Back From Poland


I'm back from Poland and EXHAUSTED!! That is a rough trip on the body. I think I was up a total of 43 hours before it was all said and done. What a whirlwind of a trip but it was so worth it. I don't think I have ever shopped so much in my life and I think I had nothing but dreams of blue dots last night. I got a lot of Christmas shopping done and even bought some Christmas pottery for myself.

One of the many pottery shops we went to (this one was higher end):




I took a few pictures but my neighbor's daughter who went with us took even more. She is suppose to email me the pictures in the next few days so once I get them I will post them.

Overall, I wasn't too impressed with Poland as a country itself. Definitely a very impoverished country. I couldn't believe the difference just crossing the border. We went from a beautiful autobahn and beautiful country side to this icky brown and depressed country with roads that I couldn't believe were considered highways. I was just amazed at the difference just in crossing the border.

I am going to spend the day today being a bum. I am absoultely exhausted!

So what's your pattern? I have blue butterflies. I just started collecting recently, and I also have been stocking up on other patterns and pieces for Christmas presents.

Maddy-

I started with a Christmas pattern for now. The one with snowflakes and trees. I bought a boatload of that...lol

I mainly got Christmas present. I plan on going again sometime next year and pick out a pattern then. I just wanted to see what was out there before I decided on one.
