Mo, that's how I feel about the pretty egg plate. Too pretty to cover up with real eggs. By the way, I am really sorry you are having anxiety issues about your husband's trip. Anxiety is terrible to deal with. I hope maybe you can talk yourself into some decorating, it truly helps to stay occupied. Plus being surrounded by pretty things and a festive looks helps one's mood too I believe. I know nights make anxiety far worse, and I will be thinking about you. You can join the slumber party here that Yacht and I usually do. LOL. We don't sleep at night due to pain, so our computers keep us going. Jeanne, I didn't stretch $20. LOL. Wish I had. I can never seem to get out of Dollar Tree for less than $20, that is why I changed its name to reflect that. I think this time they got me for $23. And trust me, you don't want to know my Michaels bill. LOL. Dad gave me $100 to spend and I had no problem at all doing that between the two stores yesterday. They are side by side, so I frequently refer to them as "Double Trouble". hugs, Karen

Thanks everyone for all your comments. I'm running out of time to comment on each post. The little gal who works for me has been at Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle all week with her MIL to be. She had a wreck on her four wheeler and ended up being life flighted out. I need to boot scoot and get some things packaged to ship out before opening this morning. It's been a long week with porting phones from another carrier over to us. I'm exhausted trying to keep up but the results will be wonderful. Punk

Karen, I've never saved any Vintage cards on my computer because I don't have a color copier at home. I ended up trading printers with one from the office. We've quit using color there also. However DD has a color one at home so I could always have her print for me! Thanks I brought out the gloves last year after seeing Jane's and kept them with my Easter basket. I'm trying to be more organized and with all the ideas here it's helping. Candy, I thought of your sign when I seen that card too. Forgot to mention it so glad you brought it up. Jeanne, love your embossed Easter Bunny card. It's great that you put it out to share with your decorations. Duluthinbloom, thanks for all the info. Hope you will share pictures of some of your cards with us. Sounds like you knew when to pick them up and protect them. Nana, glad you enjoyed the cards and display on the sewing machine cab. Marylee, so happy to have you here with us and all your sweet comments. Jane, thanks for the comments and the idea to share the gloves for Easter decor. Marlene, I use to always wear gloves to church but guess none of them survived my growing up.LOL However, DSis may have ended up with them as she's always been the antique collector in the family. Magpie, that one is my favorite also. Hope you will find some real ones one day. Luvs, you are the one who insisted I come here and I'm so thankful you did.(Well most days)LOL Because of you I now cherish all the precious treasures from DM. Thanks again for being the 'Enabler' who turned on the light for me! Thanks for all the comments and I'll be sharing more in the future. Punk

Wait a minute!! When I opened the pack of these beautiful papers I could hardly stand the odor. Very dense metallic smell. I tried to put some fabric softener sheets inbetween them but after a couple of hours it still smells bad. I'm going to try and return the pack tomorrow. Maybe it was just a one pack smell problem and I'll see if the others smell also. I bought a small pack of gold tissue once to use as backgrounds and I couldn't use it either because of the smell. Maybe it is because of 180 sheets being compacted in a blister wrap.
