awh, congrats on the new addition coming! I'm not crafty either... I actually SUCK at it! My sis in law can make anything and yet, I'm left with very little craftiness, lol. You'll come up with something beautiful, I'm sure of it! Glad you're feeling back on track these days! Good luck dropping those lbs!!

Thanks for commenting on my journal and I'm glad I'm motivating someone with my NON-loss, lol. We've got a lot in common as I've never been able to give up the "hooch" while dieting. My sister's father in law's word for alchohol. I'm going on a cruise in 2 weeks! Anyway, have a great time in Cabo and you've got to find way to save money for that trip to Hawaii, at least you'd have a place to stay!

Hey Lorik, I'm the same as you! My sister got all the creativeness and I just got stuck with the brains, ha ha.

Thanks! My family keeps teasing me that if my boyfriend and I were to get married I'd be a grandma at 35. Considering me having children has never EVER been anything I wanted they are loving the thought of me having a psuedo step grandkid. They are easy people to entertain. heh. I suck at the crafts too. The only thing I've ever been sorta able to do is the cross stitch but I get bored and never finish them...or i'll count wrong and get so mad that I toss the whole thing. I tend to show a lot of immaturity when I try artsy stuff.

LOL, glad to hear that being non crafty hasn't just singled me out, I was feeling a little "stupid" there for a minute, he he he

One thing I have seen done for baby showers that might work. Get a baby blanket with nice trim on it but no design, just white in the center. Have people important to the baby sign it with a washable marker. Then needle point over the signatures in different colors. It's very personal very easy and has a lot of meaning! After you are done stitching over the signatures you can pop it in the washer on gentle (by itself I would advise against washing other things with it this first time) and then hang dry.

My pup woke me up early too - she came and bumped her nose into mine which signaled she had to go outside NOW! Those furry friends are just too funny. You must be so excited for your trip - sounds like an absolutely relaxing time! And remember, there really aren't any calories in that salsa!!!! (Shhhh, we just won't mention the chips and beer.) Congrats on the grandbaby!

You're looking for snow already? Where are you located? Congrats on the new addition coming to your family. How exciting! I'm TERRIBLE at crafts too. Just not talented in that area. Add me to the No-Craft-Talent club! LOL. Kudos for getting back on track. Hang in there! :)

Thanks for the congrats and all! It's so nice to see a couple actually want and try for a baby and get one...it always seems to be the other way around...or maybe I'm just jaded because my mom worked in social services so I know how many unwanted kids are out there.
mbhpro...I live in Denver...well, one town over. Right now the skys are white and there is mist but no snow yet...they are thinking tonight maybe...nothing that'll really stick but it's still snow!
