I will never forget where I was when I found out about that devasting news. I was on the 8th floor of my dorm getting onto the elevator. There was a guy already in the elevator. I'm not the type to talk to strangers on the...

flipper0 Very fun post! I did great until 7 swans-a-swimming. I remember ladies dancing and lords-a-leaping and drummers drumming, but have no idea right now where they fall in the order. I can't even think of the two missing groups! I guess my age is showing. Good...

flipper0 I don't create any clothing, so don't have occasion to use sew-in labels at all. However, I've been making beaded jewelry for years and selling it whenever and wherever the spirit moves me. Originally, I (cleverly, I thought) bound the items with raffia or...

flipper0 rylan is precious! it's totally safe to "swaddle" your infant. if it's chilly in the house, you can wrap the baby just like they wrapped him in the hospital (swaddling, like the baby Jesus in the Christmas stories). all you have to pay attention to is if the...

flipper0 I used to be accused of language snobbery all the time. I just love words, and always loved using proper language and sentence structure. I lived all over, and never REALLY had a problem just laughing it off until I moved to the southern United States. Sheesh!...

Hugs are often needed. A study found that women benefit more from a hug than men do. I don't know if this is true, but I love hugging. Who was the last person you hugged?
