Great mysteries with a message, The Sugar Creek Gang series chronicles the faith-building adventures of a group of fun-loving, courageous Christian boys. Your kids will be thrilled, chilled, and inspired to grow as they follow the legendary escapades of Bill Collins, Dragonfly, and the rest of the gang and see how they struggle with the application of their Christian faith to the adventure of life."<BR/><BR/>Kitty, I found a small picture of a yo-yo potholder in an old Martha Stewart issue. I'll have to google for instructions on sewing them together. First I had better get busy sewing up some more. :0)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959889019639336499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-26886603216725100782007-05-08T22:42:00.000-05:002007-05-08T22:42:00.000-05:00Kelli, I want to be just like you when I grow up L...Kelli, I want to be just like you when I grow up LOL<BR/><BR/>Seriously, you always have the best crafts going on, I LOVE those yo-yos and Heather Bailey is one of my favorite bloggers to visit :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great day,<BR/>SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448386993712122412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-34382383856966397552007-05-08T22:25:00.000-05:002007-05-08T22:25:00.000-05:00I have a little seat outside where I read while I ...I have a little seat outside where I read while I watch my kids play, too!!
