Don't know if you have a Blinds To Go store near you but there are these fabric blinds now although I'm betting they're expensive. ::sigh::<BR/><BR/>Check on the craft supplies without use although, the last few years I have been making glass ornaments by squirting two different paints into glass balls and then shaking the paint to get a 'fancy' effect. I also made teeny tiny boxes for ear-rings and stuff. I think they are cute but that's about as crafty as I get.<BR/><BR/>Megan!! You've never read Evanovich!? Ow. No, I'm alright, ow. The first book was good, the second was better, the 3, 4th and 5 were the bestest eva! Ribs were cracked! Comedy is different though and it's slapstick which I normally don't get so I was shocked at how well this series worked for me. I burst out laughing on the second page. Next time you are at the bookstore just pick up One for the Money to glance at and if the you aren't busting a gut by the third page, don't buy it.<BR/><BR/>CindyS (hi-jacking yet another forum - sorry Renee - you'd think I would blabber on at my own blog - oh, that's right, I do!)CindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1130781880339736202005-10-31T10:04:00.000-08:002005-10-31T10:04:00.000-08:00I read the Holly Lisle and liked it, but was not s...I read the Holly Lisle and liked it, but was not surprised by the identity of the killer, which bummed me out because normally I am clueless about such things. I liked Sandra Schwab's book more than you, although it was so over the top.

I liked the previous one, <A HREF="http://reneereads.blogspot.com/2005/08/ten-big-ones-by-janet-evanovich.html" REL="nofollow">Ten Big Ones</A>, and blogged about it. I agree that if it makes me laugh it is worth it. Maybe this one wasn't as funny as the rest so I started nitpicking about other stuff. Who am I kidding, I know I'll read the next one looking for more laughs. <BR/><BR/>On a previous redecorating binge I went through the same routine on my kitchen, family room, and den and replaced the alum. blinds with wood blinds and really love them. But they are heavy raising and lowering them. And since the windows in the bedrooms are even larger, I thought they would be too heavy. But now that you mention it I realized why I didn't want alum. blinds in the bedrooms in the first place. When it gets breezy and the windows are open, they start banging around because they are so light, making a horrible racket when I'm trying to sleep. Hmmm, I think I'll check out the prices. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>It's so nice to find another great procrastinator. I've resisted efforts by my friends for years to start scrapbooking for exactly that reason. I have a sewing/craft room full of crap and unfinished projects already.ReneeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184560393907186300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14697624.post-1130747870710614932005-10-31T00:37:00.000-08:002005-10-31T00:37:00.000-08:00The Evanovich.

I actually have enjoyed most of her books and hey, if it makes me laugh then the book was worth it. My personal faves were books 4, 5 and 6. Maybe I'll re-read them.<BR/><BR/>The Holly Lisle was the only one that sounded interesting to me but I am over suspense romance in a big way!<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm beginning to think you are me, blogging under a different name ;)<BR/><BR/>The whole great book blues, check.<BR/>Procrastination, double check. (I have been buying scrapbooking supplies for 2 years - I have yet to scrapbook)<BR/><BR/>Have you considered wooden horizontal blinds? That might be different enough that you don't have to look at the metal blinds. I feel your pain. We have white (aged to a muted grey) minis on our dining room window which is huge. The one time I mentioned taking them down my husband told me they cost him a fortune (prev. wife ;)). I haven't had the heart to tear them down or maybe I'm just procrastinating ;)<BR/><BR/>CindySCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.com
