quilt, too. Then she had some darling paper dolls - that were so elegant - with gowns and business suits - to die for. I would love to dress like that, too. Hehehe! We went through some of my doilies and she purchase some for her and some for a friend - that was a sweet thing to do to help Rick and I out some. We did also have a ball talking about jewelry - I had some pieces that were my Mother's - that more than likely were my Grandmother's - but Terri has an eye for jewelry and she did suggest that I go to a shop and have them appraised - it was a great visit and I do believe that we learned alot about each other - we talked about a variety of things - going on in our lives and had such a good time - but she was traveling through and had to get home - we asked Rick if he could take a picture of the two of us - it was difficult to hold the camera with one hand and also take the picture - but I think he did a pretty good job - what do you think? Isn't this great to have another CUTE family member close enough to stop by during their travels - how far away do you live from us Terri?

You let Rick know that the did a great job. So good to see that Twee could be there with you - and maybe she will get you enough orders that you are going to have to prepare more doilies. And it sure helps the spirits to have time to chat with a friend. Hugs.

Oh my dear, I will tell him and he will be thrilled to know you think so, too. Yes, perhaps she will - that would be a blessing. Yes, it does help the spirits, too. Hugs, my dear!

That's awesome Shirlene... 40 miles isn't far at all. Shoot, I drive 24 one way to work. It's sure nice to have a friend close by to piddle around with. You girls are truly blessed!

Teri, thank you so much - that isn't that far - I used to travel 28 just to go to the sewing center in NC...I am glad that you have someone that moved from CA to TX that is a friend close by for you to piddle around with, too. Yes, we are all blessed to have one and another. Love!

I think I live about 40 miles north of you. I do travel that road a bit because my daughter lives in SL, and I work with the student ambassadors that I am taking to OZ. But, I think there will be times that I just travel to Shirlenes, and I'm hoping her and Rick will come north. I have a summer cold so the pic isn't my best. My nose is red and sore.

When you say you are going to Oz, do you mean Aus downunder?

shirlener88 by shirlener88 17 May 2010

Terri, you are so kind to share how far you live away - I thought it was further - but then I must have traveled up that way - when I was younger - Hehehe! You might have an excuse for your nose - but what about my face - I am redder than you? Hehehe!

Terre, thank you so much - Rick will be thrilled you thought so - it isn't easy to do it with one hand. Thanks so much - keep hoping - you might find someone close to you, too. And it was wonderful.

Hi Shirlene,

What great pictures of the two of you. I am so pleased Terri is so close to you. It's good to have someone drop in every now and again.

Rick did an awesome job of taking the picture too!

The closest CUTIE to me is TUBBY and he only lives about a 35-40 minute drive away.

Love and blessings to you Chris

Karma, when I first learned to embroider - I went to a class and had lots of friends - all around where I lived in NC - so on any good or bad day - I might have a friend on the phone or email - sitting next to me - asking or telling me what to do next with the project we might be working on - it has been hard - since I moved to UT to find an embroidery friend - so I am thrilled and tickled pink that it is also a CUTE family member - thank you so much - I will tell Rick what you said, too. It is good to be smiling, as well.
