Let's talk shop for a minute. A few years ago, I decided to try the "Black Friday" 4am store opening madness with my sister and SIL to get something for my mom at a REALLY good price. While I was a little worried about how people would treat each other, it was a pleasant day and I never witnessed any fights or even people taking things out of other carts as you see so often on the news. That was the 1 and only time I've shopped in the early hours of the morning on Black Friday.
As most of you know, I created the Battle of the Stitches crochet challenge back in February of 2014. It's a fun crochet competition for designers to share the love of crochet. 10-12 designers create a new design using the same crochet stitch and a theme to focus on. It's been a wonderful experience to get to know so many other talented ladies and build friendships and strengthen our businesses together.
