We're going to be in the 80's today too. I can't imagine anyone having that white stuff!:scared1:

Brooke, I haven't cut anything with the Create a Critter cart yet, but it's really cute. I looked on the Cricut board at some of the things that have been made with it and I'm going to love this cart! Of course, I love anything with animals on it!:rotfl: My Michaels has the Create a Critter, I'm sure yours does too. Good luck finding it!

[morgansmom2000]

Brooke, ACM had a big display with 6 new carts. You have ACM don't you?

Watcha getting at the dollar tree Nan?



I bought another set of rain ponchos.. I love to use and toss them!!! :)
I think I have 3 sets now..

I bought...
bobby pins for PJ's Prom hair do... she finds out today/Monday if she makes executive historian (scrapbook queen)!!!
napkins
trash bags
drink mixes (those single serving ones you put in water bottles; need to start collecting them for vacation)
some baby items for PJ's upcoming health project.. they have to carry a flour baby around for a week... the more real they make it the more points they get..and the bag of flour MUST survive the week... Ellie, the little girl I watch is lending PJ a car seat from her babies... LOL They do get to hire a baby sitter for Prom so that is good!!

[party of 3]

Nan- i buy those ponchos for vacation and they work great. we use them and toss them. we used ours to sit on the sidewalk for the parade too and it was great. and i also buy the glow sticks to take to the parks at night. bubba loves them!

[LindaBabe]

....

Sure there is - Get the name of a good contractor and tell DH if the (1st) project is not done THIS WEEKEND, you are calling said contractor on Monday. And then follow through. Bet he'll do the second one on time:lmao:

Can you sew the flour bag into a bag made of heavy duty muslin? That would give him a plain surface for a face, AND help insure the 'baby's survival :laughing:

Oh mg. you girls with kids have SO much FUN!!!!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Have you seen the cat/dog food bags that are a lot like the tvek material for house wrapping and priority mailing? Could you use that material to keep the little "baby" safe?

We love those little drink mix packets. Lipton has a green/white/raspberry tea set. Those are yummy. Kellogg has the protein mix in lemonade and kiwi strawberry. Those are good for when you need a little extra to get through to the next snack. :thumbsup2

[party of 3]

Ann we love those drink thingys too.
and that kellogg one is pretty good. i bought them for MA but she never got the change to try it. i have and i like it.
bubba loves loves loves the crystal light lemonade kind.

I did threaten that for DD's graduation in 2 years... If he gets the 3 rooms done I'll be okay... I did tell him he either gets it together or a new little contractor would be making mom happy! ;) Take it as you want was my next statement...

From what I know, they can dress the doll but the teacher must be able to see the flour bag.... I'm hoping to get more info home today.. I found a baby doll for $5 we are going to unstitch and rubber band to the flour bag! LOL
I just have to hope she gets a girl because I bought pink... LOL

Love the drink packets and we love the fact that Kroger has had 3/10 24 packs of waters lately!!! They didn't have any Kellogg.. I'll have to look more next time for sure!!!

[PrincessNancy96]

Holl ~
glow sticks, bracelets, necklaces are on the list but if I buy them early the goofballs get them out here and use them for tag at night! Seriously.... go old school.. use a flashlight!

[PrincessNancy96]

This just in....

PJ is a proud mom to a 5# bouncing baby boy flour baby!


Now, I have to run back to Walmart and exhange the baby I bought to use cause, I bought pink.... LOL

[joyah]

Congrats to PJ.

I meant the S word and more this weekend!!! excuse me I'd like to know who I ticked off.

Stupid cow is lucky to be alive at the moment the twit kicked me after I'd hobbled her leg well onthe bright side she missed the baby on the bad side she got both of my thighes kind of like a 1/2 x motion. I'm on the couch with a fixed laptop. Poor tom spent the day at the hospital with his dad and is now running kid to swim.

I need to at least make supper. don't think E can do it but I'mgoing to have him try.

Have fun Caroline

[PrincessNancy96]

Goodness Christy, I think that cow needs a real firm talking too... either behave or we can do XYZ... :) Hope you feel better soon..

It was a beautiful day today... sunshine... about 3pm it started blowin' up some wind and the temp has dropped... some guy on the tv said something about possible frost... ERGH!!!

[ddavis860]

DS18 had an egg baby he had to care for. He made a facebook page for it and everything. I made crocheted a soft little pouch and he wore it around his neck all day. It did survive.

The flour one is going to be harder...can't wear it the same way, unless you get a baby carrier, or a baby sling...

[ddavis860]

I had a great day at work today...it helps that I was at the good hospital. I'm there till the 26th, and I think the break is going to be wonderful!!

Big sigh of relief...I can relax for a bit :)

thank goodness!

[joyah]

Tanks Nan did you manage to tell the cat to stay away cause I need the language. I'll be fine tough old farm girl. Hope you're feeling better too.

Deb glad you're at the good hospital for the next bit.

[StitchIsOurHero]

Deb, I'm glad that you're at the good hospital!!

Christy--sorry about the S word!!

Nan--congratulations on the birth of my new great-nephew!!

DIT--thanks for the create-a-critter info!! I called M's today, and they have ONE! Just ONE! So they're holding it til tomorrow, and DH is going to get it when he takes my car to be serviced! Woohoooo!!

[PrincessNancy96]

I'll be taking photos... maybe I'll have her create a facebook page..
In her group of friends she was the only one to have a boy.. they named him Braeton Reese! LOL Elizabeth & Leah are the other two girls' babies.. and they will be best of friends and are getting together after the project to make cupcakes!


PJ is currently at a fundraiser and than to McD's to figure out Prom plans... she finds out Monday if she made executive... I'm actually tired of waiting... oh, and my baby applied for a job today too... omg! where has the time gone??????

DH has all the drywall up in the entry way.. I need to stay after him to get it prepped for painting next weekend... and get that floor in...

Christy, I'm better... bruised and tender back where I hit the electric baseboard heater...but I'm okay... the cat doesn't get within 15' of me and that is fine by me...
I hope you are feeling better yet tonight!!

Brooke hope you enjoy the cart!! ;)

[Lisa]

Lisa--new products?? You must share info!!! Adorable new maker and gorgeous, gorgeous paper! Check the website May 1! I love getting the products early. :goodvibes

What a guy he is! He is a keeper!

[joyah]

Nancy glad the cat got the idea! and that you're on the mend. Now if this cow would, Tom is out there with her now. He was already grumpy after spending the WHOLE day at the hospital doing for his father (remember that whole story well it's gotten a whole lot better) and he'd had a hard time with her this am so he was trying to get home cause he was worried about me trying. What a sweet husband. I'd even spent time tarping the chute so that they would be dry.

It is still pouring buckets out there and so I'm sure there will be more of that word on the gound in the am.

I'm thinking I'm headed for bed.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Brooke, I'm so glad you were able to find the cart!!!!!:thumbsup2

Nan, enjoy your "grandson"!! Take lots of photos and spoil him rotten!:rotfl:

[morgansmom2000]

Aw, a bouncy baby boy! Congrats to the family! :rolleyes:
