Kimberly, Rhonda - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

**homesteadmamma** · 01-14-2006, 06:40 PM

Okay ladies, you need to get here quickly. I'm in a bad way......I had to go to the quilting store to pick up my $10 quilt block (I paid $10 for the first block 4 months ago, n/c for the rest).

I did really well until I spotted some material I just had to have.....it was calling me......I had some strength to resist.....I kept thinking of the challenge SOMEONE started here.......I had little strength to resist.......I wondered what Rhonda and Kimberly would say.......I had less strength to resist.......Chelsey kept trying to stop me.......the strength was completely gone and the till rang up.......$86.00 later I walked out grinning from ear to ear, happy as a lark, knowing that I had totally pampered myself and I didn't have one bit of regret ........ not even any guilt.

Now I need to find a way to tell dh.

Hmmmm might stay hidden for awhile.

Oh, boy. Well, Rhonda, I think we've found CJ's Achille's Heel. Now, we just have to put this info to use somehow....

Enjoy your fabric, CJ. You'd better make something wonderful with it!

CJ I was there with you today. I went to Hobby Lobby to get a couple of stickers to work on my scrapbook album. I had tried to swap with friends before going. No one had the one I was wanting. Well of course had to browse. Went by the fabric section. You guessed it I got me some. DD was even trying to tell me not to. Luckily I used my GC from Christmas. But now it is staring at me.

Hmmmm, I might have to have a little talk to Chelsey. She needs more strength to withstand the attack. I can imagine that you in a fabric shop would be an awesome sight, CJ. Did Chelsey survive the experience or is she traumatised?

I wonder who started that challenge...........

Enjoy your fabric, CJ.

Kimber, looks like its just us two, matey.

**homesteadmamma** · 01-14-2006, 07:20 PM

I know what I'm making with mine. I've lost the challenge for sure in the "January no spending challenge". It was worth it though.

Michelle, you should see the material. I'll try to remember to post a picture tomorrow.

Kellie, glad you had a gc to use.

I'm telling you ladies though, this quilting store is going to be the downfall of me. The material is something else. The books and magazines are to die for. The quilts that are hanging on the walls are spectacular. It also helps they have 2 of the nicest ladies I've met that work there. The only good thing going for me is that I'm one hour away from it. Dang good thing I'm not any closer.

Rhonda, I'm going to regret starting that challenge I think.

It was so funny, I'm saying "shoosh" to Chelsey and Michelle (the clerk) is trying to figure out who that is. When she seen the two of us, she knew immediately. I had told her at the beginning of the year I had plans to not buy any material until mine were all used up. She just chuckled when she seen the bolts Chelsey was carrying.

I hear ya CJ! My turns coming soon, it will be spring and the garden center will be opening

My self control will be nonexsistant. I'm gonna need help

I can't wait to see your fabric.

Life is for living. Save in one area to splurge in another. All I have to say is....Enjoy with no regrets.

LOL, I know what you mean! I went shopping yesterday and Joann's had some quilter's choice fabric on sale for $.99 a yard. I got 2 yards of 5 different fabrics for only $10.00!!! They also had their remnants for 75% off. I got tons of remnants, enough to make a bunch of table runners for gifts for only $4.00. Thank goodness all of my overtime is done, so I can start working on some of these items.

Have a great day!!

CJ, I'm so jealous! I want new fabric so badly, but am resisting any temptaion to walk into a quilting store! Ugh! Enjoy your new fabric!

guest7 · 01-19-2006, 09:12 AM

I know how that happens!! But enjoy that fabric none the less. I have been avoiding JoAnn fabrics because I am so afraid to splurge.
We'd love to see the pics of the fabric.

**Mamaw** · 01-19-2006, 08:45 PM

enjoy! It sounds like you already have gotten so much pleasure just from selecting it that I can hardly imagine the pleasure you will get from sewing with it. Have fun and make something wonderful!
