Wow! What a list.
re: #64 - that's ambitious!
My word for verification today is "ackyases". I thought you'd like it.
Well, I have a little time on my hands. Of course, I should stop wasting it!
I tried to leave a comment about your last list, but blogger must have been hungry that day. Anyway,
please tell me more about the Main Line Stitch n' Bitch that you were too chicken to attend. I belong to a sampler guild that meets in Hockessin, DE, but I live in Montgomery County, PA and would welcome something closer.
Also, please tell me more about the merit badges from "You Can Do It."
Love your list and your organization! I'll be borrowing your notebook idea when I do my new list this month.
Susan, I couldn't find your e-mail address to respond. The info about the ML SNB is here. (They had to lose the stitch n bitch name.)
You Can Do It is a book for your inner girl scout.
