Never in a zillion years would I have thought of this. This is FABULOUS!

Another truism here.

I love this! I especially love this because we would be punished for jumping on the beds. Maybe I'll go do that right now...

He seriously stated that he was not going to have any more birthdays; but he would reduce his age by one year every year until he started to act so juvenile he'd have to start adding the years back on. I think he had the right idea, especially since 2 years later he developed lung cancer and was taken from us. Take time to smell the roses and do what you like to do.
This is bittersweet. I'm sorry about your brother, but love the attitude he adopted.

Best compliment ever. You must be so proud.
[QUOTE=RedGarnet222;7320748]Please don't overthink your creative side. What does it matter why you like this pattern or make dolls? Unless you are ready to make changes and are in a growing stage of your life, it is kind of
pointless to torture yourself.
omg! That is great. I will simply do my best to stop torturing myself. This is so great! lol
