[Sca-cooks] Re: activities was Dieting is off topic

[Olwen the Odd]

Good idea Johnnae.
I'm not doing too much as my thumb/hand is still splinted but 
never-the-less, folks in the studio are caught up in my latest hair-brained 
scheme for A&S at Atlantian 12th night.  The competition theme for both 
static and edible is the same:  heraldic beasts.
Well, I had an idea in my head so began printing out pictures of heraldic 
beasts.  Then the screaming in my head got louder and louder wondering how 
on earth I could possibly choose one!  No problemo.  I am Olwen the crazy 
one!  Shhhhhhhhhhhhh................!!!!!!!!!!  Don't tell anyone, but we 
have decided not to make a decision and just make a sampler instead.  
hehehehehe.......
Olwen & company
