plumb barbara

She's piece of work isn't she? Building 14 had a Christmas party today that included a Yankee Trader gift exchange. Old Barbara is a working plumb-bob. And was a highly sought after gift. It was through stealth and good game playing skills that she became mine. The other highly sought after gift was a teddy bear cookie jar, purchased at a thrift store by one of my workmates. Now Steve paid $4.85, which was under the $5 limit, but in fact you can find these on Ebay going for considerably more money. So John and I having numbers late in the game realized that we could get the cookie jar for the shop and I could could end up with Barbara. Dixie, who put Barbara out there for us, was quite happy that she was going home to a woman. And I may have to start baking more cookies to keep the jar filled. Although I am not the only baker in the shop, and the jar could be a good incentive.
