saki, i know...i'll tell a quick story...i had this huge coffin we made for a prank for a setup on year, i could store all my skellies and pumpkins in that monster...well it got rickkitie and i told my husband he could haul it to the dump after halloween, he was estatic, getting rid of something..lol....i had it by my drive in a little wooded area and kept it there and decided to put my jack and sally xmas blowups there and make it a nbc xmas scene for one of my xmas set ups..i do a huge yard scene, each area in kinda themes...it was so cute, with the purple and green lights a xmas tree and so on......so after xmas, i gave my husband the go ahead, haul it off and he was on his way to the dump......when he got there, no one was really around and he had to try to shove it in a raised crusher for wood, halfway in it got crowded and he had a crowd watching...as he shoves it in he turns and goes.........." well grandma couldnt afford a big funeral so she had to go economy"
he was so proud of himself....
Every house needs a nbc area :)

just whisper, just list themes you like and the colors you use and styles you like and what you dont like... i am sure you reaper could run with that information, i could. its really hard for me too to list, i love to make things for people...hope you are feeling better, i bet this will perk you up!!



Alkonost. Mostly. I just couldn't remember who to look for. LOL. Actually, the peppermints are not that fattening. But to be honest I had to share most of the brownies. I have a stomach malfunction and I could only eat one or two bites since they were so rich. Dammit! But they were so good. Thanks.

My list is so....so.....well i don't know what. But I don't feel good about it. I have been sick lately and my head feels muddled. I just can't think of anything I really want at all. Maybe because I already have too much. I do these exchanges mostly to give. I like the Pay-it-forward because I can send and not have to receive. LOL. But I love getting surprises. So just surprise me.
