My trip to the states
 

So although I woke up sick :( I still went to Hobby Lobby after my DD came back from the doctors. We got there at 6pm :eek: and it took over a half an hour to get through the border. Long story longer I got to Hobbt Lobby at 7:50 and then found out they close at 8!! So it was an insane mad dash for the fabric section and the woman said we close in 5 mins so I scanned the fabric and grabbed 2 :( The fabrics were gorgeous and I would have LOVED so time to actually look but oh well. I also grabbed as many rolls of ribbon as I could as 50 percent off was awesome. Here in good old canada 15 ft of ribbon is about 6 bucks and even with a good sale it really adds up. HL had beautiful ribbon MUCH nicer than at Micheals so I grabbed 24 rolls LOL. I will be posting pics tomorrow of what I bought. Also got patterns 3 types doubles of 2. Next time I will be going alone too.

I took my DD and her friend. I ran into HL and she wanted to go to Hot Topic she said that according to the GPS it was .2 kms away so stupid me I said meet me back here I wont be long so be quick. They got back just after 9!!! Oh yeah did I mention HL closes at 8? I was standing there no jacket with pink fabric with black polka dots wrapped around me freezing my butt off! All in all a pretty crappy night LOL.

At least I got all the goods at HL for 43 bucks! And some good deals at Wegmans.

Ahhhh the benefit of posting my rant I feel a little better :) :)

Well first off, I am sorry to hear you woke not feeling well. I hope that you are better now after some retail therapy. :) Looking forward to pics of the ribbons and fabrics when you have a chance!

Oh my! What a night! I am so sorry you had to deal with that and that you had to make a mad dash through Hobby Lobby. I know I have a heck of a hard time spending just an hour in there! But so glad you go to go! I can't wait to see your goodies! Yay for the ribbon too! I love when they put the ribbon on sale! I hope you can go back again soon, just you, and take all the time you want! AND whoo hoo for $43!! That is a sweet deal! Retail therapy rocks! Looking forward to seeing what you create!

What an adventure!! Glad you got there before they closed though, and was able to get some fabric and ribbons!

It's always nice to find these kids of sales, but sure hope you don't get any worse with whatever you have caught!!

how stressful, where do your cross the border at?

We crossed at Lewiston Bridge and that in and of itself was an adventure as my DD forgot her passport!!! Thankfully her drivers licence was sufficent. I still havent taken any pics as I think the combo of being sick and standing outside with no jacket and only a yard of polycotton to keep me warm for over an hour did me in LOL. I am feeling better tonight so will get some pics. I LOVE the selection of ribbon available in the states!!! SO much nicer than the Micheals here in Canada. We Canadians do get short changed in the selection department :) So HOPEFULLY I will keep feeling better and get to some sewing and bow making!

Can't wait to see your haul!

I have to say, I understand your pain with the border. My DH is Canadian (from Vancouver), so we cross the border quite a bit. We need to get a Nexus pass so we don't have to wait in the line anymore...
