That does it ... I'm flying in (on my broom) tomorrow to beat up Dean. You poor thing having a tree that is pencil thin ... did he get it on clearance or what? ;) I have extra fat colored lights ... maybe they would make it look sorta pretty.
I like #24.
I actually wore PJs the whole day, innocently. They were a gift from my sis in Canada and for india they looked so good so I just wore them.My sis nearly died of laughing when i told her.
Thara, why didn't you like the weaving kit? I would have loved a weaving kit when I was a kid, but to be honest, I don't think they made 'em way back then.
