    That's what we're here for.
    Always remember:
    A friend will warn you before you do something you shouldn't or that's dangerous.
    A TRUE friend will be sitting in jail beside you saying, "Sheww, that was a BLAST!!!"

    Oh Rachel, I didn't mean that I was definitely going to make all those, just that they were thoughts buzzing in my head. And to everyone else, feel free to use them or to use them as spring boards to bounce to new and better ideas. If we all keep bouncing ideas off each other the sky's the limit, the world is our oyster---grab all the 'pearls' you can!!!!

    Well, one thing is for certain. Even people that have known me all my life are never 100% sure just what I'll do. I might do them all then again I might not. Either way, we'll have fun.

    Personally I would LOVE to get a farm house or a castle block back from the swap. Go for it, they'll be great.

    I have GOT to get off here and get something done. I have a BOM and Thangles meetings Saturday and haven't even cut my fabric yet. I've also got to get that housecoat done for my sis.
