little things make me smile

and these days I need to smile. we are going to be foreclosed on... I made an error in our payment in June as soon as they called me about it I sent the amount in error asked about late fees was told there were none....odd.  then for the next 2 months Citimortgage decides to take late fees from our payments first so that there is not enough  for a payment they put the remainder in an un-applied account and in September they tell us we owe over 6000 dollars, when I called the lady said no that isn't  correct , disregard that notice. after much BAD between me and my hubby, we have involved several people, all attorneys say what they are doing is illegal, but they want money from us to make it stop. we got a political person  involved his secretary was nice but he never did call us Dicks. (as in Norm Dicks)  so by Oct payment husband says one more try, we call and get a number to bring the account current, it is 300 dollars more than our payment so we think payment plus late fees, we send it. 5 days later we get another foreclosure notice. we owe 3000+ ? WTF?  Johnnie calls thinking they haven't posted the moneys he just sent. no they took that money for charges, not late charges, but just charges, we still owe for October according to them. we have now gone into default for not paying, we are putting the payment in one of our own Un-applied accounts till they get us out we are saving  and then we will live at the shop in the little camper till we can buy something cash & be done with citimortgage forever.
blablablablablablablablabla
so ....
fun little magnets or clothes pins to hold a recipe card. I made a bunch of them and as my brain goes about things randomly these days, I was just trying different patterns off the sheet Heather gave me and, golly they were coming out cute !
the next morning I started seeing that they look like my girlfriends ! 
 I do not know where I would be without any one of these angels in my life, thank you one and all, and forgive my brain if I have forgotten someone.
