okay, I was wrong about the stuff being at the MAC counter.  It is a product called Dermablend that can be found in stores like Dillards, Macy's and most any department store.  It is costly and I don't think it is worth it just to cover up one tattoo.  My makeup artist has said that she can do tattoo coverup, but I didn't ask what products she uses.  I will try to remember what she uses and take pictures. 

oh god, the wedding is in 12 days!

I, also, have quite a few tattoos that will be visible with the wedding dress on.  I am only going to cover the one on my back, since it is black work and would stand out.  I got a recommendation from the dress shop to hit the MAC counter in the mall, they apparently have something that works quite well. 
I will let you know what I go with, the wedding is in 4 weeks!!

Geeze...all of you guys sound like you are doing really well.  I am already lagging behind on my crafting.  I think I am going to have to quit my jobs and school to complete half of the things on my list.  I am going to try to get lots done over the next few weekends and see how it all works out. 

Glad to see everyone else working hard!!

I received my package!!  I would love to thank lemairia for my wonderful package. Since I don't have a camera, I will list what I recieved
Local cookbook
President Bush playing cards!!!
A snowglobe
A really great CD of a local band
A short movie!!!
A postcard
If there is anything I have forgotten to include, please forgive me.  I have already dispersed my items throughout the house.

 I love all the information you included about D.C. it is so informative.  I love the cookbook, my boyfriend is already marking recipes!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

CraftyKate-

  I have been looking at this pattern for some time now and I kept thinking to myself "how would this look in noro?", I am so glad I read your post, love the action shot!  Are you happy with how it turned out?  Does the color take away from the pattern?  Sorry for all the questions- I am just ready to make this scarf.  And I'm thinking about making it for my future MIL and SIL.

Thanks!

I am stressing already over my knitted xmas gifts.  I am working on the PoA Harry Potter scarf and it is taking me forever.  I haven't even made it to the second pattern repeat-even worse I have another one to make.  Plus someone just requested mittens.  I don't think my friends understand how much time it takes to knit something.  I know that I am not the only one here who has this problem.  Ugh. 

On a positive note, I just found out a friend of mine is a new knitter and I think I am just going to spin up a hank or two of yarn for her to create with.  Does this sound like a good gift??

  They don't have the most user friendly site in the world.  Most of their fibers are packaged in 8 oz bundles.  If you have any questions about weight, I highly recommend calling their 800 number.  The ladies there are a real pleasure to talk to!

I buy all my fiber supplies from a somewhat local business here in North Alabama

Little Barn rocks my socks!  I mostly enjoy going in and petting all of the wonderful fibers they have.

Oh My!  I only have a few things so far.  Must find more stuff!  I'm trekking to Nashville this weekend, so hopefully I will find something good while I'm there.

Man, I am so poor this year that everyone knows they are getting hand made gifts for the holidays.  I have a short list completed so far with many more people to craft for.  Plus- I have three friends who will be having babies around the end of December or beginning of January.  So much to make!

So far-
Diorama for Friend
Socks for grandma, boyfriend, friend
scarf/hat set for wife of friend(don't know why they think they can request gifts)and she wants chenille.  I HATE chenille yarn!!
sweater for the dog
don't know what to make mom and stepdad
**edit 
Gryffindor Scarf for Friend
I hope you guys can keep me motivated

oh- and I'm making all of my xmas cards this year
