Lynnie I think it was that if you wanted patriotic and stated that in your sign up, if at all possible you will be paired with a person that wanted patriotic also. If you said you didn't care, then with someone that didn't care either way too, or picnic etc.....I said patriotic so that is what I made. Finished them today so they are ready to go. Hubby left early this morning for a 10 day "guy's only" retreat to the mountains. Think I will have a little retreat of my own
