WMUTeach how close are you to South Haven???? My son and his family live out there. Maybe we can meet up sometime this summer.

:)Barb

SheriR glad you took the teasing stride. I was chuckling when I was posting it ...then after I read it I thought...yikes hope that was okay!

Our -10 makes us really love the summer. But i will say it is really hard to get quilting done during the nice weather because I stay outside as long as I can. gardening .....my other addiction.

Oklahoma weather is fearsome right now, hope I can get to Broken Arrow this weekend. The Oklahoma City practically rolls up the highways due to the icy weather. Saw an 18 wheeler laying on it's side on a highway frontage road today. I couldn't see across the street yesterday, snowing so hard! I learned to drive in deep snow/ice while living in the hills (my aviation map calls them the Allegheny Mountains) of western Pennsylvania. Four winters were quite enough, but I do miss my friends there. I'm good to drive, it's the other drivers here in OK who scare the beejesus out of me! 4-Wheel drive does not mean you can do 75mph in this kind of weather, who are those folks???
Anyway, please pray for me!

Just a little chat here amongst friends, everyone. I live in Portage which is just immediately south of Kalamazoo. Portage and Kazoo actually share a border. I am about 10 minutes south of I-94. So let me know when you are journeying to South Haven this summer and we can do a quick lunch, snack or mini-shop hop. It would be fun and I am about 1 hour east of South Haven. OOOOO if we time this right we could pick blueberries on your way to South Haven. I know a lovely place to pick and chat and eat and pick and chat and .......

Stay safe, DJ, and everyone else with this horrible winter storm weather.

Wow... Janice shares a birthday with George Washington!

I will stay in and quilt today. All schools have been shut down due to threat of ice. I drove in it yesterday but today I'm staying home.

BTW, I posted a couple of links to patterns for our 2.5" candy squares over on the new thread. They are cute and non-traditional. Go take a peek...

I wonder who will be the last quiz winner for our 2014 group??? :D

I'm curious too. I didn't enter since it didn't seem right as it's my birthday and I've already won a couple of times. We'll see who the lucky gal is!

Sounds great! Pretty cool to actually meet someone who is out there in computer land!

well the tiny piece of paper with a lucky lady from the board belongs to...........

DJmat.....she is our last winner for this year's swap.

Congrats DJ....it will be put in the mail on Friday :)

SheriR, Did you receive charms from me. I sent them over a week ago. Please let me know. Thanks

SheriR & Janice plz let me know if you get your birthday candy. I mailed it last Tuesday when I went to the city for my pre-op. Thank you. Bonnie

Don't laugh ladies, but my postal delivery man did not deliver Friday AND Saturday. Afraid of slick roads or something. Hubby mailed something for me Friday and heard them say they told all the deliverers to get back to the PO!! I bet tomorrow I have a box full of goodies. I'll let all y'all know asap!!

<3Sheri

I too enjoyed this year and look forward to another fun swapping year.

Yea me! Two birthday candy cards came today. Thanks BillieJean and Quilter day by day!!! So fun to get these envelopes! I'm waiting two more. I'm sure they'll be here any day. My po got stopped up due to bad weather. I guess they don't deliver in rain, snow, sleet, and hail anymore lol! I didn't get mail for three days!!!

Ohmygosh my hubby had another birthday candy card!! Sneaky devil.

Thanks dottiedodge!!!!

almost all finished with this swap....thanks for the update Sheri

Sheri and Barb, I'm waiting for 2 more as well. Nurse Bonnie and Pjjandme, but I think the latter is a lost cause. I'm so ready to move onto the new swap!

Barb, Thank You for the lovely Watercolor Whimsy charms of the last contest win for 2014 Birthday Swap!
You, ROCK!!!!!
hugs
dj

Fyi, Nurse Bonnie's candies finally came in, probably on Saturday. I was out of town but the package was mixed in my mail for the weekend. Thank you to Nurse Bonnie. And Barb, that's the end of the ones I expect since pjjandme is off the radar. NOW 'm totally moving on to 2015. Thanks for everything Barb!

Yes, thank you Barb for a great year hosting this swap! Looking forward to the new one!

Yeah...just waiting to hear from SheriR....did you receive from nurse bonnie???

Bonnie, I received your card today! Man was the usps slow this time. It's posted 24 Feb!!!!! Thank you for the sweet card. :D
