Wichita bound....and a new feature..

At this point I have no idea how I am going to get all the stitching stuff into one suitcase and clothes also...I'm taking three classes...one from Allie Allison and also one from Candace Kling.  I had a class from Allie in CT and she is so much fun... She just lives across the state from me and for both her classes I'll have gone cross country... Candace Kling also teaches in Seattle which is just across the state from me... So why travel so far to take classes I could take closer to home...?

Well the answer is Carol Samples... I have her templates and my book of stitches for Carole Samples to autograph already packed.  I love my templates but only use about 10 at the most out of the 36 and am anxious to soak up all she has to offer... I wish it were a longer class... She has a list of all we are to bring and it includes a "happy heart" which I will definitely be  bringing along...  When Morris was in the dog house for chewing up my favorite template, Carole kindly sent me a replacement to get Morris back into my good graces... For a picture of the Morris-modified template click here!

  During the giveaway I had people say they would sign up to be a follower but I didn`t have that feature on my blog... I started blogging about 3 1/2 years ago and  I didn't see the feature as that useful... People could sign up to be a follower but that didn't mean they actually did... I`m a follower on a lot of blogs that for one reason or another I never visit... So at that time I opted for a stat counter so I would know exactly how many visits I had..

But since I've been often asked, I've added it to the right sidebar...  And if you're not a follower and would like to have your picture added, I'd love to have you join in the fun.... I also found out since that it works the other way also...  I can click on the pictures of followers and visit their blogs and see their interests.... fun for me also!!!! Now a good time to thank all the lovely folks who have faithfully read all my ramblings over the years..  I am now up to almost 1000 posts (994 in fact.). I have a plan to celebrate that milestone...
