Halloween 2006

Firstborn was given the assignment of listing all the types of spiders he can remember.

He included the California Barking Spider.

He didn't get any credit for it. Can you believe?

Really bad advertising ideas

DH laughs every time he hears this tag line:

"Have a happy period."

Just proof that the advertising industry is male dominated.


But then, the other day, I'm watching kids TV and saw this barb commercial.

Makes me wish my nieces were still into barb. Just the thing to add to the collection. Yes, I did buy the peeing cat for them years ago, but the pooping dog. . . Well I would have to think about that one.

Sharing

This is a picture I took last fall of some of the bracelets I have been making using bead crochet. I didn't expect to take so long to put them up. These ones were mostly for teachers, nieces and sisters for Christmas.

It's a hobby that keeps me very busy. I'll have to gather up some of the others I have finished since Christmas 05. Most of those were for me. I think I only completed one for someone else. They are lots of fun and very portable.
