Yes, I really AM a newbie. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement.
I am saving all my scraps for future things. Not because of what I MIGHT make, but I started saving them because I guess I grew up with "why throw it away when it can be used for something else".
I'm getting ready to post my 2 and 3 projects: First was the deer, second was fish and third are dolphins. Check out the new post shortly.

Thanks again everyone. You're great!

Wonderful first projects-you do not look like a newbie. I really like your laptop tote.

That is pretty impressive...I really like both projects...
Keep up the good work!
