Me too ;o)
Have to sit on my fingers to prevent my from buying...
Just good that some of the sales end on Tuesday (Urban/emblibrary) so my next money is at the bank :o)
Greetings, Bettina

LOL Must of us are in the same boat.

Isn't embroidery designs addictive - especially when there are sales - I just have to limit myself to what I truly can afford and what I believe I will really use - if not - it is money sitting in someone elses pocket - when I need it so very much in my own - LOL.

if you *really* wanted an answer to that, LOL, possibly because lots of folk are away at the beach or visiting with relatives etc they might need to put up sales to get a reasonable amount of business to keep going and keep staff employed. Yes, many of us here are helping them keep their businesses running :) I've bought from Stitch Delight ($1 design sets!) and may well shop at Urban as well, yet.

I know what you mean....and I have so many nice designs, and never been stitched. I am trying to be vry good, but it sure is tempting. I sure am tempted, but trying to be strong. LOL

mine toooo lol..
just finished shopping at misty mountain a fabulous sale there all sets $1 amazing.. then I went to gorgeous stitches and had a spend up there all sets 75% off at the moment.. lucky enough I have nearly every set from cindy at julia's needles as she has a all sets £1.15 at the moment..
I won $10 gift voucher at planet applique so saving that shop for tommorrow lol..
stitch delight and dainty stitches I must have most of their $1 sets by now...
I have 5 in the hoop sets from embroidery outlet and I have promised myself I must not look there until I complete the sets I have..

so I def helping the economy lol.. I worked really hard this year from Oct though to christmas eve and was very fortunate to have better sales then last year.. so why not treat myself lol.. oohh looking forward to those rainy days lol

Yes there are lots of sales out there at the moment.My drastic solution to this problem was to get about of a very bad flu nearly 3 weeks ago ( still suffering from it).lost any interest in spending money or going out

... and .... have you visited Pixies Rule??? .... :} :} :}

All you have to do is open your credit card bill and shocker!!!!! I think, how did I buy that much. I will say this. When emblibrary introduces a design pk , put it in your wish list and wait until an offer of 50% off or 60% off then buy and maybe you don't even want it any longer. Kay

I am also helping to keep the sales sites up and running, ha ha.

Just remember, the designs will not go away, and sales do come and go. You don't have to buy all of the designs :-) (That's what I keep telling myself anyway!)

Maybe we could all try to get some new designs digitized and up on Designs by Cuties to help satisfy that urge to add to our collections. I have something I'm working on...... and it's NOT Christmasy.

You girls must enjoy your shopping. Our currency's value is just getting worse and worse.

Its like going into a store and looking at those lovely designer outfits, bags and shoes and when you look at the prices and the shop assistance comes to help you, you just say, I'M BROWSING and just get out of that place!!! You have this war going on inside you between you head and your heart, the strong one wins. To spend or not to spend your money!!
