Why would you feel guilty? You're replenishing your supplies that were actually used up. That's commendable, not wasteful. The ones who need to feel guilty (all of us sometimes) that order more than we need and just add to the already overloaded supplies. Have some ice cream and enjoy the time off while you wait for your shipment.

What's life if you can't reward yourself? I just bought myself the Viking Ruby because I deserve it. One of my daughter's friends once commented to me in a grocery store when I went to buy proscuitto that it was expensive. I told him he was looking at it all wrong; that when I want to buy something I only asked two questions first can I afford it and the second am I worth it; the answer to the second question is ALWAYS "YES". If we don't think we are worth rewards why would anyone else.

GUILT? You have come to the right place to affirm that you should NOT feel guilty. I don't think that there are many of us feel guilty, especially since most of our quilty projects are done for others. No guilt here when it comes to my quilting. :thumbup:

I definately reward myself but it just depends on the mood I'm in at the time. If I just happen(Yea right) to be close to the quilt shop I head for the sale room. If I don't find anything there I look until something just jumps out at me or look on the interney or catalog for something I can't live with out.
