Gosh, I hadn't even clicked over here for awhile. Used to be the word "conversations" would be blue if there were new messages--mine had stayed red so I didn't think anyone had been here! Anj, it is good to have you popping in again finally and I really love seeing all your projects. Hope you do really well at the craft fair. There's a craft show nearby starting tomorrow, and I'm meeting up with one of the gals from the Holiday forum for it and lunch. I've asked my friend next door to watch the homefront for me so I can relax and enjoy it. Belle, you are so sweet and I can tell you do understand the challenges. All prayers are very much appreciated. I have learned to "take one day at a time" and not think too much! LOL I will have to try your antihistamine trick, there are times I really need it! Yes, there are many funny moments and we have to laugh at those and not think about the cause. I'm so blessed that DH has kept his sense of humor and really laughs at a joke or funny comment. The other morning, he was having some difficulty sitting up to get out of bed and finally succeeded after some "reminders" from me. When he stood up, I said "Houston, we have lift off!" and he got the biggest laugh out of that. I love to hear him laugh. I'm so excited that you and Anj are painting! And so many wonderful things too! I actually have a little Halloween project started, just need to do the shading and details now. I am really "rusty" and out of practice, haven't painted hardly at all for several months now. I need it though, it gives me pleasure and is a good stress reducer too! Belle, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I hope he will find a way to keep playing cards with all of you, he will need that! I'm glad we sent some of our hot weather your way--I don't like it when we get into the three digits! We're still in the 90's but supposed to be in the upper 80's this weekend. So good that your family comes out to help with projects. I'm with you, I'd love to have a housekeeper. It's not that I mind doing housework so much--it's that it never stays done! LOL I've seen Punk over on holidays, so maybe she will pop over here soon for an update. Take care, Luvs

Thanks everyone. I've poked around Houzz and love some of the ideas there, but I don't know how stuff gets posted there. In any event, it's nice to be recognized. Of course part of the credit has to go to the many members of GW's forums. Without all of you, I'd still be figuring things out.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread before now! Great job, Jojoco! Productive, creative and fun. My grandmother built a dollhouse for my younger sister, but I think I loved it even more than she did. I always thought it would be great fun to do one. The only one I have done was inside a jewelry box. I remember the bed was a fabric covered penny and I thought a round bed was the coolest thing ever. It would be fun to do a standard sized one.

On my phone, I can choose the order and it stays on that setting. On my home computer (MacBook) I can’t choose and, even tho I use the same bookmark and browser every time, the order is usually newest to oldest but often switches back to oldest to newest. I did add this to the poll started by Emily on the other side. I also voiced my objections to the best answer feature.
