That cheerful sentence is how I feel about every Black Friday. I'm sure the sales are great, but why bother?
This year, however, I was almost tempted to go out. Why? A yarn sale.
Seriously.
Lion Brand homespun yarn for almost 50% off!
I don't know about where you live, but here, yarn never goes on sale for more than 20-30% off.
And homespun yarn is so wonderful.
I convinced myself not to go by reminding myself that of my 14 projected projects, not one of them calls for the thickness of homespun yarn.
Phew! Saved by a lack of necessity, unlike most Americans.
I will, however, be shopping on Saturday. Saturday is my Chloe Craft Day. A Sister Shopping Day, if you will. We're going to hit up all the craft stores (plus a few other errands I've been meaning to run) and then have a crafting day where I teach her to crochet a 6-petaled flower and we just craft in general (and I teach her to use the iPod I handed down to her 4 months ago).
I'm hoping the crowds won't be bad on Saturday - I've never gone shopping this close to Thanksgiving, so I'm a complete novice.
But I think we'll have fun.
Speaking of crafts, here is a blog I have come to enjoy. I've seen a lot of crochet/knit blogs where they're run by older ladies who do beautiful work, but use more subdued colors and color schemes. The Sunroom is run by a lady not much older than I am who uses such brilliant and bright color schemes. It's marvelous. Check out her blog here.

I abhor Black Friday! I think it brings out the absolute worst character traits in people, plus the angry mob mentality. I'm with you....count me out!
