I was careful not to tell my DH about my "find". He would say I have so much fabric that I definetly don't need any more. But I say there is always room for more fabrics, lol.

When you mentioned finding the box of your fabric and feeling like you got new fabric, it reminded me of a neighbor who suggested putting about 1/3 of the kids toys in a box or bag, another 1/3 in another box or bag and let them play with remaining 1/3 for a while. She said after a few months bring out one of the bags or boxes and replace with the current toys. She said her kids always felt like they had new toys. Thanks for the unintentional reminder, she was a sweet lady.

Willa, my SIL used to do that with her kids' toys. My kids didn't have nearly as many toys, so I never tried it. Worked with her kids, though.

That is always fun!

I'm sure I have some that I've forgotten about stashed away!
