    OMG, that graphic demo is so cool! I love it!

    I went to NYC for my 40th birthday last year, and dragged my husband to MJ Trimming. It is such a HUGE store with walls and walls and walls of trims. It was wonderful! Can’t wait to go again this year for my 41st bday.

    I was so overwhelmed by the selection at MJ that I didn’t buy anything at all!

    Ok, I’ve already watched that animation two different times for at least a minute each time – *cool.* I get it. And I kind of want to speed it up and then slow it down again, so I will *really* get it and be able to hold it in my brain. Thanks for a blog that tickles my fancy and makes me smile.

    LOVED the animation. Now my girls understand. I’ve tried to explain but now we’ve got it.
