Twiggy: Mother May I? I'll happily make the long distance call to let them have it for their unmitigated rudeness. I'll even happily let the Mommy Dearest know why her uncivilized brat has been banned from all Twigland celebrations.

Please, please, please???? Salivating at the thought....

Right now, I am pondering Poe. I had initially planned to use my copy of Danielle Steel's Mirror Image for the altered book round robin I have joined. The theme possibilities abounded: What you see in a mirror, Rorschach images, positive/negative images, Through the Looking Glass, reflections, etc.

I was excited, and then realized the book wasn't thick enough. It is only 1" thick and it needed to be a minimum of 1.50".

BUT, I scoured my stack of books, and then DH's. My eyes lit on the 1992 Easter present I bought him: Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar
Allan Poe
. Not including covers, it is 1.75" thick. Now to think up a theme.

DH suggested horror. But I already have a book themed "Things That Make You Shudder," so it seems redundant. So, I turn to you, my fellow TVCHers. I'm going to do some Poe research, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Given the body of work Poe encompasses, can anyone thing of themes for my art project?

Llkunk.. LOL! These girls will be in my daughter's class next year and I'm trying to be civil. BUT it's hard!

I have Poe on my shelf, too. I LOVE to read, when there is time. The Raven is probably the most obvious theme, but it would be easiest.

Right now, I'm disappointed I can deal with the party crashers, but thrilled that I just found needed studs for my shelves.

A friend of ours came over, and I had asked DH to ask the friend to please bring his stud finder. DH looked at me, appalled and noted that he was NOT going to ask one of his guy pals to bring over a stud finder.

He ended up saying: "Hey, D. Laurie wants to hang some shelves and needs to find the wall support thingies." I snorted at the writer and editor saying "thingies." He told me not to be 4. I told him his inability to say "stud finder" made him 2. D agreed.

right now, that reminds me of my 6'4" brother-in-law who wouldn't say 'rootie tootie fruity breakfast' or whatever denny's used to have. he would say, "you know, that special you're having" and make the waitress say it and then say, "yeah, that's it!"

Right now, I decided to mention I started a new thread in the Hobby Folder on The Art of Altering.

I put in images of my altered book spreads and one altered journal (and more of those will be coming--I need to make up some this weekend).

If you've ever written in a book or dog-earred a corner, come check it out.

Right now I'm wondering if Julia Robert's is only 2-3 months pregnant, how do they know her twins are a boy and a girl already? I'm assuming amnio, but do they do it that early? (Just curious.)

right now, a lady dj on bob and tom was asking the same thing--julia is supposedly 9 weeks pregnant and knows she is having a girl and a boy. hmmmmm...amnios are done usually around 16 weeks, sometimes as early as 14 weeks.
there are other tests, done vaginally, but i as surprised they could tell what sex this early.
of course, if you have fame and money, you can probably have anything done whenever you want!

Right now I'm just here to say that anyone "missing" Andrew Savage as the host of Seattle Star Search isn't really missing much. I don't think he's doing a very good job. (IMHO) Right on, Right on....(LOL)

Right now, I hope Tabby has a colorfully decorated litter box soon.

Right now, I had actually come in to say that I got the email allowing for books of 1", as long as notes are placed to make niches shallow.

SO, I am back to Mirror Image.

Thank you everyone for your EAP suggestions. They were most helpful. I ended up with 30 different ideas, and I wouldn't be surprised if, at some point, I converted EAP to an AB.

Right now, my little kitten decided he should go for a swim in the pool. All of a sudden, I see this drenched kitty climbing out in shock! Now, he's lying by my side. I don't think he will be doing that very soon , will you Brady?

right now, actually, the cat ate birthday ribbon, the kind you can curl up. i had removed it from a bag wrapped gift i gave to a male co-worker, because it was purple, and kinda girly.
i keep reading nightmare stories about 800 dollar vet bills to do surgery. this cat had best get pooping purple!

right now, we just caught a mouse in the dining room. unfortunately, it got caught only partially in the trap and started carrying the trap around with it. dd didn't know we had set a trap and she came to me and said, "there is something jumping around in the dining room!" ugh.

Right now I am wondering how Julia Roberts can know at 9 weeks she's having a boy. Stems do not come out of the apple until 10 weeks, minimum.

Right now I am going to see if I can find Tess's words.
