I'm in awe of those of you who are organized. What a grand tool box, Caroline! We are a pair of packrats, incorrigible. The Scrap Man comes by and reminds us every now and then that we're supposed to be throwing away and we keep moving things around. The space fills up again with objects that need lengthy goodbyes. We dragged the old Ford Truck from under the equipment shed for the Scrap Man to take away, and DH rearranged all his toys. At lunch, he described to me a battery operated nail driver that is on sale somewhere and then admitted that he has an air impact nail driver that has never been out of the box. Guess who gets a robe and jammies for Christmas? Nell

What a wonderful surprise. Enjoy it for all of us north of you :)

Karen, so happy I found this post before hitting the hay. Lovely set your friend sent. Love your Mikasa figurines you found and your sleigh is pretty also. I think from the looks of things your showing you may have to invite the DD and DDIL over again if your not careful.LOL Are you the reason the saying SHOP TILL YOU DROP came about? I am so excited to see what the kids come up with for me for Christmas. I told them things for tablescapes. I'm so hooked!!! Punk

Is your kiln programmable? And did you get a manual with it? When I got mine, I also bought a book to teach me but everything I needed to know to get started was in the manual. If you have any questions, I would be willing to try to help. You will love it once you get the hang of it.
