Look what I made!

[LaraMN]

The color's a bit off in the picture, but you get the idea:

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Neat.

:)

[LaraMN]

4. Thanks!

I think the mailman was checking it out.

[Lavender Brown]

2. That's beautiful.

Nice work! :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

5. Thank you.

I put my glue gun to alot of use.

[jpgray]

3. I'm 98% impressed

[LaraMN]

6. and the other 2%?

It's because I didn't use live doves, right? That's because they'd crap on the grapes.

[jpgray]

7. jpgray is 98% appreciation and 2% inebriation

[LaraMN]

9. 2% inebriation?

You're not supposed to swallow the mouthwash, honey.

[jpgray]

12. Then why is it delicious?

Now if the prosecution will rest, the defense will pass out. :P

[LaraMN]

14. I will concede- I swallowed some cinnamon stuff yesterday.

I started gagging for no apparent reason, and my kids laughed at me, the wee little devils.

[jpgray]

22. That's only proper. You can craft both term papers -and- wreaths

I think you have a right to be conceded.

:hide:

[LaraMN]

27. You drank the whole bottle, didn't you?

You're going to get fluoride poisoning.

[jpgray]

28. I get homophonic when I'm drunk.

It's not something I'm proud of.

[LaraMN]

32. Just keep your hands and ears to yourself, and you'll be ok.

Everyone lives with some secret, personal shame.

[jpgray]

35. No problem--ears to me

[LaraMN]

36. You do realize it's Wednesday, right?

Shouldn't you have some jello shots with that?

[jpgray]

38. Right

But I have schoolwork to do. And you've left some tall, shiny, dominatrix-ish boots to fill in that area.

[LaraMN]

39. Like these ones:

:rofl:

[jpgray]

42. I'll take those.

They'll come in handy until you find a proper boots image. Just don't keep me wading long.

[LaraMN]

43. I could make reference to *fly* fishing, couldn't I?

But that would be too easy. O8)

[jpgray]

45. That's good!

But my old roommates would tell you that nothing can ever be too easy.

[LaraMN]

47. They sipped the Listerine too, eh?

That stuff really shouldn't be sold otc. Maybe some repuke can draft legislation to make it harder to purchase. We need to be protected from the evils of mouthwash.

[jpgray]

48. Well, it's likely a burning sensation was experienced after use

But it's time for me to crawl back out of my Scope bottle and into bed. When you start your internet business empire, consider using olive branches for one of the peace wreaths. :D

[LaraMN]

49. I'm off to bed myself, and good idea...

:hi:

[libnnc]

8. I love that!

How did you make it? I'd like to make one for my door.

[LaraMN]

11. I just used a grapevine wreath,

wound some twiggy-stuff around it to make the peace symbol center, added fake grapes, plastic doves, ribbon, etc, and hot glued everything on. It was under five bucks to make, I think, and all the components are available at any craft store.

[libnnc]

16. cool beans.

I'll go to the craft store this weekend

[Floogeldy]

10. Heh

That's beautimous. :)

[LaraMN]

13. Thanks!

It's supposed to be spifftacular, but close enough.

[Floogeldy]

15. I'm certainly not saying that it is not spifftacular.

In fact, it is! :)

[LaraMN]

17. Oh, good. I'm glad to have clarified that.

;)

[Floogeldy]

25. I'm glad, too.

Because 69% of the problems in this world are due to communicaton problems. :)

[LaraMN]

29. *snort!*

I will never udnerstand people's careless abuse of the Engelish langage.

[liberaltrucker]

18. Very cool!!!!

Talented, aren't we?:toast:

[LaraMN]

19. Not really! It was very easy.

I'm not exactly a crafting-phenom, but I try.:)

[liberaltrucker]

20. Looks good, though.

Did you see the pic of KW and me?

[LaraMN]

21. No! I missed that!

Point me to it!

[liberaltrucker]

23. Here ya go

Mini Minnesota Meet-Up-w/pic
Already archived, though:(

[LaraMN]

26. Oh awesome!

I'm very jealous! I've yet to meet any DUers, yet. One day, when I have transportation with heat, and without *scary noises*, I will make it to a Twin Cities meetup. Until then, I live vicariously through others' pics! :thumbsup:

[liberaltrucker]

31. This was very impromptu

I was going from Eau Claire, WI to Omaha. Only had a couple hours. Was neat, though:woohoo:

[LaraMN]

33. Well it's neat that you two could connect.

and I love the sticker on your truck! :bounce:

[haydukelives]

24. Nice

I want one

[Maddy McCall]

30. Lara, what a fabulously creative idea!

I'm going to copycat you! I have a grapevine wreath on my front porch--it's naked, and I was thinking the other day that it's time to jazz it up for spring. I think I'm going to copy your design and use sunflowers instead.

:hi:

You know, you might have a million-dollar marketable idea there! :D

[LaraMN]

34. I could use a million dollars, right about now.

hmmmmm....

[Maddy McCall]

37. Seriously, open an internet store.

I'd order one from you. :D

I bet a bunch of DUers would! :bounce:

[LaraMN]

40. I have no clue how one goes about doing that....

is it difficult? Does it require a business license?

[Maddy McCall]

41. I really don't know...I bet some DUers who do internet sales could...

advise you.

You don't have to have a business license. I would think that all you'd need to do is post a photo on a website, and then have a paypal account for credit card purchases. Would probably be easy to do.

Why not think about it, and start a thread in the lounge asking DUers for advice on a small internet home business?

[LaraMN]

44. That's a good idea, I think I will mull it over.

My husband knows a bit about that kind of stuff- I think I'll ask him about it, too. Thanks, Maddy!:pals:

[Shine]

46. How Martha Stewart of you!

;)
I like the peace vibe...very creative, too.

:thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

50. I am SO Martha!

Not really, but my Mom wishes I were!
