Sandi, I'm sure your son does enjoy being the only one around. It's nice for ya'll too. I am glad he colored Easter eggs. Will you get to keep them? Yes, the girls are great-great nieces. It sounds so strange to me. I don't know how I got so o-l-d. lol But it is better than the alternative, as they say. The little girls are my nephew's grandchildren. His father (my brother) died unexpectedly. I am about all the family my nephew and his wife have other than their two daughters.

Minnie, Love your bunnies! the ones on the table are sooo cute! I can appreciate all the work that went into makeing the ceramic bunnies, when you pour the molds yourself, you can say I MADE THAT! not just painted it, althoe the painting part isnt easy eather! there are several steps to a finish project, and each one if messed up can be the end of your project. the picture is so small its hard for me to see all the detail on the bunnies, but I can tell you did a beautiful job! love em! Happy Crafting Oddie

Fixing ourselves is the idea. And, I agree, it is bad. I had crawled into the attic to inspect it and tried to take some pictures to show my husband. He is too tall for the attic. I think some bolts broke or came loose, and when the wall support was removed, time took it toll. We had the thought of building a square frame & slowly jack the ceiling where the crack is, and then I'd crawl into the attic to drill & add some huge bolts. I do know that one of the problems with the attic, the pitch is so low, I can't even get anyone in to replace my duct work. It is a tight fit, even for me, and I've been called high & wide challenged. I have certainly had more than one nightmare about falling ceilings. Half of length of attic: Front piece is how much half has dropped, back looks to be okay. Seems that some of the bolts I'd seen were gone or bent sideways when part of it sagged down. Another picture related to above thoughts: The crack from attic eye view:

@texanjana -- I don't have a pic, handy, but I'll tell you this, it took two batches of frosting to get the technique and to find the right consistency of frosting. I'll be honest, one early attempt using pink frosting lining the inside of the bag, stripes of red color gel, and a white interior (like the videos instruct) just ended up looking like a sea anemone, rather than flower! Great for a monster from the deep theme, not so much for spring flowers. Playing with the various tips was fun.
