    Default 12 days of Christmas DD is killin me

    1. You know its bad but you do it anyway....2 DD orders in less than 24 hours.....enough said on that one.
    2. You use the excuse to go to the ladies to stop and check out the DD... after midnight CST....
    3. You know for a fact how many precuts you have on your shelf but since it is such a GREAT deal...see #1
    4. You anxiously await tomorrows DD at 19 am wondering if it will be sooooo good as the previous two DD....

    Now if any of the above four things have have happened to you don't feel too bad just know that you have a fellow passenger in your boat with you and that you saved so money by thinking ahead...( even though you don't know what you will do with a second mini tumbler template....it was free).

    I am happy to say my budget is sooo tight at the moment I have to wait till Friday payday to buy even one more thing. No dipping into savings allowed. Whew!

    But it is killing me........

    Oh man.... why o why did I agree to a Fabric Fast THIS time of year???

    And I can not pass up reading the cute story, THEN must look at the DD! Wonder if they can Brown Paper bag it and send "from a friend" so hubby wouldn't know?

    (((Hugs))) We will get through these 12 days, a little broke but with a TON of too good to pass up... ok must look at tonight's

    I'm having DD regret. I wanted to buy the Edges jelly roll when it was the DD (maybe a week ago?) because the colors would work well in my repainted/new furniture added living room. But I let it go, and now wish I had bought one. Do they ever repeat the DD? I can justify buying it if it's on sale. Sure I can.

    Yes and No about repeating the DD. Sometimes the same fabric is offered in a different cut - instead of a charm pack a layer cake, something like that.

    That does sometimes happen.... I have two Ellie Ann charm ops is, and am hoping for either a jelly roll or a layer cake to come up.

    DD's are dangerous to my tiny budget.... I'm hopeless, though.... It's the first thing I check out every morning. It doesn't come at midnight here... Not sure what time, actually.

    Oh... Let's just admit it.... We are ALL hooked on the DD....whether we can buy it, if not... We HAVE to know what it us... Every day...

    Hello there Homie! (I'm from NE Ohio) . Just what I need another Internet thing to be addicted to, LOL - finding out the DD and then figuring out how to get DH to see the need; oh yeah, the need.

    Oh wait! I'm new to quilting so OF COURSE there is a need for more fabric. Didn't he read the sign in my sewing room, "Whoever dies with the most fabric wins!"

    I used to check the DD every morning after breakfast, now it is before I even get out of bed. I have my tablet next to the bed. Always tell hubby I am checking the weather for today! Which I do after checking the DD. I think the current 12 days of Christmas is addictive, have to have that story for each day. I am holding out for the best deal of the 12 days. Which will most likely be one of the ones I pass on.

    And these DD which are sew irresistible and difficult for us to resist, they make GREAT stocking stuffers for DD and DIL and anyone else you know that could use them.

    Sew I have intentionally ordered extra thimbles and templates and charm packs just for that.
    Then with the DH ask about me spending sew much money at M* , I can tell him, I was getting Christmas presents for me and other people...

    I feel your pain! And - do you really know how may precuts you have? If you do, you are way more organized than I am!
