    too funny! I have a ping pong table that gets cleaned off after each project ...just fill it back up with the current project. (and I am a scrapbooker as well and we have tons of stuff!)

Whether it is returning all of those pieces of fabric to their proper places, a dust bunny smiling at you from under the dresser or a pan that needs a little extra elbow grease. Now is a much better time than tomorrow to care for what needs to be done. Well, I got to the office yesterday, Tuesday and put off submitting my tip, did not listen to my own advise, and here I am on Wednesday submitting late. Ah well, I am getting better... at least it is not Friday!

    Birthday treats will go to the post office later today... really they will, I promise.

    I do this but only 3 at a time....10 seems like a good idea. Just used a joann's coupon and bought a 12 pack of bobbins...next time thread goes on sale I am gonna stock up on white to do this...thanks Sewbizgirl.

This 'tip' may not be news to anyone, but when I run out of bobbin thread I stop and wind about 10 at one time (of white). Then when I'm sewing along I can just grab a new bobbin when I run out without stopping to wind. Seems to take less time and causes less interruption of sewing that way.

    That's my 'tip'...

    Did you see the tip from a QB poster, she uses filing cabinets to color code her yardage fabric and hangs them over the pendaflex inserts! She even decorated the outside of the cabinets, so pretty & organised!

    Hi Ladies, Just checking in. I have been real busy with the end of the softball season, so I haven't posted for a while. Finally the season is over. Awards ceremony was yesterday at Idle wild water and amusement park. We had a great time, I got sunburned. Other than my theater, I can now quilt and craft until January. (Getting ready for 2015 softball season) August Birthday surprises going in the mail tomorrow, Sorry they are late. Happy Birthday Kathy

    I just saw the quiz. I'm not sure how I missed it yesterday. To bad, I would have submitted entries if I had seen it in time.

    Just want to let you all know I am going out of town Thursday and back on Sunday. I will not have internet *(yeah) while I am gone so I will check back on Sunday.

    I will be going to the first ever family reunion for my side of the family. I have 7 siblings and so all 8 families with almost all the families will be getting together at a cabin (has 8 bedrooms) each bedroom sleeps 8-12 people. So should be coming back with some stories. Remember these are the same people I fought with as a child also my parents will be there for most of the time( they are 91 and 86)!!! 44 people! only 3 family members will not be attending.

    Have a great weekend.
    Barb

    Yay! Thank you for the contest Barb!

    Have a great family reunion. With that many housed together I'm sure it won't be dull! We do want stories when you get back, LOL. Have a great time!

    I also fill every bobbin that i have when I run out. I is soooooo nice to just reach into the case and find one ready to go. I do need to plan ahead. More than once I have filled all or nearly all of my bobbins and found I did not have an extra spool for the machine. Silly me! Off to JoAnn's, closest store for thread, I would go and use what ever coupon I had at hand so I could continue with my project.
