It's been a great morning.
First of all, coming down from my high yesterday, when I had good friends over on and off, I figured today would be a bit of a let down.... but oh no!
Yesterday my girlfriend Cathy showed me a lovely book of patterns her mother-in-law gave her for Christmas. It's an Amy Butler binder with 25 different projects and they all looked pretty simple but delightfully fun. So, I thought, "Hmmm, that's something else I need to save up for!", right?
Skip to this morning: Well, couple of months ago Scott found in the deep dark recesses of his office, an old $50 Barnes & Noble gift card he received as a rep in Kentucky like 4 years ago. We thought it was surely expired, but when I tentatively tried to use it this morning online, it totally worked!! I was able to get not just one, but two Amy Butler pattern books for $49.10. Yippee!!!!
I am thankful for free stuff?
Why doesn't Martha have pattern books yet? I'll ask her next time we play Scrabble.

There is nothing like a sweet chunk of money coming out of nowhere! My MIL loves Amy Butler fabrics. I wonder if she has even see those two pattern books. I will have to let her know about them. Yeah for your good day two days in a row!!!
That's so much better than finding a quarter in the washing machine--which, by the way, totally makes me happy!
I love putting on my winter coats for the first time and finding a wad of cash!!!!!!!
Yeah, I can't wait to see them!
I heart free stuff!!
I lloovve Amy Butler fabric- we have a store here in town that carries a lot of her stuff- let me know if you have a really cool one. I have several purse patterns that I have made- and I love them but they are not cheap to make with her fabrics!!!
Um....where's the "Thankful for Amazing Sisters Thursday" post?
It's up your butt and around the corner.
Lucky girl!! 2009 is your year for sure :)
and I almost peed my pants when I read your comment above hee hee :) We really need to meet in real life...
up your what and around who's corner.. I can't wait to meet you someday..
Good one.
Hi! The book I was reading (and unfortunately didn't finish before it was due back at the library) was "The Secret History of the Pink Carnation" my friend really liked it but I didn't get very far into it- it was just a busy time without a lot of reading. I am hoping to check it out again. I am also reading "A Gift From the Sea" and so far I really like it. Now we can be book twins, too :) Happy reading!!
