They've got names and pictures on them. I'm kinda worried one will end up on boners.com or something :rolleyes: I'll ask that no one copy the pics. Yeah, I'm a bit paranoid about it.

If I do so I'll let you know.
Do you or GD have Photoshop or some other photo-editing program? Just go in and blur out the sensitive information before posting the pictures.

If it were the one and only thing she's made, I'd agree. But her mom's made lots and lots of things, much of which is far less attrocious than these couple of items. Those we are happy to keep. But these...

I have a beautiful photo album my Mom put together that I'd show anyone. I have a crocheted blanket she made for my doll when I was 4 years old. There are other things as well. My mom used to make beautiful, witty birthday cards as well.

I have lots of wonderful things that she made with her own hands, and those I'll cherish forever. :)

Fair enough. :)

Gather up all the things you don't like and head for the beach. Start a bonfire and then throw each item in the fire one at a time shouting out some awful thing about your mother as you do so.

It'll be really cathartic.

Or, you'll convince yourself that you hate your mother and then throw away even the stuff you do like and that'll save you a lot of room and free up the holidays for personal travel. Win win.

Forget that - post the links to Ebay, let's find out the fair market value of these items.

Ok, head for the Parking LoT.

Heehee, visible mojo for Alex.

I think posting this on the message board is cathartic.
