Maybe my husband would disagree. These days I try to be selective. I did buy some things in Ecuador, but only things I really liked and can live with for many years. Maybe I need to take a walk through the house with new eyes.

I thought I get a reaction, about the brown crosstiched art work, yep it´s staying, but its NOT gonna be on my wall.... <BR/><BR/>In answer to Pippi, I too like shoe boxes, and as I told you before LS used to put pictures all over them in collage.

I remember us recording Melodifestivalen on mom's tape recorder from the TV - all of us had to be really quiet, and it didn't work very well. The quality was, you know, absolutely horrible. I have my tapes too, LShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13135583903768049008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-65893567449013562142008-02-02T13:09:00.000-05:002008-02-02T13:09:00.000-05:00Nice to hear about all your boxes.

Patience is the word here - the three-masted ship I am now building (and which is very close to ready) has been going on for six years, I found out the other day! And I have two models I have started on but which are resting until the big ship model is out of the way.<BR/><BR/>A practical advice: A full household is a lot of boxes.
