Missing Template!

I've made Twister projects in the past, and I own three sizes of Twister rulers. Last Christmas, I was about to make twister wreaths and I lost the darn template in my house! Found it about two months later, way too late for Christmas giving! I've made several twister projects since then, with the twister and the little twister. I intended to use the Itty Bitty (or whatever it is called), so I have that one also.

So, today, when looking for the one for the 5" charms, it is LOST IN THIS HOUSE! How can this be, I keep a very neat organized home! Watch out, lightning is about to strike me! Could not find it anywhere. I found the other two, but not the size I want.

So, what's a girl to do? Continue to look, or......go shopping of course. Now I have two, one that I am going to use tonight and another one lost in the chaos!

Ever happen to you?

This has happened on many occasions, causing me to repurchase. Of course I find what's missing. The cause is leaving the room that the object belongs in with said object in hand. Having identified the problem, I plan on correcting my habits. I'll let you know how that turns out. :)

Ever happen to me.....we'll heavens noooo....:icon_rofl:

I just must want 2 of everything, since it happens to me very often. I will look and look, finally give in and go buy another one. As soon as it is out of it's packaging, the one that was hiding pops out!

Genny, are your pants on fire? :)

Jean, you will find it right before going to bed tonight! :P

Guarantee....you'll find it only after you purchase another AND are looking frantically for something else. Story of my life. My theory is that things get pulled into this black hole that throws things back up randomly when you are NOT looking......

A place for everything and everything in it's place is actually how I live my life. Can't live with disorganization and chaos. So, when I can't find something I KNOW I have, it is a catastrophe indeed. If it's urgent, I have to replace the "missing in action" item. The second I get it home, the aforementioned offender has mysteriously deposited itself in a very conspicuous location!!! I can then return the duplicate. DRIVES ME NUTS!!!

This happens to us all. I think you should gift one to a friend. Don't you agree, friend? :icon_wave:

Oh yes... This happens to me now and then...OK.... It happens frequently... I'm not the most organized person in the world... Things just disappear around here. For instance, my fifteen dollar can of basting sorry is missing... I used a coupon to get it, but still.... I don't want to have to buy another one.... It seems that I am always looking for something... It drives me crazy.....

So... Good luck... I hope your template shows up soon. You know it will... Where else can it be but in your house?

Jean, more times than I'd like to admit :)

You used it to make your jack-o-lantern. Look in your fall fabrics.

If you used it for the Jack o lantern, maybe it's in your M* stuff from the retreat? Did you bring it to show us or demo that table topper?

Gladvto know I am in good company. At the moment my tomato pin cushion, which I have had since 7th grade home-ec is MIA. Since it is an official antique I hope it shows up soon, no telling what it's worth...lol

Yes!!! I lost my 20" square for a good six months.....just when I had given up hope, I found it - right where my husband put it!!!

Only once a day, every day, all day long.

isn't that a song????:icon_razz:

Yes. I did. That was the last time I saw it.

Karen, that stuff is put away in some forgotten organization plan. I found the two I don't need and thought this one was with them. But NO! It's not!

Oh my! Maybe someone who went by and thought they were shopping picked it up!!

Well...maybe a little...:lol:

Happens to me all the time, too. And I am pretty sure we also have a black hole following us where ever we go or move. It has swallowed dental braces and lots of glasses in the past, and important paper notes. Since I don´t have many templates so far, they seem to be safe for now.

oh never me LMAO the most disorganized soul on the planet!! I lost my braid ruler and my square up in the trailer during the retreat. omg how I looked for it!!! Then pulling address and stuff for my secret santa, this folder drops both rulers OUT!!! Now WHO put those two rulers in a manila folder???? Course I had to get a second square up, maybe that is the answer? The tool Gods don't spit it back out until you have two??

:lol:

So when I came down from fmqing earlier and commented, I went back up to continue. Well.......I searched for my gloves for 20 minutes before I found them! One was in my left pocket and one was in my right!!
