I've been doing a lot of my shopping online this year and find I'm getting a little impulsive. I'm trying to find a balance between buying and the amount of money I need to spend.

I ordered a bunch of fabric for a stadium blanket and over bought and I'm glad I did because one of the fabrics was the wrong color. It didn't look like it did online and I couldn't find it in any of my local stores. Now I'm frustrated and have spent a lot of money on it for it to now be a disappointment. But I did learn a valuable lesson. Don't try to match fabric online.

I had success with my other Christmas purchases, but I spent more than I intended.
