I didn't brave going to the stores either yesterday or today. However, I did go shopping online at Joann's for my son's girlfriend who has begun to enjoy sewing but she doesn't have a cutting mat, rotary cutter, ruler, etc. So, I went shopping for her for some Christmas gifts and spent $33 -- saved $48 and got free shipping to boot! I might have to go looking again now to see if maybe there is something else I just might "need" tonight for me. LOL
