Me too. I am not opening the box until Christmas.

Things are tight here. dh had to take a 20% cut in pay 5 yrs ago. he is there for 29 yrs. no word on a raise this year either so i'm going cheap this year. I'm getting a manicure tomorrow for a treat for me.

I ordered a new sectional sofa for living room--really needed more comfortable seating for ME! So when it comes in mid-Feb, my son's family gets the sofa and MOST uncomfortable recliner you've ever sat in! I did make a Christmas quilt just for me--that's a first!

My gift to myself was a Singer 301 in a cabinet with bench that I found at an estate sale last weekend. $50? Yes, please!

I bought myself a new Kitchenaid mixer. The Professional 600 with a 6 1/2 quart mixing bowl. My other passion right after quilting is baking!

I just did this for myself after Thanksgiving. I am now in a spare bedroom but can keep my ironing board set up 24 hours and don't have to clean off the dining table each time we have guests for dinner.

As far as a gift to myself... I have registered for several Long Arm classes for the New England MQX show April 6-9. I loved it so much last year that I talked a friend into joining me and we are going to stay a couple days.
