I'd wait until the pajama sale and use it then-more bang for your buck!!! Congratulations! Keep the Hubby!

I plan to keep the hubby. He's great. My granddaughter loves the boat, too. I usually let her pic one fq to buy and she uses if for something for her dolls. I know that part of the money will be spent on the new Audra's Iris Garden collection. That's the most beautiful fabric I've seen in a long time. I have bought a layer cake so I can see samples of the fabric line rather than just pictures.

I would love to go there. It looks like about a 4 hour drive for me:-( I was just on the website the pajama sale is Feb 2. My SIL and I sometimes go away for a long weekend. Maybe we need to go there? I will talk to her about it. Great Gift sounds like you husband is a keeper. I got $200 cash to buy sewing stuff. My DH says he is afraid to go in a fabric store. He says they don't allow men in there. Enjoy!

You should wait until the pajama sale in February. You must be there at 6 a.m. and you must be dressed in your pjs and the deals are great.

Hi, Karen. WE used to live in Warsaw, Indiana, and tried going to Shipshewana one time, but was in traffic for over an hour and my father-in-law got quite restless. We have a friend in Nappanee who mentioned Lolly's to us and if I live long enough, I'm going to go there. When we lived up there, Shipshewana was the place to go. Be sure and tell us about your trip there, and from what I understand - you need to plan on a full day.

The traffic used to be worse than it is now. The recession etc has slowed it down. There are several other places to go too. Yoder's Dept. Store and Specter's. Now a new place in Middlebury near Essenhause. Small quilting store with a long arm. Also one in LaGrange. Gotta hit them all. It's a State of Indiana rule.

You must eat at The Blue Gate, and then at Essenhause. Be sure to try the chicken and the roast beef. Shopping makes me hungry.

How do you do it? Get your family to give you gift cert., I mean. I hint and hint and hint and I get blouses that don't fit, aren't my style and whine up in the 'good will' bag. I hate standing in line to exchange things. This year I got a ton of dried fruit, cheeses, and dried meat. They know I am an overweight diabetic. I have a nice size stash but who among us couldn't use a little more.
