pills? pills? pillz? what color are they??? maybe i took yours by mistake, brat! your mother and my mother might be related, so it must be we share a father. ooops! mom's rolling in her urn! i swear, that woman makes an ash of herself whenever she can! apples? am i supposed to have apples? hmm... i think i do, but no trees. i can't help but think i could use a table about now!

Hey Nancia was your mailman this tall guy short dark hair smiled a lot? my mom had one of those. curiosity maybe he made the rounds you know... When I find the pic of my mom standing on a table dancing like she is carmen miranda all dressed up gladly share it then we will know for sure. (unless you have a snapshot of the mailman mom's must have got lost along the way).

Oh my you two are funny! I've taken photos of my runner, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow. By the way, it's a perfect fit! I'm off to finish the backing for my home decor project so I can get it done on time. I didn't get to work on it much before dinner and now it's almost bedtime, yikes! Only 2 days left til the deadline! CHOP! CHOP!

Such funny ladies you all are. Make me smile. Thought I would share a pic of the runner I sent to Loupsprite. She is still working long hours and says she loves it so will just share since I know you all have been holding your breath and I did give a sneak peek a while back. I will snap a pic of mine when I get it. It is on the way and I check the mail box every day. :-)

Thanks for posting the pic, Sandy! I swear, my brain is so fried after working with these kids all day, that I can't function when I get home! We have 4 dogs, and let them outside in pairs so they don't tear up the yard; I let the same dogs out twice, and couldn't figure out why the other two were crying to get out! My 4 year old son had to point out what I had done. D'Oh!!

So many pretty table topper/runners.

time for a little after work ..relaxation Loupe! and hey the first pair were not complaining so whats the big deal? My golden would get sooo excited when we got home (I crated the dogs when I wasnt around) she would do these great big figure eights in the garden yahoo! yipppeee! smiling the whole time.. as she tore the hell out of the plants and anything that came in the way of a figure 8. lovely critter she was :)

Sandy WHAT A PRETTY RUNNER. What are you selling them for? I wish I could consistently make things like that and sell them for side cash but well energy zips after little bursts. take me 2 yrs to make enough for one craft fair I think. sigh. beautiful spring all the way.

OK to be off the wall and just feeling like.. well fessing up to someone. Ok ok what is she saying where is she going? ah ha! you never know with me. Lucky You! your just like me I never know either :) I just made my favorite late night, its 10 p.m. and well needed a snack. What is my go to late night snack? Triscuits. Not bad right? wrong. I take eight always eight. nine is one serving you see so eight cant count? lol. put them on a napkin. Then I add.. ready .. SALT. I salt them before I go to the couch and eat them like they are some sacrid treat. Why? I am a salt addict. I salt all my food before I taste it. Ok that has changed. I am careful now when cooking, DH hates too much, I have to watch it in theory.. then comes 10 pm. and me and ..salt. I get blood tested every two weeks and so far my tests are grand on potassium and phosphorus (ok not grand just in the range of ok 3.5 to 5 thing and like 4.5 to 5 so I never get in trouble).. I just want Salt. no chocolates no icecream pudding nothing like that. crackers.. with salt. what is yours? am I the only odd ball? (DONT YOU ANSWER THAT)

Brat: I went from my government desk job (that I lost two days after Christmas) to my new job as a preschool teacher at my son's school.

Pay went down, hours went up (I was 8-5, m-f, hr lunch. Now I'm typically 7:30-6:30-ish, 1/2 hr lunch!) By the end of the day, I'm exhausted, mentally and physically (I sit on the floor and can't hardly get up for pete's sake!) I've been sick with one illness or another since I started (I'm on my second bout of Pink Eye in a month) and more often than not, I'm bringing home work to prep on the weekends.

BUT - I *love* my job. I've got a daily welcoming party of 40+ preschoolers that are always happy to see me, and a never-ending supply of hugs, helpers, and crayon drawings. I was offered a part-time position, and it turned into a full-time position as the ART TEACHER, which I absolutely love! My boss is amazing, and my co-workers are always smiling. I wouldn't trade back to my old job!

I just hope everyone is as patient as Sandy was, with my swap delay issues! I love everyone here, and these swaps are truly a highlight of my scarce 'free time'.

Sorry for the monologue... Finally found a minute to put this out there! :)

Anastasia.....WHERE ARE MY GNOMES?????:shock:

Boy, lovely table runners and toppers being made, great job!
