Lets see..........in my craft/junk room inventory few doz. mixed spoons have cost $0 20 inch ring have cost $0 6 sm baby food jars have cost $0 chain (lots) have cost $0 miles of copper wire have cost traded beads $0 time to assemble 2hrs? I'll work on project while dish washer , clothes washer and robot vacumm are running so No cost for my time. Yeah I'm positive most of us could do it for practicly nothing. I wonder where and how the folk at VTCo. manage to come up with those crazy amounts? Then what kind of person would pay such nutzo prices? CT

Neat! I have way too many decorations, so I would pass,but it is a great idea!

Polly, enjoyed your story about your adorable 7 year old. That will be a memory you can cherish forever! I must admit I too thought the "she" who went to the show was your daughter, but it didn't diminish my enjoyment of your story. And when posters questioned the lack of a permission slip to go on a trip, I didn't pay too much attention. But then...OMG, the attacks. Totally out of line. Asking for clarification is okay, attacking the OP is not. I will admit I'm more of a general idea person, and as someone pointed out, decorators are more detail oriented. I got the general idea: this was a cherished moment with your daughter and you were amazed at her intellect, which you should be. (BTW, I think you have a creative, high level thinker on your hands, so make sure you are stashing the cash for her college education!) I just don't get the need to attack you because of the way you constructed the sentence containing the pronoun "she". Yes, detailed oriented folks find that irritating, but I just wish posters would have responded in the spirit in which the thread was begun. When you wrote it, you knew what you meant, and were not spending hours editing it for perfection. Most of us would have written it the same way you did. Polly, give your daughter a hug for me, and tell her that someone out there in cyberworld thinks she is a great kid now and has a fantastic future ahead of her. You must be so proud of her!

Pamelad oooooo That is so nice and the colour is wonderful! Just what we need on a dreary day. Grinch Gut...I think I am also going to hang mine up. Maybe I will get sick of it in it's boring state and be driven to inspiration. It has been sitting out in the garage for safe keeping and wouldn't you know it...it tipped over and one pane smashed. I can't even blame anyone else as none of the three males in my family go near the garage LOL Ann
