Yes, Easter with Elmer's Chocolate Eggs in Louisiana and not in Missouri . . desperate times for this girl! Don't ask me why I love these and I am NOT a chocolate fan. Every time I say that, Vince says "You eat chocolate all the time." I do not. I like Almond Joy and Snickers Almond bars but maybe three or four times a year. Elmer's Chocolate Eggs . . I could eat three or four of them a day for ...
March Azure Standard Order
Azure Standard is my favorite place to shop. It isn't for everyone. I love shopping for several weeks - adding things as I think of them. Then right before the cut off date for the order, I will go back and tweak it and see which things I can mark off. I try to keep my order around $500 or less per month. I will go over if there are a lot of things that are on sale but they aren't things I ...
An Easy Bread Recipe – Maybe
First off, let me tell you I have not tried this recipe but I've never had a recipe from Alexandra's Kitchen that I haven't loved so I have no reservations about sending you on a path I have not yet traveled.

What I thought was going to cause me to go shopping was the floss organization system she was showing and I will think more about that but she showed some of the cutest little wooden stand-ups she had made using ...
Furniture Delivery
I know my problems are small compared to many but today (Thursday) was our furniture delivery day. Actually, delivery was one recliner. They were taking away the loveseat we bought last year and it is going to an upholstery guy to re-stuff the cushions and they were hauling away our old sofa. The furniture store will no longer take away old furniture for free but now they charge $50 for a sofa. ...
The Maker and The Needle Progress
There is decent progress on The Maker and The Needle Progress and I am enjoying stitching it. Mine will look a bit different than the others because I obviously can't count or read! :) I do not like counting those tiny holes so I stitched some of the words and then count up from there. The base of the center tree was supposed to start over the "E" but it was the "E" in Needle . . NOT ...
