I just figured out a great way to stretch $10 and make both myself and (hopefully) my secret swap partner very happy!
If I were to say buy those ungodly expensive bobbin washers 12 to a pack for @ $10, I could give two to my secret partner and keep the rest. So, about $1.75 ish on the budget. Then if I were to get a great pack of precut appliques and split it in half, the budget would be up to about $8. What else have I been wanting but not been able to justify buying? Hmmmmmm..... ideas anyone?
Don't worry secret p, I will really try to remember I'm making up a gift for you = )
