I believe you were talking about barbecues or barbecue sauces. And it sounded delicious!<BR/><BR/>Leslie,<BR/>~~Hawaiian print would hardly have been appropriate for that.

I love that photo board, but when my Dad passed away, I used plain old black poster boards, put the photos on them, and used gold ink to write the dates. I guess that was okay considering the occasion.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-75708226491823202892008-04-01T13:50:00.000-05:002008-04-01T13:50:00.000-05:00Gee - This is pretty much a random visit, but I th...Gee - This is pretty much a random visit, but I thought it was time I returned the favor of your looking in on my blog a few months ago — especially given the fact that we have so many Blogger friends in common (most notably Michael and Miss Josie).<BR/><BR/>You have a delightful blog that I've barely scratched the surface of. I look forward to seeing more of it.<BR/><BR/>And as far as the sewing scissors are concerned, my wife's fabric shears are never to be used on anything else under penalty of death! <BR/><BR/>You are obviously very talented and extremely nice to do something so wonderful like this for your in-laws.<BR/><BR/>Oh and BTW, my wife's and my 30th wedding anniversary is coming up next March, so if ya feel so inspired... <BR/><BR/>;)AJ in Nashvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501112266414737179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-23913095623366684362008-04-01T01:16:00.000-05:002008-04-01T01:16:00.000-05:00Jocelyn,~~No, I'm too picky to do that.

The staple gun I'm using doesn't push the staples all the way into the board so I could use all the same staples, just thread new stuff through there. I hope I find more of the same, though.geewitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590044820333720010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-71799572174063235062008-03-31T23:15:00.000-05:002008-03-31T23:15:00.000-05:00Hmmm, or you might have to use two different color...Hmmm, or you might have to use two different colors of ribbon? <BR/><BR/>I'm so impressed with all your efforts, especially in the face of that pain.

At least not a regular guy. Maybe a metro-sexual guy would, though I am not exactly sure what that means I have an idea.<BR/><BR/>If it were left to me, well, I would put the photos in a photo album (not real creative) or maybe get some poster board and tape them up on that! Primitive, yes, but.... Well, women do things like this much better than guys do.<BR/><BR/>I would probably make sure there was a keg of beer, grill stuff like brats and maybe steaks, and that we had plenty of chips and dip and that the big screen TV was working good .....! I have a feeling my ideas might get knocked down for being crude, but I think the guys would like it...<BR/><BR/>I would like the idea of having a big cake to eat with everyone - but the idea of grilling steaks and brats and having a cold keg of beer sounds like my type of gathering!<BR/><BR/>Okay. I guess we could drink the beer out of glasses instead of plastic cups if we wanted to be a little fancy!<BR/><BR/>Seriously, looks like you are doing a great job!!

That picture board is ...Wow Gee, you are so crafty! That picture board is super nifty, and I like how you have the picture "woven in" cause it matches the criss-cross pattern in your ribbon. Clever idea for the heart too! Also, that material and ribbon are beautiful. Hawaiian with a romantic touch; just what you intended! Nice! By the way, did you find more ribbon the same color? We went through this last summer with my son's wedding. It's nice to have more stores to run check if you need to. If you have to get thumb surgery, I'll bring you ice cream! Yeah, I know it's suppose to be for tonsils, but hey, ice cream is good for any surgery.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05490541397187821264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16041225.post-91882293968579313732008-03-31T08:41:00.000-05:002008-03-31T08:41:00.000-05:00Wow, I'm impressed!

I don't know if you sew, but sewing scissors can NOT be used to just cut "stuff." And husbands and daughters don't seem to get that.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the thunb thought.
