Imagine .......






















Good morning Blogland Neighborhood! Imagine our delight when we came across this very cute "Imagine" doo dad at Walmart a couple of days ago....it, and other cute stuff are designed by an artist who is new to me ....Sandra Magsamen

...and ...Imagine the MBIAJ Sewing Dept's delight when ....





....some jelly rolls, charm packs, and a layer cake (all calorie - free) came in the mail !!! These were ordered from Real Women Quilt where they're having a heck of a sale !!! We LOVE these Moda precuts because : A) they're SO pretty ! B) we're lazy (less cutting !) C) they're SO fun! D) we're lazy E) they sound fattening but they aren't and ....F) we're LAZY !!!


....and...Imagine the MBIAJ's Baking Dept's delight when they were able to cut out more fat and calories from their favorite scone recipe when they read about substitutions on Spark People and were inspired by a new show on The Lifetime Channel called Cook Yourself Thin



......instead of using 1/2 cup margarine ..... 1/4 cup of natural applesauce + 1/4 cup lite margarine was substituted .....






......with delicious results !!!








...and ....Imagine the MBIAJ Dessert Eating Dept's delight when they stumbled upon....








....this combination of strawberries (those dark looking things in that lousy picture .... they really look much better in person....), Weight Watchers Double Chocolate Mousse candy AND Lite Cool Whip ..... which all combine to make ....










.....this YUMMY, good for you dessert ! (that's 3/4 cup plain strawberries with 1 Wt Watcher's Chocolate Mousse candy cut up on top and 2 Tbsp of Lite Cool Whip = 1 point in Weight Watcher Land !!!) (and trust us when we say this looks much better in person than it does in this lousy picture .... apparantly the MBIAJ Photography Dept hasn't had time to read the instruction book yet that came with the camera ...)


...and...Imagine the excitement around here when the MBIAJ Sewing Dept announced that they're closing in on the finish line (slower than molasses in January, but still closing in ) on ....




...this ....











Well, enough "Imagining" for one day .... too bad we can't "Imagine" dinner to appear on the table , or the toilets to clean themselves, or the dingy, stinky socks to jump into the washing machine all by themselves ...... (big sigh) ... so since none of that is gonna happen....we gotta zoom!

Be back soon!
Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)

Oh My Heavens, you must be entirely surprised right out of your MBIAJ skin. I must say every time I come here and I am all the better for it.

And if you get a minute come over and se my new little family member -- she needs a name!

Oh, yes -- those IMAGINE days -- I agree....imagine those dirty clothes getting into the washer all by themselves and those litter boxes becoming instantly scooped.....

Oh. Well. We can at least imagine those possibilities! *grin*

Your moda cuts are so gorgeous and your treats look especially yummy!
