Don’t know if I am posting in time for the giveaway, but I generally avoid Black Friday by making a list of all the things I might buy on Black Friday about a week before, and then crossing them off one by one as I realize that I don’t actually need any of the things on the list!

I went shopping only once… at noon and got some memory for the computer for free. There is no way I would miss on my beauty sleep to go shopping!

I’ve definitely been a black friday shopper in the past…but I NEVER have gone during the crazy, early morning hours. Haven’t gotten to go the past three years since living overseas. We just go to the Christmas markets instead!

OMG, so many comments. Crazy.

We didn’t have any special black friday sales here in New Zealand, but maybe I was just oblivious. No matter, I have 3 birthdays and Christmas to buy for, so I’m not allowed any new fabric till at least January.

Yup, shopped on black friday. Nothing super fun to report. I was with my girls so that was the best part. Thanks for the chance to own some Heather Ross fabric. I love your blog and your work is wonderful.

So, on Black Friday we were driving 3 hours north to St. Louis for the weekend’s Rock’n'Roll Craft Show. I was pretty excited and suggested we go to the Galleria Mall to see what kind of deals we could get. And I was forbidden. Well, I wasn’t the one driving, so maybe “not indulged” would be more accurate. We compromise at going Saturday morning instead, and I find an amazing dress I HAVE to have at Urban Outfitters, for full price, of course. I purchase it and am quite pleased all the ride home at my find.

But…what do I find on urbanoutfitters.com later that night? The same dress at half the price?? Well I never…

I did Black Friday shopping very, very wrong! But I wore the dress Saturday night anyway and looked great maybe I’ll buy a second one off the website, you’re always supposed to buy 2 of anything you love, right?!

Visited family out of town this Thanksgiving, so no Black Friday deals for me. I might be enticed only for some very sure deals of some very desirable item. It hasn’t happened yet. I love your sense of style and you’ve inspired me to make my first twin bed-sized quilt for my son’s “big boy” room. The main fabric will be Alexander Henry “I am Robot Man.” Also planning to make your napkins (tutorial from Sew Mama Sew) for a Christmas gift. Thank you!

We normally do not take part in the Black Friday madness, but this year ToysRUs had a deal on a Little Tykes Bouncer… you know those things people rent for their children’s parties that blow up and then the kids bounce, do flips, and squeal with glee. Well our little girl had one at her last birthday party (her grandparents like to spoil), and has not stopped talking about it. Well at $150 for a 5-star personal bouncer, how could Santa (a.k.a. Dad) go wrong. So Thanksgiving after all the dishes are done and everyone is fast asleep, we head out to ToysRUs to stand in line for their Midnight opening. The line to get into the store at 10pm was already, and this is no exaggeration, about a city block long. As we stand there for about an hour the line continues to grow and suddenly all the yummy rich Thanksgiving food is no longer sitting well in my stomach. I feel nauseous, but we must forge ahead in order to secure this as the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER; however the nausea is quickly breaking my will. I decide that I must find a bathroom double quick, but at 11 pm on Thanksgiving there is no bathroom open except that of a gas station across the street. Whilst heaving my delicious Thanksgiving meal into a toilet I would never venture to sit on double wrapped let alone have my face close to, it begins to rain… I return green faced to a soaked Santa, both of us ready to throw in the towel… but wait! It’s midnight and people are being let in the store… surely we can last a few minutes more. A half an hour later we headed home empty handed after being told that that was among the first items to go… Sick, wet and tired we arrive home. I put the kettle on for tea, and Santa bless his sweet heart turns on the computer. We find the aforementioned Little Tykes bouncer on sale, at Wal-Mart no less, for $200, with free site to store shipping and happily click purchase. That was a first and last for us… HOWEVER, I have been trying to get my hands on that banana seat bicycle fabric for Quite Some Time and could probably be coerced into another round of green, rain soaked shopping for a chance to win a fat quarter.
Hope you had a wonderful Holiday.
