oh, tenderlee, ya crack me up! Hey, they made a song about us trashy women,somethin' 'bout likeing their women on the trashy side! I think they even sang something about my hairdo, the Dolly Parton hair, us southern girls can get that wild high hair with a good old can of that Aussie Freeze hair spray!!LOL!!OK, back to your question, yes, it is a knife handle and it is attached to one of those suction cups with the wire. Cherry even included some sweet little pink roses in the top of it, but you can fill it with water and add a flower or even a vine to root. I stuck it on my kitchen window and it is so cute. I am charging my camera right now, (it went dead at a birthday party tonight, as usual!)so I will take a better pic tomorrow for you. Thank you so much, again, Cherry, I am loving my pretties so much!! And thanks everyone for the great comments! Jeanne, U R so right, CHRISTMAS IN JANUARY!!!! Thanks to my talented friend Cherry, I love all of the little crafting supplies, I am gonna have some fun with those! Everything she sent is BEAUTIFUL beyond words! She's amazing! blessings-sherri

I think it has more to do with how the child feels about the situation. If BM had stayed living nearby and SD came to live with us, she wouldn't feel 'abandoned'. Last night, SD told DH that the reason she wants to go live with her mom is because she feels like moms new BF is taking her mom away. The truth is that mom has chosen the BF over her kids. It's not about how much she visits them, it's how the kids feel that she left and no longer sees them as much as she could (if she had stayed), or calls them as much as she could, and when they go see her, she tells them about her wedding plans and I'm sure they are hurt to hear mom so excited about her life without them. BM may not see it that way, but the kids probably do. Then, BM can't control herself for two days and has to take a shower with BF while the kids are there... of course the kids are not going to feel secure that their mom loves them. They see her choosing the BF. IMO, BM could have done things differently that would have made it easier for her kids. Like taking the time to let her kids get used to the idea that she had a BF, and then letting them know and get used to the idea of her moving. She may see them but she did abandon them. She chose BF over them and didn't put their need to feel secure about the situation first. That's why I feel that way. I think it's the same if a man goes from seeing his kids and when he gets a new GF or wife, he starts ignoring his child. I wouldn't allow my husband to hold my hand around his daughter because I could see it upset her when we were dating. But I think the parents need to have that awareness about how their kids feel. If my step daughter didn't have such a big problem with what her mom did and was not feeling the way she does, I wouldn't think the mom abandoned her. But SD cries all the time and it breaks my heart to see her sadness when she tries to call her mom and gets the voice mail and mom doesn't call her back. My kids were abandoned before birth and they didn't suffer the way my SD is suffering right now. So, you may not agree that she has abandoned her children, but I don't know what you'd call it. She's hurt her kids very much and has no remorse. She blames me for her daughter's unhappiness. and sometimes, I feel like I am the one that cares more about her happiness than her own mother.
