    Default What's that saying? If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't...

    Last Friday I ordered the Home for the Holidays Layer Cake and paid $34.95. Today it is the daily deal for $21.45... I also ordered the 10" Layer Cake Tumbler and paid $17.95 and today it is part of the weekly deal for $15.45... I got them in the mail yesterday. The only difference is they sent the 10" Half Hexagon by mistake...

    Ugh... I think I need a tissue or chocolate or both. Boo-hoo.

    Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance.

    My kind of luck, too. But, that is one Beautiful Layer Cake! I am only buying charm packs of Christmas fabric this year or I would be tempted.

    But it IS charm packs - 4 of them - for $21.45 Or it will be after you make two simple cuts.

    Amy - that is true but I paid $34.95 instead of today's DD of $21.45.

    I've done the same thing before too. As for this DD, I am so tempted, but using discipline and holding off. It sure is pretty.

    Amy, I AM drinking coffee and almost made the same post. Gerri, my luck is like yours......if I wait, it's gone, if I don't, it goes on sale. My solution is get it while I can because I hate kicking myself in the butt for losing something I really, really wanted. Your glass is full sweetie, cause you GOT 'EM!!!!!

    Now we just have to watch Gerrie in addition to Jean. If you've been watching Jean, when she buys something it will turn up on the daily deal in a few days or so. Gerrie, next time you order something give us a heads up so we can catch the DD when it happens!! Jean's barometer almost always seems right on!

    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Sandy - I will be sure to do that!! I always try to wait to buy something I really like until it is the DD and Friday's DD was the free shipping so in my wee bitty mind I thought, heck, that's $5.00 off!! And I had the 10" Tumbler Template on my wish list and again, my wee bitty mind told me it may be a long time before the 10" Tumbler Template became a DD so I added it to my order. Now I am waiting for M* to respond to my email about the wrong template. I already have the 10" Hexagon Template so I need to send it back...

    As for Jean - I would love to be like Jean in her quilting capabilities but doubt that will ever happen so guess being like her DD barometer will have to suffice!!

    Thanks for making me smile, Sandy, I needed that!!
