And that's why I love you.

Because you are always here when I need a good opinion! Thanks gals! I decided to do a little sneak giveaway for all of your help. When I started this post there were 22 comments and the Random Number was 7, that's Amy! Amy, email me at mamacaffee@hotmail.com and tell me what pattern you would like to own.

And for everyone else, I'm going to make that little floral design an embroidery download today and I'll have it up by tomorrow.

Let me tell you what I picked. I agreed with most of you, that the first and last were the best for all areas, but that the second one was cute because of the color, so I did both. Whatever I picked had to be lightened to represent the wrong side anyhow, so I chose the top one for the wrong side and the last brighter one for the right side. I like it! I also printed it out in black and white last night and it looked good. They show up in different shades of gray and the outline shows up in black, so it was perfect. Thank you all so much for your input! I knew I could count on you! I'm off to work on the embroidery download. I think I will make it in three different sizes. xo, Sam

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
