases for awhile, but couldn't resist. m

One does not like Lori's favorite prints. Or my favorite prints
They both do things with needles - other than sewing.
No one knows who they are. Not even me.
And the poor things have no fur babes.

Hey Sweet Lady ~ Just talked with our daughter who lives near you to ask about how she was doing with the storm. She said we're fine, we're headed out the door in a few minutes to go up to Vail to go ice fishing and skiing!!!!!!! Something about drilling a hole in the ice and sitting waiting for a fish to come along escapes me???? This winter sport didn't come from my gene pool..... LOL
Take care my friend, stay home warm, toasty surrounded by your stash...now that's my kind of lady!!!!

I may be stuck sitting at home today, we have a winter

inches of snow. In some areas they already have 17".
IF I do stay home from work, than it will give me a chance
to really work on my packages. I have purchased so many
new goodies for stuffing into the boxes.
Now I know there was a couple people who was wanting
to get one of those "purple thangs" but I did not see it
listed on any of my sp's lists, so I don't know if I should
go ahead and include one or not. Oh well I will set them
next to the boxes and see how the box is looking.
MAYBE next week I can get them into the mail.

Freeze that puppy in a block of ice!!!! Don't succumb to the temptation 12 years of keeping that pledge isn't worth the draw of one sale....you hang in there girlfriend and then on Monday when so many are hung over with regret, or worse yet, 30 days later when that darned window envelope comes in to greet you in your mail ~ you can still be happy dancing that you resisted temptation!!!!! JMHO :0)

You're going to love this swap but I'm warning you it is an addictive group of quilters. Worry not about disappointing your SP when I first joined a few months ago, I researched previous months swaps for ideas where a lot of pictures are posted of packages received. All swaps are so varied and unique just like everyone of us.
After you've been here a while you will see some very sneaky members who try to lure you into their spider webs of trickery to get you to reveal who, what and where SP are going....soon as you've already exampled in your replies you will notice who they are and what they are up to. You ARE a quick learner and will fit right in! I didn't catch on as fast as you! LOL
But you can trust me, above all....just let me know who your SP is and I will keep 'our' little secret.
