Well, I'm 40 and honestly mainly an orchid grower, but the Hoyas are quickly increasing. I have about 50 - 60 different Hoyas now. I'm fortunate to live in a beach town on the Florida panhandle where our weather is great for growing both Hoyas and orchids, many of which I can leave outside year round. Over the last year, I've been moving all the potted plants to inorganic media which has it's own requirements, but they seem to be quite happy with it. I have three sons from ages 20 - 12 that are pretty good about helping me take care of "my plants" - oh and I have a lovely hubby who supports my obsession also. I'm traveling now a good bit for work, so I post inconsistently. While I check the site when I'm on the road on my tablet, it is difficult to post on it or my phone. Renee

Coop-- Pinterest is sort of like a virtual cork board. If you find an image you like of a chair, for example, you go to your Pinterest account and put the image in. You can have different "cork boards" in different categories . . .anything you want. For example, I have boards for my living room, dining room, Valentine's Day, etc. Some people have recipes, inspirational quotes, etc. You can look through others' images and you might find something you like, so you "repin" it to your board. It sounds complicated so I stayed away, but it took me about 2 minutes to figure it out once I got on. It's like having all of your inspiration boards in one place.

Ok This has nothing to do with fabric but I have tons and tons of buttons...many containers..hidden in my cupboards in my sewing room...well, I saw a photo somewhere on how to organize my buttons....and this is what I'm going to do - I went to a local store where I've been able to find these glass jars with covers...the covers are plastic which is fine...and I bought 8....I'm going to sort 8 of the primary colors - all of the red tones, all of the blue tones, all of the green tones, all of the yellow tones, etc. into jars.....then each jar will get a fabric topper for the cover in the color of the buttons...and I can then arrange the jards on a shelf...I think they will make a great display - and when making projects, wallhangings, etc, and I need a certain color of button - I can take down just the jar that has the color I need...eventually I will perhaps get extra jars for other colors..but for now -I am limiting myself to 8..I'm really not sure where I'll even display the 8 yet.....but I loved the idea.... Cheers!

I work in the payments processing industry. It is in your best interest to put your dispute with the merchant in writing to your credit card issuing bank. In your letter state that the merchandise was 'damaged and defective at delivery' then, detail -in bullet point form -the defects. Do not ramble, do not be emotional. State that you expect to reimbursed because the merchandise was damaged and defective. State that you no longer have the merchandise, and that you have advised the merchant you expect a full refund. Do not pay the portion of your CC balance that you are disputing. They will reverse any interest charges on your account that accrue due to the nonpayment of the disputed item. Do not send this letter with your payment send it to customer service. Most credit card issuing centers will give special handling to thosse disputes sent via registered, return receipt requested post.
