Love laughing and lifes irony. Rather shop in athrift shop than a dept store any day.

Comment: Oh, My.......such wonderful goodies. I am excited to get the ruffler. I have one and have actually used it. Now I can give this one to my daughter so she can stop borrowing mine!! And by the way, there is no such thing as ugly fabric, some is just not as pretty as others!! Thanks so much for the swap and the goodies. I know I will come up with something to do with all of the lovelies.
