I was engaged to my "best boy" by the time I was two. (He called me his "best girl"...)Our mom's were best friends and we were born 6 months apart! We were deeply in love...he told his parents when we were four that he and I would be living in their home so mom and dad would have to move down the street.
We held hands everywhere we went, he opened car doors for me, helped me buckle my car seat and tied my shoes for me! He got VERY upset one day when he saw my sister HIT me! He told his mother to talk to my mother about it before he had to "step in"...we were about five then.
Alas...we hit 7 and everything changed. We were on the teeter totter at my house and he broke it to me that we couldn't get married. He said he couldn't marry me b/c he was going to be Magnum PI...
*sniffle*
I cried my heart out. Went in and told my sister and his older brother. They made him say he'd marry me...and he did. Reluctantly!
I would just like to point out that even though he and I did not ever marry, he DID name his first daughter for me! He DID! We have the same middle name...even though his wife doesn't know where he got it, I sure do!
The boy carries a flame!

Very pretty indeed!!! I love your Mulan. I really love Mulan, and we just don't see much of her.
And, Edie's top is gorgeous!!1
When you post pictures though, don't use the th_ we want to see nice big pictures of your work!!! All the more to admire it!!!![]()
I don't know what happened but this post just reposted. It was originally posted a page back so that was odd.
Sorry! I had full size pics in there at first and then thought they took up too much space, so I edited them to be thumbnails. Next time, I'll post them in all their ginormous glory!
Okay, we had fun making this "card"--it was my first real attempt at making something with my new Cricut (other than helping Sugarbees with something). It was fun! Nothing is too good for my future DIL![]()

I purchased some ona few weeks ago. Not a bargain by any means, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

Someone said it earlier- Get the unofficial guide from the library, then you can access their site and use their "tools" like the crowd calendarDoes anyone know where to get free touring plans for Disneyworld? I know that there are many sites who sell them (tourguidemike, etc.), but I am too cheap to pay. We will be there April 20th-26th, and I really want to have a plan so that we are able to make the most of our time.
Very Cute- And good thinking making it spring and not just easter and a one day outfit.Ok - here it is - DD's Easter/Spring dress. I still need to do the buttons/buttonholes and hem but am waiting on DD to come home from school.

Hi Guys. I am sorry for the drive-by, but things here are really stressful. DH works for Bear Stearns, and we still don't know whether he's going to have a job or not after the takeover. AND all of our retirement was in Bear (It's practically impossible if you work on Wall street for your stock holdings NOT to be in your company, since they give you stock as a bonus, then make it next to impossible to sell it while you still work for the company)
Sorry I'm not being very active. We leave in 31 days, and I haven't even sewn all week with this stuff going on....
I have the smaller "old" one and I wish I had the bigger one- The Biggest disney one I can make is about 5 inches maybe 5 1/2 inches tall.How cute! I was determined that I did not need a Cricut, afterall I have a Sizzix and love the Girls Are Weird die cut font. Well, while home on maternity leave I caught an informercial for the Cricut and now I really want one. I spent the rest of the day day-dreaming of all the great projects I could "whip up" with the machine. Of course the next question is the basic or the newer one?
That looks very cute- DD might get one of those- one of these daysHere it is by itself and twirling (of course!)

Oh how cute is that!
Georgia has one of these boys...
They are totally alike its crazy. They are both High Functioning Autistic, they both have the same obsessions Elvis, and Disneyland! They have the same color hair same color eyes, same height, They have the same spinning speed. (hahaha I Know sounds funny, but when they spin on the black top or around the poles they do it at the exact same time and the exact same speed)
Anyway, Dean's mom told me today, that yesterday Dean's aide was watching the two of them play at recess and they were holding hands skipping. When she asked how they were doing Georgia replied Dean was her Prince and they were going to take their Elvis dolls (yes, they even have the same Elvis dolls) to Disneyland and ride on the rides off into the sunset. Bwahahahaha isn't that just the sweetest thing?!
Dean's mom and I joke about how we are going to have Spectrum grandbabies and we should just start having family trips to Disney together now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESSA!!!!
Teresa, I Hope that everything is ok with your SIL in the end. Sounds like things will be smooth for her (hopefully) its never easy but smooth is another story. Keep us posted if there is anything I can do let me know!
I bought Enchanted at the first one for 14.xx and saw at the second that it was marked 19.97- I don't get it the walmarts are only like 15 miles apart how could it be that they are so different in price- oh well glad I got it at the lower priceI feel bad though for all the people who don't know the difference and are getting ripped off!
Going to bed "early" tonight got a long day tomorrow- Going to grammys to have some help sewing ds shirt- I know cheating aren't I, But I am going to make the shorts. I also have several appliqued shirts and pants/shorts planned for him. I am also going to Joann tomorrow to pick up a few butterick patterns as they are on sale. But I am not buying anything else I swear![]()
Morgan has her "boy" all picked out as well(the story of these two child is truly amazing!). He is a little boy she knows from China (he lives here now
). It is so WONDERFUL to see the two of them together. She tells everyone-he is her "baby" and she if going to marry him. He recently told his mom that he loves Morgan, but does not want to get married (he is 5 LOL). When I told Morgan, she said, that's ok she still loves him

The American Girl clothes aren't too bad. The dolls are kind of big. Now Barbie clothes are just plain aweful to make. DD's grandmother crochets Barbie clothes for her and her great aunt makes plastic canvas furniture for her too.Everyone's getting ready for Easter! Hope it's a nice sunny day for all of the hunts!
I love the American Girl outfits. It must be hard to sew something so small!
I've just finished DD8's pirate skirt and now I'm working on DD5's princess skirt. Then off to finish DD5's Giselle dress and DD8BF's pink/silver Ariel dress. Plus I still need to pack - we leave in less than a month!
As a long-time lurker on this thread, I finally have something to show.
I will preface this by saying that the only thing I had made before
this skirt is a pillow in Home-Ec. So, I'm pretty pleased. Thank you
all for the wonderful inspiration and encouragement that each of
you show.
I bought the Cinderella shirt at K-mart in case anyone is interested.
Lori
