I did, and my darling husband took some spiffy pictures of the goldfish bag. I ended up being too impatient to sort through my craft supplies for beads so dug out the embroidery thread to do the eyes.

Sometimes I think fellow bloggers want to see how badly I want to comment and this is why they continue to use blogspot even after their blog has grown bloated with images and content.
