A long time between drinks?

  Yes, the saying is true…..it IS a long time between drinks once school starts up for the last term of the year…..everything must go on hold…blogging being one of them!  But I did want to sneak a post in because I have been trying to have a life outside of school (believe it or not!!!). I thought I’d take advantage of the parity of the $Aud with the Greenback so I went and did a little bit of shopping bit of a spend up here. I was surprised when the posty brought me this little treasure pretty quickly 001 ….and inside were these beauties… 002 A Baker’s Dozen FQ Goodie Bag in yummy teals and browns and reds(yes there are 13 in there!), 003 a Glace dessert roll and some Glace turnovers along with some summery Sorbet ones, 007 004 An Old Primrose Inn Jelly Roll and… 006 009 a matching FQ bundle!!! *Squee*……..how much fun am I going to have getting stuck into these????  But for the time being they just have to sit and be patient….they’re safe for now but in7 more weeks…..watch out…..I’ll be taking the cutter to you!!!!!!  LOL Ah well, back to hit the books……hope you’re area of the world is full of quilty fun this week !
