Isn't this fun, Pinky?

If this is what you call fun Lucy, I sure wouldn't want to spend a whole day with you. Not alone our trip to FL to visit MTH

Lucy, I'm just proud of myself for not freaking out and giving this a chance! The fun for yesterday was trying something, and it actuallyworking! Today feels much more back to normal already. The good times will continue here on the home forum, and will be even better every day!

Party on, Lucy, party on, Q shoppers! lol pinky

Good Morning Pinky. I agree...this is a bit awkward, but we will all get used to it soon enough. Besides....this is too good a party to stop now, especially with CIJ coming.

Good for you. I knew we'd all figure out enough to keep the party going. We have too much fun to give up. This page is just flipping around on me. pinky ann, I'm so glad you kept working on this new thing. We're partying on for sure.

JPC, I can have fun with almost anything. When life hands me lemons, well you know the story. Don't worry, we'll have fun in Florida. My Gdaughter lives in Key Largo and she's just like me. We'll go right after the holidays. Margaritas on the beach. Bahaha

Hi littlearl, you did it. We're all getting ready for that fun time, CIJ, Harvest and on the rest of the year. Great times on here.

Hi doolie, I'm with you. It's always so much fun and lots of folks posting their finds on here for us to check out. I love it.

It is hard getting used to this new site. So I just read the July insider with Jill on the cover decorating a Christmas tree and there are new CIJ items coming soon. I am looking forward to the shows. Some are just reorders though.

Hi Gang! Looks like it's true confessions time here at the Christmas in July thread. Yep, I have a few today. I went fun shopping this morning, as opposed to groceries etc. I've passed this little shop that opened on the way to the shopping center, and finally stopped today.

I found a terrific barn star, done in rust type finish, 24 inch size that I love. I've been looking for the right one for at least a year. They had an adorable little blue glazed door with a berry spray attached to the front,( about 6x10 inches) with a big star cut out, for the upstairs hallway, and two nice, very full, very pretty berry branch spray bunches with berries in a maroonish (?) color that will be able to stay out all year. They're sizable, in that they'll fit any large pitcher or vase and the price was terrific too.

I don't know exactly what got into me this morning, but while I was out, I stopped to pick up an additional bathroom carpet for the downstairs bathroom. Waiting in line to check out, (this wasn't the great little shop, that was next ), there was only 1 checker, and at least 12 of us in line. Everyone was smiley though, and in good spirits, but I wanted to get done and move on to the "good shopping" !

So all of a sudden, I figure I'll get someone's attention to come and wait on us, and I called out, loudly, "CHECK OUT IN AISLE 5!!!!!!" The whole line of people were in shock, and just laughing while I looked around pretending it wasn't me!!! LOL In less than a minute 2 other registers plus jewelry opened up, and we moved right along after that. They opened register 6, which ajoined number 5, and I said,"See, next time you won't doubt me!"....

I laugh just thinking about it as it's so out of my character. I'm such a wallflower most of the time... but hanging around the boards has brought out my more....expressive side? Anyhoo, had to share this story. Congratulations if you got to the end! It got a little wordy! pinky
