Man do you have that right.  Hubby needs all the bottles to recover  from 
my craft and quilting shopping spree.
 
I just touched base my friend and we will be picking dates in April to goto 
 WEB's Yarn and their warehouse and the Yankee Candle Factory.  There is 2  
exits between these places, so if you are going to 1 you just have to visit 
both  of them.  Yankee Candle Factory is so fun as you go from one room to 
the  other with the smells of the candles and they have Christmas 
decorations from  different places around the world.  They even have a water fall or  
something that has a bridge going over it.  And They have a room that it  
feels like real snow falling down in.  April is fantastic to go up there as  
it isn't crowded like in the Fall.
 
We also are making plans to go up the first weekend of June to Keepsake  
Quilting and Pattern works.  That is when Keepsake Quilting has a big  sale.  
I need to contact them and be sure we get the correct date for the  sale!
