Bluzeman, you better not go anywhere!!!! Even though I dont post here, I do read it. We had 16 pages of pictures in today's paper regarding our tornado.

Welcome, sunnyfla, you guys have hurricanes and we have tornadoes. We also have 4 seasons, but you cant tell it right now. It was 77 degrees Saturday. Perfect day for a yard sale which I had. Then the tornado hit Sunday 2am. Devastated a horse track, Ellis Park, which is a mile from me (as the crow flies) not to mention 22 dead at least. Please say a prayer for those affected by this. Thanks.... and again, welcome aboard.

Hey You All!!! I have been busy with a yard sale and then went to my Mom's and stayed all afternoon and evening. Some of my family was there also. Anyway, I love how this thread has evolved. Thanks to all of you who have contributed. Wacky, I may try the drop spindling. Sounds like fun. Thanks for the history lesson too!!! Our area was hit by a tornado yesterday morning and at least 22 are dead. Evansville, Newburgh, IN, area. Ellis Park is about a mile from my home (as the crow flies). Anyway, Scott that I mentioned in an earlier thread lives in Evansville and his business is in Newburgh, but I think he may be ok. I will definitely try to call him tomorrow. Also a few miles away in Crittenden County and another county in KY was damaged by the tornado. Sure thankful to be alive and safe and sound. Say a special prayer for all those that have been affected, please. Keep posting, you all, ok???!!! I love all the ideas, etc.

Wow, I wish I could be as fancy as everyone else, but this little greeting will have to do. Hope your Halloween birthday is as fine as the best wine in the world.

Belle, Happy Belated Birthday to you!!!!!!!!.... I was away from the computer the past couple of days. Sorry I missed it, but I hope your birthday was the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, WaterBuffalo. Hope you hear some good bluegrass music and have a wonderful day.

Happy Belated Birthday, CW. Hope all is well with you.

Wacky, buying a small supply and trying my hand at it is what I am going to do. Thanks for that suggestion. I will also call Scott, Jet. He isnt open on Monday so I will call tomorrow. No, I am not into gardening, just that I have a big lawn. Mowing, weed eating, sweeping off the grass clippings, and watering takes alot of my time in the summer. Again, thanks for all the ideas. Will let you all know what transpires.

Oh my goodness. So many great ideas, suggestions, tips. Thank you all so much. I knew I could count on the GS'ers for their input. Thank you again!!! I have never made candles, but I love candles. Plus, at the antique show that Chatty and I were at last weekend, the vendor next to us had several people asking about his candles. (Each year, he had a variety of scented candles for sale. This year, however, the lady who made them is moving to MI and he did not have any to sell.) So I thought that I might be able to take over where the lady left off. I plan on contacting Scott next week and asking a few questions. Plus, my hubby knows a guy in OH who makes candles, mostly for fundraisers. He does it on the side and makes good money for his time, or so he says. Wacky, I am afraid to look at NICE yarn!!! I do appreciate quality, but I give alot of my scarves away. There are a couple of high-end stores in Evansville, which I have been to the one, and may visit the other one if I go talk to Scott, since they are located on the same block. I am still trying to decide what to do with some of my spare time. With winter coming on, I won't have to spend as much time working on our big lawn. Please keep the ideas coming. Who knows, they may inspire more than JUST ME!!!!!!!!!!

Shell, you are so right. Has your daughter and her friend seen the latest in purses? The ones made out of old jeans? They are so cool. Ebay has a ton of them for sale. And knitting is so much fun. In fact, the shawl that I have on in the pix that I posted of the antique show and gala is one that I made. It is so warm that I had to take it off during the gala a time or two. Do you have a Big Lots store where you live? Every now and then, they have yarn. I have bought several skeins of yarn there. Also, the Target here right now (in the front of the store) has pink, mulitcolored pink, yellow, etc, brown, and more yarn, for $1.00 per skein. It takes about 2 to make a scarf. And they have the short eyelash yarn, but that is a real pain to knit. Thanks for telling me about your daughter and her friend. It put a smile on my face.

Great suggestions. Somehow I thought you might have done candles before. You are a very crafty person. I took up knitting about a year ago, and have been a knitting fool. If I may ask, where do you purchase your supplies??? Thanks for the tips. Anything else you think of, please post it.

Hey, All. I am thinking of getting into the candle-making business. Have any of you tried it? Are you doing it now? What can you tell me about your experiences? I went to the library and checked out two books. One book was written in the 60's, the other in the 70's. I just BET that candle making has come a long way since then!!!!! Thanks in advance for any information that you wonderful GS'ers provide!!

Sure glad that you all made it out of Mexico safely and are now back on American soil, United States of American soil, that is!!!!

Only if you promise to behave. I have to admit, though, at least, the alarm didnt go off this time!!!!!!!!! What's up with that????!!!! heehee Please buy a #6 Mark Martin shirt before next year, ok?????????????????

Hey ChattyKathy, Ted, Moony, etc.... I posted 3 pix from our gala and antique show...and I did not post any of you, Kathy.... I obeyed you without question!!!

Happy Birthday, Wayfer Not. Hope you have made it home safely from Mexico. Please post as soon as you can.

Happy Birthday, dmiller. I have had company since Thursday nite (ChattyKathy) and she has tied up the internet!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding. Been too tired after the antique show each nite to sign off. That's the truth!!! Anyway, I am thrilled that you had a great birthday.

Linda Z, you are so correct!!! But, when I saw your name the other day, I just HAD to tell you and outofdafog, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. BTW, I wore my latest hat from you on Saturday of the antique show, and so many of the older ladies LOVED the hat. Thanx again. When I get the pix developed, I will email you!!!

Praying for your safe trip, Chatty. And, YES, we have to dress formal for tomorrow nite. It will be fun...kinda like 'make believe' !!!! heehee. See ya in a few hours.

Hey, Ladies, Happy Birthday to both of you.

Two more days, Kathy!!!!!!!!!!! Are you as excited as I am??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for the derail.... nah, not really.!!!!!!!!

I sent you a private message.

WAY too funny, outandabout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excathedra, I ditto what everyone has said thus far. ALSO, like Rascal said, you are the ONE person among others that struck my heart and made me see that the 'man' was not the 'man' that I thought he was. You are the one that I told my sister about, and now, after reading other posts on GS, she believes the truth about the 'man' who she absolutely adored. Please know that God does work in YOU. You have been a tremendous help to many. THANK YOU, Excathedra!!!!!!!!!!

Josh Turner, Long Black Train.... Hubby and I saw him in Memphis last year at the MidSouth Fair. His voice is as beautiful LIVE as it is on the CD. He is from SC. I forget the name of the town.
