Yeah, me too. I did pickup a couple of things but I really didn't care for most of the clothing. I just hope mine fits. I managed to get there early day one & figured I'd get my shopping done with, the calendars looked nice but I was not buying a pack of 25 of them (or whatever it was). Got a light sweater, a 3/4 shirt, a tee for my son to replace the one he outgrew & an outdoor banner (that was on sale, otherwise I would never have gotten it)- that pretty much blew my shopping budget right there.
I never thought I'd say I missed VIP & Aim but at least they had some more variety. I still REALLY miss Nancy's artworks, she always had fun stuff! In a workshop, a couple gals were talking about the merril catty and lack of kids stuff (which is so true) One suggested matching mom & daughter shirts (in pink)& commented that little girls were 'all about pink' and I had to laugh, I've always hated pink. Give me blue or purple anyday

- I made sure I got the white HWC apron when it was available way back. LOL.
