If You See My Marbles

If any of you have seen my marbles, I would like some back.  I have decided after liking the Virus Shawl to make several as gifts.  Okay, no problem, they only took 2 weeks to make.  Except I want to make at least 3, possibly 5 more, so there goes about 2 months.  I found a great pattern in a book called Afghan Extravaganza.  Now I want to make 3 of those as gifts.  By estimation, that's another 2 months... Each.  So there goes another 6 months.  Make that 8.  That doesn't count my granny shawl, my corner to corner blanket, OR my cross stitches.  Nor does it consider the other 2 blankets I have going.  Oh good gravy!  Can someone please find my marbles for me, I have absolutely lost mine!
