I'm packing my Christmas things up now . . . actually yesterday, today, tomorrow and probably Monday, too! I am starting to think a bit about Valentine's Day, as my b'day is the 4th and DH's is the 8th. I dress the table in that mode for 10 days straight, varying it a bit. I don't decorate for St.P's Day since DD's b'day is the next day (March 18th). I just decorate to suit her current whim then. Easter is too pastel-ish for me to even think about right now. If I can ever get my house back in order and my table dug out from under all the decs, I'll stick with gold, silver or copper with crystal or wood for the rest of Winter (except for my Valentine's decs). Maybe with some pops of red, white or black, but not at the same time . . . I HATE red & black together! It reminds me of casinos and gambling, which I'm not opposed to, but don't participate myself. I don't even know of anyone with a gambling addiction, but for some reason I've always really disliked that look. Obviously, the Ratpack Look doesn't do a thing for me! ;^P Lynn

Syble...I can see your 'furchild' having a ball egg hunting. They like to join in the fun too! lol One year, my German Shepherd got so jealous of all the fuss over presents..that he decided to open all of them under the tree while we were asleep. I guess wanted to know what he got, and he couldn't wait! lol Mo...Jay thanks.. kids love doing projects that have a quick end results. Some enjoy the step by step process while others don't have the patience and won't even attempt to do it. When I have all 4 of them at once, I usually try to break it down for each to do according to age and ability. This project worked well for All. Karen.. I would love for you to show your bunny molds. As for making your own soaps and selling them, kudos to you! ] I've always wanted to use some of my molds to make bee's wax candles. I have a santa one that I love and never lit! I think your Gkids would love doing the chalkware with you. It's really easy and they'll love the end results. If you need any info...just let me know. Punk..thanks...I don't think it matters what you make with them, as long as their enjoying it and of course you too. Thanks for asking...we're just enjoying each day that is a good one. jane

You can take a couple of Hershey's kisses & make a long stemed rose from them. Get the red wrapped ones & if I remember right you put the bottoms of 2 together & wrap it with plastic wrap & you attach it to a flower stem with floral tape & add a couple of silk rose leaves, makes a very pretty long stemed rose. I've got 1 in craft room I might be able to find. So great for nursing homes, club members,church ladies, Mother & grandmas & neighbor lady. When they finish looking at it & Valentine's day is over they get to eat it!!!!You can put a rose in a vase from TS if you want to get fancy. VEry inexpensive to make!!! Jan
