Elaine, your site looks good. (I have a pet peeve about people not capitalizing "I")
May I suggest that you post in the photography section and get some tips for photographing the bottles. They are very pretty and I think that "nicer" pictures would showcase them much better. Unfortunately, I am a point-and-shoot photagrapher, so I have no solid suggestions to offer. (sorry I am not thinking super clearly yet..... That is meant in a very nice, constructive way. Please don't think I am being mean or anything like that!!!!)
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling lousy. I hope that the fact you are here now means that the "lousy" has passed and you are feeling good again.
DM, you have been very busy! goats?
Mamaslittlemonkeys, I have a few projects on the go, but they are not finished AND they are birthday party (or present) related. The party stuff HAS to be done before tomorrow at 1:00 and I can post either before the party if I have time, or after 3:30. The present thing I shouldn't post until at least the 10th because she likes to look at this site over my shoulder and I'd hate for her surprise to be ruined.

Anglea,I don't not offend easily i was a Marine!!! ok well DM rattles me alittle...well more like scares me....does anyone else think there is more than one person in his head??? yeah i know the pics aren't the best but most of the time it's 3am and well even the camera can't auto-focus!!! I mainly put the pics up just to have something for someone to see..all the pics will be fixed when #1 i have more and #2 when i set up a spot to take better pics. right now i finish something and then take a picture of it. I mean honestly how many times have you made something and SAID i'll take a picture of it and mail it out before you do...i for one will NOT be chasing the mailperson down the highway just for a picture. Besides ANY and ALL comments good OR bad will be great i need everyones help to get this site right. Elaine

Now just a darn minute! I resemble that!
***two too to!!!***
I'm sorry, the personality you are attempting to reach has been disconnected.
Well yeah, but she does have a valid point... you ARE a little screwy....

Okay, this isn't very exciting, but this is what I've been working on. At my daughter's birthday party we are having a beanbag toss -a JELLYbean bag toss:

And I found a use for pyramid bags. These are the lootbags (they have crazy straws sticking out)

and, not very crafty, but the eggs have candy in them and my daughter has devised some sort of relay game with them
That is all I have been working on. Wait, that isn't true. I cut out the pieces and did the machine sewing for another sock monkey. My daughter's environmental club is raffling off baskets and I thought I'd donate a sock monkey to it. I probably won't get any more work done on it for a good week though. My plate is extremely full for the next 8 days....

I like the beanbag idea, I bet the shape makes them a bit harder to aim with too.

cweed, that is awesome! I love the two colors and the texture (I know it's not called texture, but I can't think of the word for it) ! Thanks a lot for posting a picture. Oh, and welcome to the forum!
Angela, if any of us can get to Ontario, can we participate in the party? LOL I like the bean bag toss game too and the pyramid bags look so cool.
You're going to be the mom all the other mom's will try to outdo for their own kids parties.
