Okay, y'all, you are TOO GOOD! - I'll say, yep - I'll do it - on ONE condition - I can do it with a Sharpie marker!!! I have the "caterpillar-ends-as-boa-constrictor" phobia that our dear Soap Maven mentioned above....
XOXO, Libbie

Actually my kids would flip if I really got a tattoo! They rolled their eyes when I had my nose pierced a couple of years ago! I thought it was cute-they thought I was having a midlife crisis!!!LOL!
Susan and Libbie-loved the boa-constrictor/luna moth description!
Bev- I'm really not wild! Just a 13 year old living in a 48 year old body! Sooo immature! LOL!

I like ALL of them.. T's , Bumper Stickers.. Pins.. I think there has to be more that we aren't thinking of.. OOOHH.. printed on T-Towels!! That sounds Cute too.. ! & that Tattoo!! Ok.. secret's out.. i ALWAYS wanted one..! My kids would love it.. My husband would have a mortal melt down.. neither of us have one.. ( my sons do.. my daughter does not..) I used to want Curious George peeking out of my bra strap years ago before he became popular.. But now he's too common.. so I'm glad I nixed that.. BUT.. ( & I've mentioned my back before..) I have a scar on my lower back from surgery..) Do you remember Harold & the Purple Crayon? Well.. I always though he with a set of blue prints.. & a Crane.. & the beggining stages of the Eifel Tower Starting around my scar.. ?
ok.. sorry.. off the subject.. Maybe Tattoo's should have it's own subject..
But.. before I get TOO old.. & TOO Saggy.. & things would be TOO unrecognizable!! I would like one.. SOMEWHERE!!
Not my Bicep though.. I would look like i should be carrying my wallet in my back pocket!
ok.. Aprons.. we have some great ideas!!! this is not even a week away!!!

I'm thinking NOT! My hip!
Ya know.. I remember when i was younger & i looked at a certain size & looked at my sister. & i said.. Wow.. if i ever get to be THIS size.. you better tell me!! or... just shoot me!! well, naturally i am well past that size.. & i also remember looking at women I wondering when does this happen, that your butt starts growing up your back? .. I can't remember the exact date of course.. except i know that my daughter is forever on my case to stop wearing my pants so high now!! I tell her that THIS IS WHERE MY WAIST IS JENNIFER!! Just under my Bra!! So.. i wish i could remember the exact moment this happens. & i could go back & stop it.. but i don't..
So.. no Mima.. Not The hip.. because I think that may really be my rib or armpit..

YOU are funny!! anytime i see a post from you I have to quik go see what your doing!
Yeah.. we'd have alot of fun..
I do like to make people laugh though.. seems my best stories are always about myself though.... stupid things I've done.. *sigh*..
I'll have to tell you some one day.. like getting stuck up in the tree.. i really am a clutz too.. besides being a ding bat..!
I called in sick today.. had a horrible Migraine last night.. but started feeling better about an hour ago.. so.. i think I'm going to go start on another Lumber Jack Apron!

I'll be 47 this summer.. & i have a scab on my knee from falling down the other day because i was too busy looking at something in my sisters garden & missed a step.. WHO does this?? I'm an idiot! And nosy too! I trip on my own feet for God's sake!
I got a new bike last fall.. want to know why?
Because i wrecked & fell off my other one by miss calculating the stupid curb!.. went sailing right over the stupid handle bars!! & bent the entire bicycle frame when i wrecked it!!!
& yes.. of course I had an audiance..
misery...
AND I had on these hideous coral colored capris so when i went into the bushes head 1st My rear end was sticking up.. My daughter said i looked like Whinnie the Pooh stuck looking for honey!
ok.. I have to stop doing this here!!
APRONS!!
I get off the subject too much!!
We need to start a subject about stupid or clumsy things you do..

You girls are great ~ so refreshing and fun! But to get back to topic for a moment (lol) I'm working on checkbook covers right now that have my world famous saying with an aproned lady. Anybody interested in that? $4 plus postage (probably under a dollar). More coming!
Farmgirl hug,
Patricia

Oh i do like that!!..
Yes.. i think $4.00 is plenty cheap enough..
Is it going to be cloth.. or what?
yes.. $4.00 is way cheep.. I know i think i paid like $16.00 for my last one.. & it wasn't even leather.. it was just a vinyl thing.. ( Curious George..) i thought i was he only one that still used checks anymore!! i have my debit card.. but i love the stupid pictures.. so i still order the checks!
yes.. lets do the check book covers too!
I'm trying to fiddle with the Tea Towels & the Bias tape but you know I'm so clumsy.. they just don't look quite right..
( i am so addicted to Bias Tape right now! )
OH.. !! I got the book last night for Mothers day from my husband!!! i'll have to remember to post that somewhere! Isn't he such a Pumpkin? Mary Janes Stitching Room Book!! see..I wasn't too far off track.. book.. bias tape.. towels..aprons.. it eventually came back around again..
Sorry!!

OK, Kathy - you can pay $16 (lol). It's a clear vinyl with a collage insert and the phrase, of course. I"ll have them ready by early next week and post again.
Thanks gals!

It's just the price he'll have to pay being married to a True Blue Farm Girl!!.. !
Can you imagine my guys face the 1st time he ripped out a curious Geouge check.. ? wow.. what a look i got!
I suggest you split the box up & he gets the numbers from the top of the box.. & you get the numbers from the bottom.. & when you meet in the middle.. You order a new box!

OK, ladies, I have completed the first checkbook cover. This link will take you to it:

They come in a clear vinyl cover and sell for $4 plus 2 - 39cent stamps or 78 cents for postage. You can pay me by Paypal (my name is Petreader) or send me a check. They should be ready to ship by early next week. First come, first served!
I hope you like them - more to come.

Back to the buttons idea, how about just printing some of the graphics that were shared above on photo paper, then using some laminating paper (available at office-supply stores) to cover, and glueing on a pin back from a fabric store? Use a paper-cutting knife to cut for straight edges or even the scrapbook pinking shears....
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2
