A few weeks ago, I was trying very hard to shirk responsibility all over my house. I even went so far as to flop on the couch and watch multiple episodes of Real Housewives on Bravo but I can only handle so much boobage being shoved in my face before I feel compelled to flatten them all in one ginormous mammography machine. So I decided to hop online and surf Etsy instead because it was a lot more fun than cooking dinner.
There I was, browsing various Etsy shops, minding my own business and wondering why so many Etsians feel compelled to crochet vaginas when I accidentally tripped and fell into a pit of sheer cuteness named Tiddlywinks..
Hello, little one. Could you possibly be any more adorable?
I don’t think so.
This little one was named Holly and she used to live at the Tiddlywinks Etsy Shop, until someone scooped her up. And that someone was not me because I am always the last to know anything. I am never in the damn loop. Usually I need a passport and a high powered GPS to get anywhere near the stupid loop.
Except today! Because I’m betting a lot of you never heard about Tiddlywinks before this second! Am I right?
Hah! So go ahead and keep your stinky loop. I’ve got my own..
This is Frost. She’s soft and cuddly and, because of the snowflake bling, perfect for little humans who no longer feel compelled to grab everything in sight and shove it into their mouth.
Or she’d be perfect for me because I don’t shove anything in my mouth unless it’s smothered with partially hydrogenated oil and saturated fat. I’m pretty sure Frost wasn’t made with that stuff. I’d like to perch her on top of my monitor and stare at her all day. She makes me smile.
Tiddlywinks is a labor of love for its owner, creator and textile artist, Scottie, who takes ordinary fabric and makes it into something extraordinary.
Are you wondering if Scottie is a man or woman? I know I did.
I’ll just keep you in suspense, I think.
So anyway, as I was saying …
SCOTTIE’S A WOMAN! SCOTTIE’S A WOMAN!
Damn! It’s like burping. I just can’t help myself. Lucky for you, I think suspense is highly overrated anyway..
This is Allegro. Hi Allegro!You are music to my eyes, sweetie.
Scottie makes beautiful music with a needle and thread, doesn’t she?
Know what I do with needle and thread?
That would be a big, fat NOTHING. Ever since I made a lopsided, backwards, inside-out apron in home-ec class back when I was in eighth grade which was approximately fifty billion years ago, I try to avoid needles and thread. It’s part of my PTSD therapy.
I am, however, a big fan of duct tape. Does everything thread does, only quicker. And it’s perfect for hemming pants!
That scream of anguish you just heard was my mother..
Just look at these details. And guess what?
THESE ARE WASHABLE!
Did you hear me? I tried to type that as loud as I could. Washable! As in, water and soap and honest to God spin cycles.
This means that you will no longer have to resort to impromptu Lysol spritzing and impractical spot cleaning, only to sniff the air in an hour like a bloodhound and yell HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, WHAT THE HELL DIED?
Like I do with Helena and her funky smelling Bear.
I do hope you realize I meant spot cleaning Bear. Because I do more than just spot clean Helena and spritz her with Febreze. I hose her down at least once a month. What kind of mother do you think I am?.
This was Bacon. Like so many stuffies at Tiddlywinks, she was gone almost as fast as she came.
That’s what she said.
Hah! The Office, anyone?
Nevermind.
Scottie has three kids and they draw all sorts of quirky pictures and based on those pictures, Scottie creates these beautiful little creatures. It’s a family affair! Kind of like my blog, except that Scottie doesn’t constantly badger her family with pleas of FOR GOD’S SAKE, DO SOMETHING INTERESTING so that she can use it for blog fodder. Her family actually cooperates.
After two days of browsing Scottie’s store, I admitted to myself that I had become a stalker. I mean, can you blame me? How fun are these? For kids and adults? But at least I’m not one of those trashy stalkers who send their idols their dirty undies or who flash parts of their anatomy at them from across the street. Scottie, don’t you worry. You’ll be getting no skivvies from me, courtesy of the USPS. And I keep my anatomy to myself because I’m a classy, sophisticated stalker who keeps her distance and admires from afar. Just ask my man Anderson. Oh, and when you do, can you tell him to call me? I don’t think he’s getting my messages. Thank you..
I have no idea what your name is, but I could just squeeze the dickens out of you. Tell Scottie to stuff you with more of them, just in case..
Hello Annie. Well, Hello Annie. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong.
Too bad you’re name wasn’t Dolly and that you never left in the first place. Then this would make so much more sense..
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I’m sorry, I can’t help it. I was overwhelmed by the cuteness of Hettie here.
Hettie was a custom ordered mini bear. I believe she was six or eight inches but she was in and out too fast for me to be sure. Maybe her name should be Tiger Woods.
By the way … Scottie takes custom orders.
Now, isn’t that totally worth a squee?
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!.
This is a Tiddlywinks playset. I want to reach right through my monitor and dress her in those little skirts!
Sigh.
How many different ways can I say cute? Let’s see ….
Adorable!
Delightful!
Stinkin’ charming!
You know what? I think I’m just going to shut up for a minute and just let you suck on some eye candy for awhile. I know! Can you believe it? I’m actually going to voluntarily stop talking. Typing. Whatever. But don’t tell Nate. He’s under the impression he needs an act of Congress for something like this to happen.
I have no idea where he got that idea from.
Whew!
Was it as good for you as it was for me?
What’s that you say? For crying out loud, how about I give it up already?
Who are you? Nate?
Two winners will win a doll of their choice, up to a value of $35! That’s TWO winners, people. TWO. Which is one more than one. Who said I suck at math? Actually, I think I did.
Want something more than $35 from Tiddlywinks? Choose whatever you want and simply apply the $35 and pay the balance! Perfect for people who have trouble setting limits. Like me. I never met a limit I didn’t think I could smash into smithereens in two seconds or less.
Tiddlywinks dolls are soft and squishy and squeezable and huggable! Just like me! Except for the squeezable and huggable part. Well, maybe. You’ll need to ply me with some drinks first. They’re perfect for you or your little one – just read Scottie’s descriptions carefully if you have a youngster who likes to play puppy and chew on everything. Or even if you do. In which case, ewwww.
Now, be aware … Tiddlywinks dolls go fast, especially at Christmas. I should know. No sooner would I fall in love with a doll when *bam* it would be moved to the “sold” section of Tiddlywinks. It was almost as if I had super powers or something and I started to get all excited and then I tried to make the TV remote fly out of Nate’s vice grip by staring at it hard but then he asked me why my face was all scrunched up and was I constipated or something? And I yelled I HAVE POWER THAT YOU CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE and he told me to shhhhhhhhhh because it was 4th and ten on the thirty within field goal range and why didn’t I just take some Metamucil and go to bed or something?

.
.Bring on the sand paper, baby! It’s time for some nitty gritty:
- To enter, leave a comment in this post and tell me the class you hated most in school. For me, it’s a three way tie between home-ec, shop and gym. I was all about English class. It was fun to write about unwittingly poisoning myself with botulism or accidentally cutting my fingers off with a jigsaw or falling to my death while climbing a rope. So much more enjoyable than actually doing any of those things in real life. And less messy too.
- Anyone 18 or older can enter. By the way, if you’re in your twenties, enjoy it. Gravity is a vindictive bitch.
- Winners must confirm their win within 48 hours of notification or I’ll have to choose alternates. Please don’t let that happen. It’s sad and disconcerting and makes me eat lots of stuff I shouldn’t and then the rest of my family starves.
- Winners must redeem their prize within thirty days of notification.
- No entries after 9:00 pm eastern time on Sunday, December 13, because if the planets align, that’s when I will be celebrating the completion of our refinished stairs. I fully intend to run up and down them until I pass out from sheer exhaustion or thirty seconds go by, whichever comes first.
- I will use Random.org to choose the winners. Because random rules.
- One entry per person, please! Please. Your comment might go into moderation but it will show up, unless you’ve stuffed it full of porn or called me mean names in which case, The Big Guy is going to put you on his naughty list. And I’m not talking about the chubby guy in the red suit.
- I’ll announce the winners on Monday!
.That’s it!
This is Scottie. Talented and beautiful. It’s like looking at my reflection in a mirror! If we lived in Opposite Land.
Good luck, everyone!

Seriously…. the cutest things I’ve ever seen!! I need one for my little girl. Ok, really for myself, but at least I can pretend it’s for her.
My most loathed class was anything history related. I’m no good at remembering dates, timelines, important figures, etc. Ugh. Give me math any day!
I totally could have done away with PE, myself. I suck at sports- and I didn’t care about the “exercise” that they were trying to get us. Love the softies- they are adorable!
Okay, those are seriously adorable. Now why can’t I learn to sew? My least favorite class in school had to be Geography…not much to do with the topic, but the teacher was a drag and made the whole thing a snooze. Love your site. Now pick me! LOL
Beth
I would have to go with Geometry.
Ugh.
Thanks for the chance to win.
It was definitely Gym Class and History with the most boring Teacher (Which was my elementary ART teacher) in the world! However, I loved history with the Hot teacher!!

Omg, those are simply adorable!!!
Most hated class BY FAR: GERMAN, with Frau Fritsch. She was the mayor of a little town further up the mountain, and she owned a bunch of horses and must have ridden them a lot because she would come to class in her jodhpurs and SLAM her quirt down on the desk when you got a wrong answer. Plus, she tied this one kid’s hands behind her back because she was sucking her thumb at the ripe old age of 10.
I hated history class in school. I was never any good at it, and it bored me to death listening about dead people. Now that I am a *little* older, I find history very interesting and I wished I would have paid more attention back then. Funny how things work.
These are so cute. It would go to my 2 year daughter. I can picture one of these being toted around all day with her!!
I hated biology most! I loved chemistry, but for whatever reason, biology is something I loathed. These are some of the cutest things I have ever seen! I hope I win!!!
Wow! Those Tiddlywinks are super cute!
My worst class in HS was definitely Home-EC, specifically the sewing part. We had to do a semester of cooking and then a semester of sewing, and back in the day it was a required class for girls! I aced the cooking part and loved it, but then came the sewing. I like you have an extreme aversion to needles and thread. I was a tomboy, and we had to make, a purse and a jumper, two things that weren’t really exciting to me in the first place. I think I took about 3 months to make the purse, then I had to start the dress. It was obvious that I wasn’t going to finish so I stayed for 3 weeks until 5pm and had my dad come to pick me up at school. After all of that extra effort, what spectacular grade did I receive? D- !
My most hated was gym. Our gym teacher was all about the best players, and no one else. Was it my fault that I am a natural klutz, and that exerting real effort might break a nail? Also hated math class…I mean, do you *really* use that stuff?
Math, it has to be math
I hated arithmetic, then when I got older I hated math
It often depended on the teacher, but I think Canadian history was the driest
I hated sewing, cause I was BAD at it
Least favorite class in school…hands down Science! I was always bored to tears bc essentially it was all memorization. Which begged the question, what am I learning?!
History. And English. It’s a tie.
The class I hated was Science. any of them. I had the same spot three years in a row in high school (maybe THAT was my downfall?). I took physical science, biology, and chemistry (not because i wanted to but it was a requirement). So i think this is why I excelled in art.
I would love to win! i definitely sucked in the cuteness of them all! The green puppy tugged on my heart strings!!
Happy Holidays!!!
My least favorite class was a toss up between gym and any math class that I was forced to take.
One of my requirements of the “perfect man” was that he had to be able to do math. That way if we had children, hopefully the kid would get their fathers math smarts and not mine. My fiance is a math whiz….now here’s hoping our son takes after his Daddy. LOL
Seriously? You want to know what class I hated most? Probably science. Pain in the rear, smelly teacher that I don’t miss. Not one iota.
And for getting that off my chest I might win one of those precious dolls? Mercy, invite me back.
washable! i hated gym class.
Geography blows! I managed to remember where the names of the places went in relation to the lines on the page (a.k.a. map)… but it was like “the word China goes next to the squiggly line with dent on the left side”
The class I hated the most was junior year history. I absolutely love history but the class was taught by a coach and was full of jocks and cheerleaders (or cheerios as they say on Glee). Anyway Monday & Tuesday would be discussions about the previous week’s game, the later part of the week would be about the upcoming game. I would sleep through class. When we had tests, I would make an A (I read the chapter for goodness sake!) and the rest of the class would fail (obviously didn’t read). The coach just knew I cheated – he used to stand over my desk watching me during tests.
Thanks for exposing us to the Tiddlywinks – huge on the aaaawwwwww meter!
The class i hated most was geometry! I’m still not sure what I learned in it…if anything. I wasn’t found of any math classes…but geometry was definately the worst!
And Hettie….that’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!
These are so super cute – and why is she so bloomin pretty????? And talented???? with a nice family that cooperate with her?????
Anyways – I hated PE – thats physical education – thats, oh I dont know what! Running up and down, doing cross country, netball, hockey, rounders, athletics etc etc…yukkk. Mind you, I used to have back trouble (child arthritis) and used to say I couldnt do p.e. – when the pe teacher got sick of me saying it she said I had to bring a letter in from my mum to say I couldnt do it! So I brought in some tablets I had for my acne (Oh YES!) and she believed me that I couldnt do pe!!!!! PE teachers are not always so smart! I think she just gave up in the end and got me to just copy out of books with rules in them – she thought that was some sort of a punishment!
LOLX
THOSE ARE SO CUTE! I would LOVE to give one of those to my BFF”s son!
My least favorite class in school was (ans still is) history. Borrrr-ring!
I hated home ec and gym. I can’t sew – and why would I want to? I have no athletic ability either. Basically, I hated what I was no good at.
By the way – Tiddlywinks are stinkin’ adorable!!!
I hope I win!
They are all so cute!
My least favorite class in school was always math.
Thanks for the chance to won one of these cuties.
sooo deadly cute – my least fav was gym too – I always ditched.
Hated Gym class had it early in the day so I had to be sweaty all day long. No way was I taking a shower in gym class they had no shower curtains!
I’m in LOVE!! Those are too cute for words!
My least favorite part of school was gym. We used to have to “run” a mile once a week and I HATED it. HATED. There are no words strong enough for this emotion. Ugh, I’m getting all upset just thinking about gym class…. I need to go look at some more Tiddlywinks cuteness….
Those are so stinkin’ cute!
My least favorite class in school was GYM! ugh, I totally hated it. I tried to come up with every excuse I could think of to get out of gym! I’ve never been an athletic person and my hand-eye coordination stinks! LOL

OMG!!!! ADORABLE~!!! ok. well my most hated class is a toss up between gym **grrr**and MATH!! HATED them!! Both of them!! With a passion!!!!!
My least favorite class of all time is definately Statistics. I took it for 3 semesters before I passed it. It took having an instructor with such a heavy accent (that I couldn’t understand) to actually pass the class. I’m not sure how I did it, but finally I did. Why did I NEED that class anyway?
Off to hopefully get a Tiddlywink for my DD!
The class I hated the most? Advanced English! The teacher was very strict and looked like a bird. She said she wanted to read every book in the library?!? I’m an avid reader but I don’t know that I’d want to read every book in the library! Anyways, her class was always hard and I used to get into trouble for talking too much. Go figure!
Oh Lord help–those are so cute. I totally have no excuse to want one, as my youngest child is already 12, but I want one anyway.
My most hated class was always phys. ed. I went to this high school that was so stinkin’ preppie that in gym class we played field hockey, golf, and tennis, and we learned to fence and do archery. Seriously. “Not athletic” should be stamped on my forehead.
Oh dear, another site to add to m y addiction!! thanks.. nah i really mean that in a good way!! Thanks!! are they not just the cutest!!
I hated Textiles at school.. sewing and Knitting etc etc ( go figure i love ccrafts now) but those nasty little needles hurt and kept thinking my fingertips were the pin cushions. I did however get an A+ for a lovely all white fluffly jumper i once handed in. quite freaky really when my usual style was knit one pearl two and drop ten hahaha ( does it matter that my mum kniited the jumper?????)
As always i love ya blog…. hows anderson going? lol
I hated English class —- boring:( ZZZZZZZZ But Math and Science what fun!!! Thanks for the great giveaway:)
Gym and French.
I so hated gym for most of my life.
Being sweaty, feeling clumsy and disgusting, showering in old dingy shower rooms. Brrrr
I had French for 4 years and I hated almost every minute of it. Despite the fact I actually got along the best on our 3 week exchange to France, you could catch me jumping for joy if I got a D in an exam because it was an accomplishment….
Gym class absolutely! My one teacher even used me as a demonstration of how to play doubles tennis when your partner is useless! Thanks Mr. Shapiro, I still remember that! Oh well, I’m over it but never exactly fell in love with sports.
My most hated class was math. I took algebra 3 times in college before I passed (barely). In very close second place is gym class. I’m so not coordinated. I hope that my daughter doesn’t have my genes in regards to math and coordination!
Have a great day!
That’s got to be physics. The only class I ever failed.
Or maybe it’s college calculus. Not only was it brain boggling, the wrinkled old professor would go out of his way to hit on me… Eeewwww.
Now pick me so we can SQUEE together!
Oh.My.Gosh. I am so in love. You’re right, I’d never heard of her shop, but I’ll be stalking right along with ya babycakes.
PICK ME PICK ME!!!!
Aw crap- I forgot the class question…. Mine, BY FAR, was CHEMISTRY……….even the mere thought of it now makes me want to vomit and crawl in a deep, dark hole.
Latin. I hated the teacher and ended up dropping the course after taking Latin for almost 5 years!
Algebra-hands down!!!
I hated French class, which is why I cannot tell you in French how stinkin’ cute these dolls are.
I hated Algebra the most. I hated Chemistry too. But my lab partner, Brady, was cute so I hated it less. No cute guys in Algebra.
OMG!! These are just the most adorable critters out!!
I really really disliked sewing, having no patience for it whatsoever – the irony is that it happens to now be my passion – I love working with textiles and stitch!
Hated gym class….felt like it was a never ending way to line up a middle school aged, awkward girl next to a budding beauty queen. Ah, youth. It just seemed like a cruel joke!
OMG you did not exaggerate. These are to darn cute. I am bookmarking the page for gift giving
.
My least favorite class in school had to be history, followed closely by music.
I hated gym the most in high school!!
PE surely not my fav. Glad those days are long long over. But who wouldn’t absolutely love the adorable tiddlywinks. Make even big little girls happy.
The class I hated most was science. I hated doing all those stupid experiments with the beakers and liquid. BORING!
dmb161@aol.com
It was whatever math class Mrs. Kaminski taught. I think it must have been algebra. If I dared to raise my hand to say I didn’t understand, then she would call me up to work the problem out on the chalkboard. So I never raised my hand and I never learned a thing.
Those stuffies are so cute!
These are just the cutest ,so adorable.
I would have to say,Math and Gym were the worst.I absolutely hated the sucicide laps we had to do in the gym
Hands down, Biology. I could not dissect that frog or fetal pig. Probably the reason that while I work in healthcare, it is in a non-clinical position.
These are the cutest things I have seen from Etsy.
These are so adorable and your blog is so entertaining and I’m so glad I found it!
Obviously I sucked at English, but I really, really hated Gym.
I went to a school that made us all take Latin in 8th grade. Even though I loved languages, I hated that class SO MUCH. I felt a little better when I learned this rhyme:
Latin is a dead language
Dead as it can be
It killed the ancient Romans
And now it’s killing me!
Thanks!
Had to be 8th grade home-ec (cooking). I love to cook, but got a D. Why? Because the food was nasty and I refused to eat it, so I got marked down for it.
Physics was the class I dreaded most. It was HARD.
I hated gym, I was not co ordinated enough for it, but it was something you could not get out of. Looking back I should have tried harder, my butt would have thanked me.
It’s a tie between Home Ec and Gym…double yuck
My least favorite was science, but mostly just because of the teacher. She just made us do so much busy work and homework, as if she thought her class was the only class we had in school!
I hated greek … or rather I hated the teacher.
grrrrrr…
thanks for this chance,
hugs
My least favorite class in high school…Math…any kind of math. I was a pretty good student but math just didn’t come easy for me
I hated Wisconsin Studies. What a boring class.
My most hated class would have been either gym class or french. Ug. Hated them both. So do my daughters by the way. Must be genetic.
Algebra, hands down. Hated it. Never have had to use it. Get the shivers when I think about a time in the future when I’ll possibly have to “help” my children with their algebra homework. I think I’ll be investing in a good tutor!
The class I hated most was gym. I would get up early make sure my hair and make up looked great and i would get to school and the teacher would say go run a mile. It alwats seemed liked gym was first hour for me.
Same when it was time for the swimming part of gym. I would get ready to go to school, ride the bus with a great looking make up job, and hair do going on, because we all know we could not have gone out of the house with out our face and hair done. Only do have to jump in the pool at 8am.
By the way great giveaway again this month. You rock
I hated Chemistry. All those molecules and calculations and things. Ugh. We did do some funnish experiments, but they were few and far between. I liked remedial science a lot better. We at least got to build circuits and make light bulbs glow by sticking them in potatoes!
I hated Geometry.

First things first– those are stinkin’ cute! My kiddos are both hanging over my shoulder pointing out their favorites.
The class I hated most in school? Folk dance 101. My friend wanted to take it, I thought Ripping Your Toenails Off Slowly 101 sounded like more fun but I owed her big time so dance we did.
These are so cute! I think I must have one!
Most hated class was gym. I think it’s because of this that I hate almost any form of physical exercise now. I also hated Spanish class, but dropped it very quickly.
I hated math, mostly because this boy who was a MAJOR bully was always in my class and always sitting next to me. He would whisper nasty things, or pinch or hit me when the teacher was writing on the board. I eventually decided not to go into the advanced math class because I would have had to be in there sitting next to him. I hope wherever that guy is now in this world that he is miserable.
I absolutely hated gym and math in school. My inadequacy in math kept me off the first honor roll all through elementary school. In high school I was enrolled in honors classes and non regents math. Math did not make sense to me until the year after I graduated from college. I am still a little uncomfortable when I see numbers and letters together, LOL.
I also hated gym. I would have rather hurled myself down a flight of stairs than participate in gym class.
I hated band with a passion. I only took band so I wouldn’t have to take gym, which I was sure I would hate even more than band. There is nothing worse than being asked to play some scale in front of 90 other 8th graders when you are pretty sure the scale the teacher just named is one she made up.
Math…by far! More specifically algebra with Mrs. Hamilton (or Mrs HamHam as we called her – not sure why, though). Anyway, it was math.
I hated PE with a passion. I was always too self-consciuos to get undressed in the locker room around all the other girls. Plus I hated sports. I was the girl who always cried because the softball hurt her hand, when it was going like only 5 mph.
The tiddlywinks are adorable!!
I most hated math (as in all math classes)… ugh!
I most hated Latin – so boring
Love these precious babies. sooooooo sweet.
I have a baby nephew that needs a christmas present as sweet as this.
If I would be able to get it out of my 4yr old and 6yr old’s hands!
In college, I hated my Finance/Accounting class. It was on the third floor in an un-air conditioned building, in the summer–in the South–at 10:00AM. All I can remember was sitting in the back, waking up with my head on the desk and drool all over my book. AHHHH! boring!!! Oh, and walking away with a big fat D. oh well.
I love Allegro. I hated history when I was in high school. Now, I still don’t like memorizing dates, etc. but I like history a lot better than I did back then.
rsgrandinetti@yahoo(DOT)com
Chemistry. I never learned it at all – just memorized enough to get me through the final with a passing grade – TWICE.
I hated PE. I dreaded it every day. Thanks for the chance.
mogrill@comcast.net
Oh my word. I want one of each!
My most hated class in school would be a tie between Algebra and Geometry, both of which hated me back equally as much. Geometry hated me so bad I almost didn’t graduate.
I still panic just thinking of it. *shudders* I’d take Hom-Ec hands over those any day… then again, I didn’t even take Home Ec. lol If you told my 16 year old self I’d be a SAHM, my 16 year old self would throw one heck of a temper tantrum.
These tiddlywinks things are absolutely adorable!! I would love one. I used to sew and I was thinking as I looked at these, I could make something like that. Then reality intruded and I knew any creature I tried to make look adorable wouldend up resembling a Gremlin on crack.
My most hated class in high school was Algebra. The teacher thought I was a moron. I made A’s and B’s in everything but his class, which I barely passed. He hated me from day 1 when he called my name and looked up briefly and said “You’re Bruce’s sister?!” and when I was forced to admit it [we have distinctive noses and blue eyes] I knew it was all downhill from there, because my older brother was really bad at Algebra, too, and a total wisecracking goober.
Ah, high school. I’ve never wanted to go back, and I have the therapy bills to prove it…
Speech was most definitely my least favorite class in school. I mean, who ever uses *that* in real life? Oh, wait. Maybe I did back before my life revolved around a 10-month-old. Now my conversations have devolved into silly songs and animal noises (that’s what she said?). Anyway, thanks for the giveaway & the intro to Tiddlywinks site – very cute!
I hated chemistry. A lot. It didn’t make sense at all, and I just never got the hang of it. However, the last month of the school year, we did a unit called Quantitative Analysis, and it brought my grade out of failing status
Oh, and I love Allegro. A whole freaking lot.
Class I hated most–English my Junior year–I always loved English and did really well until my junior year –my teacher was 50 divorced chain smoking *itch who loved my older sister–every time she mentioned me she had to bring up the fact that I would never live up to my sister’s standards. I think every paper she gave me back she literally compared me to my sister. It was bizarre!!
I love the tiddlywinks!!
kakihararocks@gmail.com
The class I hated most was math and by fate, i am having to take 3 courses of math in college!!
I really hated Algebra-I was terrible at it then-and I still am
SQueeeeeeeeee is right!! Scottie sure has an eye for cuteness!! I most disliked math in school
never did get it!
By the way I really want to win!!!!!
I hared gym. you had to change and sweat for a class that was worthless.
I would choose the Snooze bunny-so darn cute!
Social Studies – I could never remember all of the dates.
dreamcleavers@yahoo.com
i hated english class–i hated writing and couldn’t stand all the corny books they made us read that were classics, i’m still trying to figure out why some of them are considered to great they were boring
Class I hated the most….history – not because I didn’t like to learn about the past – but the teacher always related it to football….which could be why I could take it or leave it as well!
These are SO CUTE! I can’t decide which one I like best!!! I wanna win! I wanna win!!!!
US History. I actually love history but it was a junior year class and my schedule was messed up and I got put in it because there was no room in Freshman Government. I was picked on by the junior/senior boys all the time and everyone, even the teacher called me “The Freshman” all year. Almost ruined history for me for life!

There were plenty of times when I hated Gym the most; for instance, when we were in the swimming section of the year… and I can’t swim. It was even better when I was pushed into the pool. Luckily for me, I was standing a little closer to the shallow end, or I would’ve been one drowned Sophomore. Gym didn’t get better until I got into Weight Lifting class my Senior year.
Damn algebra and all those advanced math classes were my bane.
