This was very interesting Edie. I am a 'want to B' project/crafter also. My friend, B, is talented like you with your list of things you create. I am kind of jealous of you girls. :) I have an idea for a post if you are ever lacking for ideas. I would Love to see your crosses, know which one is a favorite and why. My sister gave me two new turtles for Thanksgiving.:) Ever since she heard my first turtle story, she can't pass one up if she thinks they are special. (Aren't all turtles special?) I can't wait to write about one of them Tuesday. Onions....Have you ever had Vidalia Onion casserole? I had it years ago. I was pregnant and I couldn't handle the smell, but lots of people loved it! Anyway, that was a fab five list! Take care. B

Wow those could have been my answers. I think about 99% of mine would be the same. Mainly just the kids names were different. Great post. I loved the photos.
