I think I'm going to sit out this year also. I have bins (more than one!) full of candies and I have yet to even start using some. I'll miss everyone, maybe I'll be back next year after I use up some of the thousands I have on hand right now.

IrishMom 01-25-2020 11:25 AM

Just sent my PM to both of you - I would love to join again! Thanks!

PamelaOry 01-25-2020 11:32 AM

I did not receive a pm for February birthdays. Can someone please send me the addresses.

Janice McC 01-25-2020 12:30 PM

I forwarded my copy a few minutes ago. :)

Will miss you in the coming year’s swap. Stop in to say hi and to see projects we make. Might give you some ideas. :)

Because you had to wait so long for everyone else to show off their lovely presents, I've added something a little extra in there for you :) Enjoy!

I have let Barbara and Janice both know that I won’t be doing the b-day candy swap this year. I haven’t been on the thread much so I think I owe all of you a little explanation. Seems when people have disappeared we all wonder and I don’t want anyone to do that.
As some of you know I was diagnosed with cancer almost 2 years ago. Radical chemo and radiation took care of the cancer but the side effects that it left for me have been horrendous. The doctors tell me that it seems I have gotten them all, needless to say it’s been a very long recovery and I’m not done yet. My biggest hurdle right now is my intestines. December and January I have been in the hospital twice for a blockage. The Lakeland-FL regional hospital and Mayo Clinic have not found a remedy as yet. I was burned so badly from the radiation that it literally shrunk my small intestine and expanded the large one. I go back in the hospital next week for another colonoscopy and an EGD scope, I’m hoping that something will show up and they can fix it.
Needless to say it has made everyday life quite an adventure to live with.
With me not knowing what this year will bring, I don’t want to sign up for things that I’m not sure if I can fulfill. I certainly would not want to leave you all hanging in the middle.
If any of you have a little more room on those prayer lists or “good vibes” list, I’d appreciate being added to it.
I will check in from time to time and see what you are up to.....always need new ideas for these candies. Hope to get back to sewing again soon. Thank you so much for letting me participate the last few years, I’ll miss it

barbarakibler23 01-28-2020 05:24 PM

It is always sorry to see people go from our swaps.

Jaba I am sorry that you are having so many problems. I will keep you in my prayers and please stop by on the new thread whenever possible. We are all friends and we are all pulling for you to recover from this horrendous disease and its rage against your body.

Barb

barbarakibler23 01-28-2020 05:26 PM

Just wanted to let you all know the new swap is up and running ....please check the list of participants and make sure if you are returning that you are on my list.

Barb

two newbies already!

aborning 01-28-2020 07:49 PM

jaba, so sorry to hear of your medical complications. Glad to hear that you are also connected with the Mayo Clinic. I live just 3 hours from the actual Mayo Clinic in Rochestor, MN. Is your Florida Regional Hospital partnered with Mayo? My daughter works at Rapid City Regional Hospital in Rapid City and they just partnered with Mayo Clinic in January and changed the name to Monument Regional Hospital. It is very good that Mayo is partnering with lots of hospitals because those hospitals then have extra easy access to Drs. at Mayo, even if it is just for advice, without the patients having to actually go to the actual Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. I am glad to hear you have connection with Mayo Clinic. They are the best. Good luck with your recovery and I will certainly keep you in my prayers.

Queenbarbiej 01-29-2020 04:18 AM

I received three more packages yesterday.

Just dropping by to say Happy Hump Day. My February Birthday candies will be leaving my hometown on Saturday.

WendyMcD 01-29-2020 07:43 AM

Whooop there she is! I'm so stinking excited! I was all down and depressed. Then I came here and here you are. I've been stalking you all since the day I joined WWQP. And your finally open. I can't wait. Since I'm a newbie I completed a mug rug swap and have been waiting for the wall hanging swap to need my hanging. I made it a month or so ago but it's still sitting here. Since I can't do those I've asked the first friend I made here for my referral. Now I'm going to print off the rules and see what lovelies I have for ya'll. I'm so stinking excited, I wish I could run off the energy. Alas,age and infirmity stop me. Gotta get this out some way. Oh I know... quilting! Hahhahaha! Oh me. So happy to finally be part of the group. Thanks for hosting this Barbara.

WendyMcD 01-29-2020 07:44 AM

And I posted in the wrong place. See,,, excited.

pinkflowers 01-30-2020 02:20 PM

RosemaryAttaway ... No- sorry. How did you address the envelope? The "South" is the street, not the city. The South is supposed to be written after the street name. Maybe that is what happened?

Please don't send a replacement, really! I am so overflowing with candy charms. Your good thoughts and intentions are plenty for me! :)

MizMelly 01-30-2020 06:46 PM

Rosemary Attaway, you should have received mine by now also. The other two ladies received their's on the 25th.
