Hugss Vonn, and soon I gotta order a quilt from you, I would love one!!

hugs to all

just listening to Christmas music, Johnny Mathis... (fell in love with his voice thru my mom)

and we are mixing up Peanut butter cookie dough for kiss cookies mmmmmm

back to baking, hugss,sarah

My cat loves fleece blankets! I bought her several baby size ones from the dollar store and she curls up with them. Vonn you might just be on to a new project idea!

All my neighbors are upgrading their alarm systems...adding cameras. Guess we need to get ours monitored. Right now it just sounds here at the house. The neighbor that had her house broken into, is beginning to think someone they knew may have broken into her home. The robber even opened Christmas gifts and tossed aside stuff not wanted. It could have been worse...she realized today her 16 yr old daughter had made a quick run home to pick up some items... she could have walked in on the robber(s).

I have a busy weekend ahead... planning on some baking and cleaning and shopping. At least it will be sunny and cold and not wet and cold!

We have a shop for dogs called two bostons...people were lined up around the block waiting to get their doggies' pix taken...Napervillians spend loads on their pets...
can you envision a pet quilt salon with matching quilts for their owners?
Bet you'd get a loan for that shop

We have a pet bakery in DeKalb. They cater mostly to dogs, but they have a few cat items as well. You can get gourmet biscuits for your puppies.

Hi all I'm rushing as per norm. Its 2.22 am here but wanted to say hi. Hope you are all getting through the holiday rush. Vonn I just want to say allthough I haven't been on here long You are a very special person. It shows so much in how you treat others Please take a good long look at yourself as you are pretty fab And i don't know about others but I may have to catch a plane to the US and give you a big hugg. Love to you all Jackie xxxxxxxxxx

thanks, Jackie .. and everyone ...

not sure what it is - maybe with getting the rejection about the apartment today .. and then bearing my soul to you ... it's like a release ... and I have 2 weeks to move forward - before my next class starts, and then tax season starts!! .. think Debbie said that ... and let my past go and continue to do good ...

about the animal quilts ... I'll check at the pet shop (or WalMart ) and see what they have to offer and for how much ... but, from the sounds of it, I know of 5 kit-cats that love the fuzzy side of my quilts .. where were they when I was putting my paper together!!

been watching "The Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" ....

"... all girls are princesses ... that is our right!"

please, forgive me ...

it was your wonderful posts of encouragement that helped me to get thru this today ...

it's like a break-through .. although I didn't 'get my way' with moving or the lawyer not returning my phone call today ...

for the first time ... I didn't run away .. I wanted to ski-daddle ..but, realized that maybe this time, by NOT running ... there is something better for me!

thanks again!!

Morning all. White carp is falling from the sky. They say we could get a foot of it before it stops. I was to work today but the snow closed us. Boss called and said I can make up my hours next week. I'm losing hours due to the holidays and she hated to see me lose even more. Bless her soul.

Housework and baking. Carp shoveling later no doubt. On second thought... Free snow! Come and get it!

Stay warm and safe.

Everyone, say a quick prayer for Barb today. She does a stop mid way through my town, and the snow came earlier and is more than what they predicted on Thursday when she asked me about the weather. Pray for safe travels for her as she goes to see her family.

Vonn, yep. you are one special gal!

Take care everyone!

Barb - Saying prayers for a safe trip for you. Check in when you can.

Vonn - Glad we were able to cheer you up.

Pam - How scary! Unfortunately, break-ins around this time of year are common.

Sarah - DD19 loves kiss cookies. I hope you and the kids had fun making them together.

Weave - That is so kind of your boss. Many don't do things like that.

Hi everyone else! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
