    I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will check back in this evening.
    Now I feel really blessed! We have TWO Hancock's, a Hobby Lobby and a Joann's. Plus we have that huge "Best Fabrics" warehouse store where I pick up fat quarters for $1.00 each! That $1 is a set price! :D
    I have a Joanns, Hancocks and Hobby Lobby all in the same shopping center. How wonderful is that? Sandy

    Here is another funny that a snatched from another thread again.

    You know it's time for a diet when:
    ******************************
    You dive into a swimming pool so your friends can go surfing.
    `
    You have to apply your makeup with a paint roller.
    `
    Weight Watchers demands your resignation.
    `
    You step on a pennyweight scale that gives you your fortune and it says,
    "One at a time please!"
    `
    Your face is so full that you look like you're wearing horn-rimmed
    contact lenses.
    `
    The bus driver asks you to sit on the other side because he wants to
    make a turn without flipping over.
    `
    You're at school in the classroom and turn around and erase the entire
    blackboard.
    `
    They throw puffed rice at your wedding.
    `
    You hiccup in your bathing suit, and it looks like someone adjusting a
    venetian blind.
    `
    You fall down and try to get up, and in the process rock yourself to
    sleep.

    I'm still working on the 10 pounds the bad medicine gave me last Friday. It went on overnight, but is slowly coming off. I doubt I'll have all of it gone by the end of the month, but at least some of it is dissipating. Provokes me terribly! AFter working so hard all month.

    My mama says don't eat what you can't pronounce! She is talking about ingredients, but maybe "foreign" foods also! LOL!

    Keep on working at it. All we've got to lose is pounds!

    Carrie, although Joanns, Hancocks and Hobby Lobby are all in the same shopping center, they are 30 minutes away. Needless to say I don't go there often. I'll be glad when my knee heals completely and I feel like shopping again (and my knee will hold out). Before I have gone into Hancocks, checked prices and sales on things, then gone to Joanns. Took quite a while to do this, but I was able to get the best sales this way.

    I ordered a 4 pk omnigrid from Joanns, over the weekend. They had a 4 1/2, 6 1/2, 9 1/2 and 12 1/2, all for $20.99. That is a good price as usually the 12 1/2 by itself is almost that price. Anxious for them to arrive.

    Wow! That is a great price for those. I'm on the search for a 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 at a price I can afford. There was someone who was gonna have her husband cut 1 for me for a trade but she wasn't doing very well mentally and haven't seen her around for a while. Oh well!! I'm gonna check out a quilt shop that I stumbled upon. It's out in the county so I hope it's worth the drive. I hope your knee heals quickly. It's got to be bummer not being able to walk much.

    I found one of those Suzanne summers thigh buster things at the thrift shop for .50 cents. I used it and it's hard to squeeze that thing with my flabby thighs. I am almost afraid it might pop out and hurt someone. LOL!!

    That is a great find! Did you order them from Joanns online? I will have to check that out!
