HI Pat and all, I am still hanging around here too. I miss the folks on Candichat, and think about you often. Sort of miss Candis too, but am filling in with some Fashion Royalty here and there. It is too hard to get most of the line, but I found that joining the club made sure I got a couple of them last year, and that is enough for me. Still buying Vintage Barbie, and have returned to that more and more. Nothing much in the new Barbie line appeals to me, so I don't think I bought a one last year. Been on a sort of reduced dolly budget for the last year too. I got my Real Estate license in Jan of last year, and it is an incredibly expensive business to be in. I am in the hole $9,000 for working all last year. Doesn't seem fair to work that hard, and owe that much. LOL But, the worst of the fees and equipment are paid for, so hopefully this year, there will be a little extra money made. It has been different having to be at work after spending so much time home with Grayson. I still get to set my hours, so get to volunteer at his school, and be there when he gets home. He is in first grade and seven years old. Can you believe it? Here is a pic of the whole gang last summer. We had just hiked about 3 1/2 miles up a mountain, so may not look our best, but here we are: http://users.frii.com/mroczko/temp/group.JPG
Hugs to everyone.
