A friend of mine just pointed me to this video and it was so fabulous I just have to pass it on. I have great wads of California King sized fitted sheets clogging up my linen closet, so this is a gift for me. Enjoy!
How to fold a fitted sheet on YouTube (which I’m pointing you to because I can’t figure out how to embed a video here).
Over on one of my yahoogroups populated by plain folks who use the Internet, there’s a big discussion on the commercialism of Christmas. One I kinda have to agree with, especially when I drive past the mall and the traffic to get in is so congested you can only imagine what the stores are like….
