In the past 6 years I've put on a "little" bit of padding that definitely left me larger than a 4. I love rub-ons (if you couldn't tell). They are so versatile and, IMO, a lot of fun to use.

Re: craft swap pictures LandOfOz #119080 Aug 27th, 2007 at 07:27 AM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered Not sure if I could fit in it now or not myself...I've put on a few pounds this month. Actually when I tried it on for her I was shocked I could fit into it....I was a lot skinnier back then. When I put it on before she said...OHHHHHH, you look like a princess. Then she wanted to see me in the 3 bridesmaids dresses I have hanging up with wedding dress. That was a fun day alright. Rub ons rock!

Wire, beads and a crochet hook, Jiffy. But working with the wire is tricky. Too thick, it won't crochet. Too thin, it breaks easily. It also tears your hands up until you develop calluses in the right places. I couldn't do it now because of arthritic hands. I never heard of a bead spinner back then. It would have helped tremendously. I will look up a site for you. I just found one with directions recently. ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

I mean I may not be able to take mine until Friday when Mark is off work---gonna try to see if he can go on his lunch break to take it but I don't know if he'll have time to do that.
