Elegante Mother is the gift card queen! She has been telling her family for several years not to buy her things for Christmas and birthdays. She has filled her rooms with quilting fabric and books and clothes and music, and there's just not a lot of room left.
Of course, her family is not willing to let a holiday or birthday go by without giving her a gift, so half of them plan to take her places, and the other half have given her gift cards. She must have eight gift cards to bookstores, a couple for hobbies, one for fabric, and one for coffee. I think she may have a few other cards that I haven't seen yet.
Each time we go out, I plan to make a stop at one of the places where she has a gift card, to give her the chance to shop. She'll be able to pick up fabric to finish a quilt (or to start a new one *G*), books to while away the winter (if it ever arrives), and coffee for her breakfast stash. She's contemplating beginning to paint again, so she may want to pick up oils, brushes and a canvas or two.
We'll be stretching Christmas out for a couple of months. *S*

I can't help but be a bit suspicious that Buffy is as excited as EM and that Buffy may end up monopolizing playtime particularly when the lovely new fabrics come out on the table. I didn't say she would, but I did say I'm thinking that could and might happen.

Roberta! (hand to heart) How could you imply such a thing! (sorting through the fabrics...) Just because I encouraged EM to buy that lavender that would fit so well in the new quilt I'm going to start......
