Simply Charming winner!

All of you are probably wondering IF I counted my charm packs.

Are you wondering?

Well I sort of did count.

By sort of, I mean....after I made it through what I think is all of them....

I sort of rounded...because I have a feeling I may have missed a few here and there.

okay so are you ready for this?

158

yep. sick.

I have been buying charm packs for 7 years (they are not all Moda).

I know this because I have 2 of the original Moda Tin Box Sampler Series

from 2005 and 2006.

I didn't get the Nantucket line by Minick and Simpson

but I have

Anticipation and Faded Memories.

I just can't bare to cut them.

I have used a TON of fabric and charms over the years,

yet they keep multiplying.

Here's another truth,

I rarely paid full price for charm packs.

It's true, I have to REALLY want it that minute to not wait for a sale.

So how could I have afforded so many charm packs in 7 years?

I would buy 6-8 charm packs from Hancocks of Paducah when they would

sale them at $3 or 4 each!

We don't see these those prices anymore.

I made an investment so to speak that will keep paying for years :)

okay that's just justification.

But I did go through a time when I would buy enough to make a bed sized quilt...

one or two charm packs just wasn't enough.

I don't buy like that now.

Anyhow,

back to the reason I am posting....
