Ahhh time to be "crafty" a few hints for a visa gift card to buy something "personal for yourself" and what is more "personal" that being able to get "close and personal" with some fabric at the LQS??? LMBO

Star, we always hang our Christmas cards over and beside the archway that goes into our living room, too. I've always loved doing that; walking through the archway was like being surrounded by loving thoughts from friends and family. We used to have to put them two and three deep to get them all up, but last year they didn't even go all the way around. I miss getting them, but I have to admit I've gotten bad about sending them out myself. I think I'll still got the cards I bought to send last year, sigh...

I would really like a steady job, making a living wage. If it came with insurance, that would be even better.
