Hey, Krystyna, I'm almost on the TN/GA border - about 200 miles north. We have neat weather (except right now, it's cold and we have had snow), but normally, quite nice. Only problem, everyone here speaks funny - course, they think I speak funny, too. I've had to learn to listen slower. There's some neat areas between Chattanooga (on the border) and Knoxville (up I-75), but they've had some miserable tornadoes. Watch out for them. Ringold, GA, just over the border had a real bad tornado. The only quilt shop was demolished. They've since rebuilt and I try to go there every so often when I have a day I want to drive. Can't think of any wierd bugs this area might have - nothing that I've seen. Don't like the stink bugs we get, though.

Good luck Krystyna hope all works out for you. Prayers.
Don't think I saw any clues for me.

Krystyna, come straight across the US from your home to the NorthWest. We haz great summers and springs! Also, I hear the NE is gonna get a big snowstorm again, none of that here either. lol, plus no weird bugs. Most places we don't even worry about fleas or ticks.

Wanda Lou: Great Package!!

Re-regifting: I don't think I've had anything I made given away, but then I don't make too much lately. I would be hurt though if I made something and someone re-gifted it the next time. Books, mags, patterns are fine, but hand made stuff? If it isn't wanted, give it to someone off the board :)

Krystyna, I am headed to the Eljay/Blue Ridge Ga. this Saturday. It is gorgeous there. They had 4-5" of snow but it is all gone now. I am hoping to find some cute quilt stores to get something that I can't buy here for my SP. My SP likes vintage items.

Okay, I want to add my two cent to the re-gifting. Please, if I send anything, please regift if it is not your style, taste, or you have too many. It will not bother me. I always try to make things I think others will like, but totally understand if they don't. I often crochet scarves, and not every one likes them. Sometimes I take the chance.

Clue set #3
SP #1 - Your state animla is the American Buffalo and your state motto is "Equal Rights." In addition, you collect something related to sewing.
SP #2 - Your state animal is the gray squirrel and your state motto is "United we stand, divided we fall." In addition, you can do outstanding things with a 1800's bureau.

My SPals zip adds to 17. I bought candy for her today.

Krystyna I will come and live with you when you move south. The older I get the less cold I can stand. I am freezing all the time. My home is usually about 63degrees. Heating oil is too expensive. Yes we are expecting 12-18 inch of snow, if the storm turns back in we could get 2-4 ft. The wind is going to blow up to 60 mph as well. That Northeast wind blowing off the water will be extremely cold. I am sure we will lose electric as well.

My zip in 17...maybe this could be me!
