I got this in an email & have been meaning to share it...

With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies.  So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good grief, look how smart I am!".

(ps...Is it Friday yet? lol!)

Between Charming Friends Quilt Along

FUN! FUN! FUN! And since I haven't sewed in 3 months, I could use some (quilting/sewing) fun!  I've decided on the mini so I can hang it up in my sewing room.  Besides the sentimental factor, I wanted to make sure the fabric I picked would give my room a 'happy/girly' feel to it.  So, I decided on...
 If your interest, it just started & you don't have to be a member.  Just go check out Kelly's post.

Funny/Sweet Story...

The weekend before Memorial day, I spent Saturday night in Vicksburg, MS with my Mom & sister.  When we get home I see a priority mail envelope on the table - don't think nothing of it.  And after the hugs & getting all the luggage in the house, my husband asks 'What did you order?'.  For a split second I had to scan my brain to try and remember if I ordered something.  You know - since I'm sooooo budget concious....LOL!  So a little panick strikes me because I try to place orders where I end up checking the mail.  Hey, when it comes to fabric the motto is 'What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas'...work with me.  So even my Mom & little guy are hoovering around wanting to see what is in the envelope - GREAT (little sarcasm here)!  So as I ripped into it, I see Cindy's name in the corner.  The biggest smile is on my face. She sent me this...
I was so proud to tell them this is from my friend Cindy in Arizona! The one that love's Patrick & chocolate!  She is one of the sweetest ladies I've met in blog land.  Not to mention - the funniest!  Everyone was like - Wow, how nice!  I was thinking the same thing.  I enjoy of hearing when RAK happens but it's much sweeter when it happens to you.  I've already thanked her but I want to thank her again - Thank you!  Not just for the fabric but for your friendship & encouragement and making me laugh!  You are one special lady!  I'm so happy we've met.

I've been Schnibbling...

It's late & everyone is in bed - this is definitely the best 'ME' time. BUT I need to get things done quickly because it's late & I'm tired...LOL! So, I've just finished cutting up all my fabric! I saved the back round fabric for last & as I was cutting those little squares, the light bulb went off ***DING***. I went ahead & got a jump start on my next Schnibbles (I'm grinning like a possum).  I figure I'll be making another Plan C because I just love the stars & log cabin themes. Two points for me!!! LOL! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! Talk to y'all later...
