Do they have store

Sounds like our "gift cards". Stores have a store-based debit card, that
the gift-or "loads" money on, and gives to the lucky recipient. Holidays
have become all about trading cards in many families! Barnes and Noble,
Borders, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target (discount dept. store), WalMart, Home
Depot, etc....and in some grocery stores, they sell the "chain" store cards.

Some malls have "Mall Dollars" cards that work in any store in that mall.

Last Christmas DD even got an "i-tunes" gift card!


I`m stitching a Native American Wedding sampler for Richard and Carla for
Christmas, too. They will be marrying some time soon - but this sampler
(Thanks Dianne!) is perfect for any situation, married or not!

DD is working on an "Apache Wedding Sampler" from one of the BritStitch
magazines for some friends who're tying the knot in October...but it
hasn't come along very far yet, and she's just off to college and didn't
take it along. So it may end up as an anniversary gift!
