I've noticed recently that some people like the crafty superstars have got a really cool top bit when they add a new project. Is this something in the pipeline too? Btw I like the new user bar thing too

That looks really beautiful. I'm not sure if its the same as an infinity dress but it looks amazing and its very similar in that it can be worn millions of different ways.
All done \o/ Just about to address the jiffy bag and will send out next week
I'm almost done, just two more tinies and then its ready to send out. I'm just having some inspirational pizza and hopefully will get finished this weekend
Nice earrings Creative & Sugar I can't wait till mine arrive. Posted mine to Tara last Wednesday so I'm guessing it takes about 2 weeks to reach US, hopefully quicker but I'm not sure.
I signed up with diet.com which I've found pretty good. That does the whole working out what calories you've had and you can work out how many you've burnt through the day too. It also has loads of recipes and stuff. I'm still struggling with it though - I need to loose a couple of stone but at the moment I'm sticking with small goals so I don't loose motivation.
One of the clients I used to work with used to get really wiffy BO and I think hers may have been hormonal. She's used to get horendous periods too and was overweight and felt pretty crappy about her body. I found that this is an occasion where you do have to be quite straight talking. As you said, kids can be cruel and its better she hears it in private from her sister who cares than get called names as high school. I used to tell my client that it was a problem but that it was the best kind of problem because its really easy to fix. Also check that she is changing sanitary towels/tampons regularly if her periods have started and that she is changes her underwear daily and putting her t-shirts in the wash. I found that the problem needed a double pronged approach - clean clothes, washing properly and daily and deodarant plus lots of positive comments when she gets it right. Even if she is still a little wiffy praise her on the improvements she has made.
My one for Savalou is still sitting on a shelf at home as I don't have her address. She messaged me a while back to say that she needed to put things on hold as she's a bit swamped with stuff at home. I'm not sure the current situation now and the message I got was over a month ago.
Here are all my tinies from Kiddo I love them all, especially the tiny plushies.

I've not been good the last couple of weeks so have hit a bit crafters block. I finished up the Earrings swap though tonight so hopefully that should get me going again and I've already made about 4 things so hopefully I should be done within the next couple of weeks.
Yay Kiddo I got yours today \o/ Like a twit though I forgot to put it in my bag so its still in my in tray at work! Doh. I've made 4 things and have ideas for the others so I should be ready to send out next week. I've been a bit poo in terms of mood lately and its kind of zapped my creativity I'm gradually getting there though.
I've finished all mine tonight so I should be able to send out Monday or Tuesday. Also I heard from Tara and she's done too and sending out next week
Sorry Martha I forgot to say that I'd heard from her. I think she was just a bit snowed under but was on the case.

I have an aunt like that and I know how difficult things can be. I think what Maria does is probably the best way round things. Just be polite and keep your distance where ever possible. Thankfully my aunt showed her true colours a few years back and its been easier to keep clear off her since but it can be really tricky when people like this are part of your family. There is extra baggage involved which makes it much harder to keep them at a distance.
