BArbara

Also............wanted to let you all know we got our new MORTGAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! doing a happy dance!!!!!!!!!!!phew!:thumbup:

Congrats on the new mortgage, Barbara! I'm sure you are relieved...

Thanks for the contests, too. Can't believe I was the only one playing. Everyone PLEASE play my game on April 10th! I think they are fun and love the variety. I did find the unscramble quilt block names one really hard, tho! Thank you Barb for thinking these up and going to all the trouble for us... not to mention the PRIZES you provide! You are an awesome hostess!

Sorry I didn't have time to play the games, the weather game made my sides hurt from laughing so much at some of the choice answers!:D Home for the weekend. Oh JOY, RAPTURE ... a bath!!!! Those showers just don't cut it. Gotta get on the stick in another swap, weed the yard, pay bills, hug the family & plan to pack for 2 more weeks away, ugh. I dream of my sewing room with all the pretty things to make this summer.

Alice, I enjoyed your mini bio, cool stuff.

Barb, still saying you ROCK!
hugs to all y'all,

Happy birthday to the April birthday girls.

Congrats on your refinancing Barb. I know that is a load of relief.

Barb, sorry for such low participation on the games as I know you take time to put them together. For me, I have such a time crunch at work, I haven't had much time to participate. But I am sure that will not always be the case and I will have time to participate soon enough.

DJ the work never stops. Enjoy your weekend home.

Good morning ladies...
I was perusing Pinterest and saw some quilt ideas that would be awesome for our candy collections:

Thank you Gannyrosie, dottiedodge and Jarenie for the birthday squares.

Another squishie arrived in the mail today... from Ginger (Bullock2us). Thank you so much for the lovely squares and birthday card, Ginger. I love your fabrics!

Here's another great quilt pattern, free from Moda, for candies:

Today I have been putting together some 16-patches from the candy I have received so far. I'll show you when I get them all together and can take pictures. I'm thinking Arkansas Crossroads for these.

Sorry about not playing the games. On vacation and have been busy. Heading home so will play when I get settled back into my routine! Happy Birthday April Birthday Gals!
