My grandmother was always very inventive and thrifty,when it came to Arts and Crafts. However,I don't recall her having anything unusual or creative,when it came to the BobbyPin! Sorry!
Hello Jane,how are you? I couldn't agree more,with Jeanne Miro's comment. I always thought,the exact same thing,about the Black Sheep. My ex-boyfriend told me,that he was the Black Sheep,in his family. Ironically,so was I!
Hi there! I definitely think that I could live in a small town. All of my life,I have been living,in one of the largest cities in the world. I was born in Toronto,Ontario,Canada and never left. I get so tired and fed up,with the whole rat race thing! That is why,I think,living in a small town,would be a welcome change. Thanks!!!
Hello Callie,how are you? My Hero would have to be my Grandmother! I will do my best,to explain in detail,and with as few words as possible. My Grandmother made many Sacrifices,throughout,her long life of 94 Years. She was always the Caregiver in the family. My Grandmother May,was from Belfast,County Down,which is in Northern Ireland. She was the Youngest of three Sisters,the Shortest and the Smallest,Worked the Hardest,Lived the Longest,the only one with Hazel Eyes(both of her two Sisters had Blue Eyes),and She was the Healhiest! My Grandmother came to Canada,in 1924! She met her Husband in Canada,(he was from Liverpool,England)and they were Married in 1927! My Grandmother had three Children,alltogether,but myMother,who came Last,was the only Survivor. My Mother,was very good to her Mother! Eventually,my Mother would,Give Birth to Two Children,both Girl's,Thirteen Month's apart! My Grandmother,would go on to Raise my Sister and I. Since,my Mother went to Work during the Day,we were left in the Care,of my Grandmother! She prepared all the Meals,washed the Dishes,Played Nursemaid,took wonderful Care of Us,during Sickness! Also,my Mother had it made,because,she was able to have a Life,outside of Work. She would go to the Theatre,the Opera,the Ballet and/or the Church,knowing that her Children,were being Well Cared For. My Grandmother's Duties,did not End There. We would go Home for Lunch and as always,would be given,a healthy,hot,nutritional Meal. We could always,Expect the Same,after School. This brief Synopsis,of why my Grandmother is my Hero,does not do,nowhere Near,the Justice,She Deserves! Finally,I would like to Share,for a Moment or Two,how and why,I too became the Caregiver! As time passed by,never leaving home,my Grandmother,began to show Signs,that she required Extra Care. As Nature,took it's Natural Course,I just began,doing little things,to Help and Assist,my Grandmother,in whatever Way,I c
Hello Grace,how are you? I happen to be of Irish/English descent,and I have always wondered about something! What would you say,the Scottish and Irish have in common? The reason I ask,is because,my grandmother who hailed from Belfast Northern Ireland,would alway's say,that the two were quite similar! Thank You,for this Contest!

Hi there,C F Yetmen.How are you? To answer your first question,the value of true art to me is "everything." I am someone who never throws anything away,unless,I absolutely have to. So,to answer your second question,I most certainly do believe,art is worth saving at all costs!

Congratulations,on your first novel,"THE ROSES UNDERNEATH."

Hi there,Dorah Levy. How are you? After reading the blurb about,the storyline,of your new book "Scent of Butterflies,"I knew I had to enter this contest! WOW !!! I just LOVE the title. On a more serious note,I can relate to,this woman in the book. As,I too,have had a very similar experience,in my life! I was about to get,the SURPRISE of my life! I was seeing,a very nice,refined and respectable,young man for about 3 years. All of a sudden,I happened to be passing by,my boyfriend's workplace,when a mutual aquaintance approached me. Boy,let me tell you,I was clearly unprepared,to digest the forthcoming information. He began telling me,all kinds of stories,and providing me,with a certain amount of knowledge,that I would have preferred,not to know. However,that very night,this person with a whole lot of information,about my boyfriend;could not wait,to confront him face to face. It was a total nightmare! I had just heard,confirmation,that the so-called rumour's were true. All of a sudden,my world seemed to be,collapsing,right before my eyes! The problem,was that,I was very much in love,with a married man! Everything and anything,went through my head. I started to think of possible options,and solutions,that would allow for us,to stay together. None of which,were to be,because,I had been going with,someone who was a HINDU,and trapped in a arranged marriage!
