Hi Dann-

Actually I collect clown, Emmett Jr. clowns. Only since

my dad passed away did the ladybugs start playing into a

collection of mine and they seem to collect me instead of

visa versa. I do have a couple of really nice ones. One

came as far as Johannesburg, Africa. The other came from

a local jewelry store, my son bought it for me. I guess now

I have a collection of 6 that I carry with me everywhere...whoa!

Um, thanks for mentioning the steel ladybug sculpture - it

sounds um, BIG.

Good to hear from you. Hoping all is well in your roping neck

of the woods :-))

Sandie,

The ladies a couple miles NOrth of me have a Lady Bug

Cottage. Collector kinds of Lady Bugs. Every where.

I had thoughts of making them a lady bug sculture out

of <scrap> steel.

But on our farm, no ceramic, or other than living lady

bugs here, and I am NOT telling anyone what my

favorite critter to collect is <grins> (note the

singular).

I read one of those Erma Bombeck kind of witty

newspaper columns once about being careful about

collecting. Frogs, Donkeys, Dalmations, or Lady Bugs,

.... what ever your temporary attraction can go

ballistic, and soon you have hundreds or thousands of

varients that dominate your home. You can't throw

them away, because each one of your friends will

remember which critter that they gave you, and with

critters beyond counting.. you can't remember who gave

what. Soon, there is NO WAY to stop the on slaught

of more. More. M O R E !

<grin - s> So if you want, I could finish my lady

bug iron sculpture....

Hi Sandie,

I have a very close friend from high school days and

she has always collected lady bugs of every sort. They

are all over her house. You find them in every nook

and crany. Wherever you look. She is my Lady Bug

friend. It is never hard to find her a gift. So when

you said you were getting Lady Bug tattoes in honor of

your mom and dad, it reminded me of her. That is a

wonderful way for you to honor your dad's birthday. I

think my friend had sent that gift to someone that you

saw with the Lady Bug on it. LOL

Lady Bugs forever!.............Jan
