    I'll show you layer, dug into my stash and found some Grinch fabric. It's way cute but is so tricky to put it together because each piece needed to be fussy cut and they are different sizes. It was beyond my skill level when I bought it 3 years ago, but I've learned a few tricks since then, and I got it going.. I think it will be good. Way scrappy, but that's OK.

    It's good to shop your stash, but I did get some stuff from M* on their Black Friday sale.

    I was good. Mostly because I was bad at J's on Wednesday.

    DH and I went out about noon. We still got what he wanted from the Black Friday ad. I did stroll thru Joanns but left empty-handed.
    i had gone in on Wed for their pre sale and picked up a couple things I wanted.

    Then I moseyed on over in my 'slippers' to JoAnns 'n loaded my cart with some bargains including a good pair of pinking shears (50% off!!!) to reach $50 for free shipping - BUT found you can't use 2 coupons (who knew that, I'm new at this!), so I called to complain - my eyesight isn't good enough to read all that fine print - nice girl told me no dice on 2 coupons 'n I didn't want to 'lean on her the day after Thanksgiving' so I asked for Spvsr. She said I'd get a c/b later.
    Then I took a little spin on over to Amazon with my Cart list from JoAnns and got several items as low as or cheaper than JA's w/ free 2-day shipping.
    Left my JA's order just sitting waiting to see what happens. Later did get a c/b from Spvsr @ JA's (very nice young lady) who apologized for misleading email ad and waived shipping on what was left of my order (under $50 now). I thanked her profusely knowing she really didn't have to do that, especially after I gave Amazon part of her order!!
    So, I'm just exhausted from shopping all day 'n I'll have to hide the credit card bill when it comes from my DH - just don't know how to hide the pkgs, he always checks for pkgs and gets the mail!?!?!? I may be in trouble!! "B"
    bscuzz...sounds like you had a great day! I totally forgot about Amazon and Joann's. But then again, my budget tells me what to remember..as well as my husband.... and not necessarily in that order! But I have to say..those Wonder Clips are pretty cool. I bought some at Joann's with a 50% coupon and at first thought they were more trouble than they were worth, but then with working with them...I find they are pretty handy...especially for holding down the binding. And for holding fabrics together that are "intending" to be sewn together..kind of like a quilters binder clip!

    Cheri, haven't done it yet 'cause haven't even 'sewed' yet (still cutting and making sandwiches) but was planning to use the little 'binder clips' - I have an abundance left over fm 'working days'. Maybe they'll work, maybe not. I'll try the wonder clips, then probably get hooked . . and there ya go . . . . the retailers have our number?!?!?! I have an idea for a product that'll make me $$$$$$$. My biggest complaint when sewing is all the pcs of thread accumulating around the SM (it's my AC/DC . . oops, I mean my ADD I guess). Anyway, my idea is a wristlet with peel off masking tape strips, only with 'sticky side out' (working on that??), then all you have to do is grab them little buggers and slap 'em on your wrist 'n when it gets full, peel one off and go to the next!!! Seriously, I grab a strip of masking tape and wrap it backward and plop it on the table nx to my SM to keep them threads stuck in place!!! If anybody uses my "thread catcher" prototype I get royalties on any proceeds!?!?!? Oops, off message AGAIN. Anxious to try the Wonder Clips! "B"
    NC sayin's from my mama n' daddy, a reminder, lest I forget:

    ~I’m gonna tan your hide. (You’re about to get a whoopin’.)
    ~set yourself down a spell ~~every day of the week n' twice on Sundays
    ~knock you clean into next week n' then some ~~deader than a door nail
    ~can't get blood from a turnip ~~your neck o'the woods
    ~You're just playing possum (pretendin' to be asleep when you didn't want to get up n' go to school)

    I took advantage of the crafty sale. Really good discounts on some Laundy Basket fabrics and some rulers I wanted.
