If I have "thought" a project through to completion, then I can't understand why it is "not" completed. Then I realize, that thinking about it, is not the same as doing it.<BR/>I am old fashioned enough to still believe the maxim: Use it up, wear it out, Make it do, or do without.<BR/>Absolutely ingenious use of the leftover material and wrapping paper.
