HOLY GOOSEBUMPS!




I am so overwhelmed at the goodness of the people I meet everyday. I went to a Fabric Store in South Jordan today-Material Girls and got a bunch of fabric, bits and pieces for quite a few different bags. I stress a little over the cost of it because I normally front the money to buy the supplies for my bags and then once I get paid for them, turn around and buy more material. I was adding up the cost of today's trip as the woman cut my fabric. I was guesstimated it to be somewhere close to $100. "It's ok I told myself. It will all work out somehow." The woman cutting the fabric asked me about what I was making. I told her about Spencer and about the bags. When she was done cutting she told me to stay at the cutting table for just a minute. She then came back and bagged up my material and said, "Today I am paying for your material. It's the least I can do." With goosebumps running up and down my body and tears in both of our eyes I turned and slowly walked out of the store.
