thanks for the compliment! I've probably made about 7 tee shirt quilts and I always have so many tee shirts that the only way to make them not humungous is to keep it to tee shirts only. So my "style" was kind of a "neccessity is the mother of invention"! I love your King Size quilt! I...

What I did for my husband's family gift exchange was to compromise with the spirit of the party and not wanting to spend so much. My husband and I started going in as a couple instead of individuals. So it cut our expenses and yuck gifts in half, but we weren't the scrooges of the party...

Your daughter will love it! My girls (and their friends) have all dressed up as doctors, daliks, the TARDIS, etc. I can't tell you how many friends my girls have converted. In a few weeks our family will be at Chicago TARDIS 2013! We went last year for one day, but this year we are going...

So when my teenage daughter saw Lea's outfit she exclaimed "oh, November legs!" :rotfl2: And then I looked at all the spangles on the body suit and thought, yup she is right :thumbsup2

I've been quilting a few years -- I've made kid's quilts and some traditional quilts for the holidays. I thought you might enjoy this tee-shirt quilt I finished last month for my niece. It is made of some of her favorite tee shirts and we "filled in" some of her beloved characters with...

Do you have a Maurices near you? (they are a subsidiary of the Dress Barn) They trend towards the teenager to 20 crowd. My daughter always gets nice compliments when she wears their clothes.

Thanks for posting such a feel good story! :lovestruc

I work in a school and one of the best lunches we had was a soup and salad lunch. The soups were brought in crock pots -- someone had made a squash soup that was out of this world! And the salads were fun with fruits and nuts in them. And of course we had fun desserts as well. We have a...

Another volunteer idea --- I had a friend whose daughter was very involved in sports and other activities and was having a hard time scheduling hours. She was able to get her hours by making baby blankets for our local Birthright organization. She wasn't a knitter so she made the fleece tie...

A really nice set of wooden blocks -- Melissa and Doug have nice ones. My kids always loved the pop up tunnels and playhuts -- they wear well and store flat. Add a parachute and you have great imaginative play. But, I think the coolest thing would be a wooden Brio train set (Or Thomas...

Not for everything. We've gone to many family owned businesses and you can usually get higher quality items at the home center's price for a mid price item. Also, you will have a MUCH better selection at the family owned/specialty store. A whole store of tile is much better to check out than...

I was there last week -- so yes, open and full of fun stuff! I've only been in the clearance store, as lovetoscrap said it is right next door to the "real" store. I usually spend an hour in the clearance store and spend tons of money and then I am too afraid to go into the regular price...

At the school where I work we had to sign Computer/Social agreements that we (1) would not friend any student in the school system and (2) we were not allowed to post ANYTHING about our school day on Facebook, Twitter, etc. In addition, at the beginning of the year meeting our principal made it...

I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully the thin air was your tummy? The place we go to has old coffee cans with yarn to tie around your waist. I go with my two girls and we pick for 30 - 45 minutes and have blueberries for weeks - at least 6 to 8 pounds! Maybe you went at the end of season when...

Yes, to the blueberry picking! Easiest fruit to pick and soooooo yummy right off the bushes!

All the beaches on the west side of Michigan are great and while the attractions will vary there will be fun any where you go. All of the areas will have fun beaches, cute beach towns, canoeing, and awesome sunsets. I will admit, the water will get clearer the further north you go (it will...

So, for those of you graduating from college or have kids graduating, what are the majors which are getting hired? And is it in the field of the major or in a different area? Thanks!

First off, just want to say I am jealous! We did a 3 week vacation in Colorado and Utah last summer and I really wanted to stop in Glenwood Springs, but we just couldn't fit it in. But we did get to do a very popular hike in the area called Hanging Lake Hike. I really can't even begin to...

The last time was this February coming home from Disney on AirTran. My husband and I talked about it on the way to the airport (we knew people were bumped on the way down) and agreed to go for it since we had an 11:00 flight it would just get us in later the same day. So we went to the...

I'll keep an eye out for them. I can't wait to see the competitions but I will admit to being happily "just a parent" who will get to sight see while they are setting up, etc. My husband is one of the mentors so he won't get as much freedom. I think the team is going to a Cardinals game on...
