Shop Hop Update

We made it to all twelve shops (some we even went to twice), but we didn't win any of the prizes. I managed to stay really close to my budget and get some very nice fabric and patterns (of course). We decided that from what we saw of the stores we visited, next year we will probably NOT go to all twelve stores (gas is way too high even though I just bought a hybrid car.) We would rather spend the extra time and money that we spent staying over in Austin at the fabric stores that we REALLY like which are in Kerrville and even San Antonio. Actually, my previously favorite store in SA (still my favorite) has now opened an EVEN BIGGER location and it's better than ever! The worst/best part is that now they are on the way home from work, which is just great if I have to pick up a few things. Austin is a nice town to visit but next time we'll go when it is not part of the shop hop so we don't feel so rushed. That's all for today's random thought. Until next time...
