I Didn't Sign Up For This....

the Say It With Flowers blog hop that is.  My work schedule at school, as many of you know, is so chaotic that I knew I just couldn't commit to this hop. It's been so long since I've gotten to work in the sewing room that this week my housekeeper texted me "it's no fun cleaning your sewing room any more because there's nothing new in there!  :(  "  How sad is that!  But today I actually got to spend an hour or two there making gifts for a couple of friends.  I decided that since I was there, and I was making something, it really should have flowers in it in honor of the hop!  So here's what I made - a couple of trash bags for their cars.

If you didn't see the bloggers yesterday you missed a real treat.  I'm adding the whole schedule here so you can go back and so you can keep up.  It's the perfect season for Say It With Flowers!

Carol from JUST LET ME QUILT is our hostess and Madame Samm from Sew We Quilt is our creator/designer extraordinaire'.  Be sure and visit them as well for the complete schedule and the winners!

Seniors

At the school where I work there's a long standing tradition that seniors have a "Prank Day."  One year teachers arrived at school to find a full classroom set up on the roof of the gym.  (It had a flat roof.).  This year my office was the target.

Toilet paper and plastic wrap....."the best $12 investment I ever made" according to one of them.  Hmmmm, I think she might have been in the Principal's office enough times to get really familiar with the layout.  :)

I Just Wanted One Picture With Some Of My Grandchildren.....

Getting one picture proved to be a bit difficult.  Andrew had a little trouble with the concept of posing.....

A Bouquet of Irons

Sew We Quilt is having the most awesome giveaway for Mother's Day!  Not one, not two, but three Reliable Irons!  You must go visit right now so you don't miss out on this one!

For those of you who might not be familiar with Reliable let me tell you about their product and service....from personal experience.  As most of you know I'm a faithful follower of Sew We Quilt and love, love, love the wide variety of hops there as well as the incredible giveaways Madame Samm has.  For the longest time I read her descriptions of Reliable Irons and entered every time she had one to giveaway.  Of course she has thousands and thousands of entries so I never won one but finally late last November I decided to bite the bullet and buy one for myself.  I've had so many irons and so little luck with them.  I know an iron isn't going to last forever but I at least expect good service when something goes wrong.  After buying three different Rowentas and never even getting a reply when I e-mailed them I knew I wasn't going that route again.  I ordered the Reliable V200 and fell in love with it...the steam is amazing!  Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago it developed a problem with the steam so I e-mailed the company.  Within a few days I had a replacement iron!  And I'm talking about a very few days!  They asked me to mail my old one back so they could investigate the issue so that they could use whatever they find to improve their product, and they trusted me to mail it back....they didn't wait to receive it to send me a new iron.  That service alone will keep me buying Reliable products.  So go on over to Sew We Quilt and try to win one for yourself....I know you'll love it if you win.  And if you don't win, seriously considered saving your money to buy one.  It's worth it!

Don't forget the current blog hop....It's For The Birds.

It's For The Birds!

I can hardly wait for this blog hop ya'll - my mother loved birds so much that even as she reached her last days here on earth she was reminding us to "fill up the birdfeeders."  This would have been her favorite blog hop of all!
