I was wondering, if Santa is holding onto my ornaments because I am a brat sometimes? I checked the mail box again today and bent down to look inside and said HELLOOOOOO and it said nothing in here but us dust bunnies.. AGAIN it said it again.. I think I will just stop looking. then maybe magic will happen and my ornament swappers will sneak me an ornament! magic! I believe in magic. just not today. no magic today :(

You are welcome, I am happy my quilting pals like your cross stitch ornament. This is a nice swap .

Mine are sent. Not to sure they will measure up to all i have seen but my dang ra would not let me complete the one i have been working on. But i will get those finished and send out as well when i do. so to my two pal you will be getting another package later.

Elisabrat, I promised you snowflakes for your tree, and they will be going in the mail tomorrow, I think. I just have to trim them up a bit and then hang gold strings on them, and you will be able to enjoy some gold snowflakes.

Hey brat...please show us what you get, last year i got those pretty crocheted snowflakes,
I need to learn how to make them.
They woukd look so nice hanging in a window.

They are the same ones I made for the ornament swap; made on the embroidery machine. But these are with gold organza, gold thread. They are almost ready to mail.

Girls I just did some texting with Krystyna this afternoon, right now she has no place to put things, may I suggest you all make a little place in a drawer or a box and put things in it that you wuold like her to have. FQ's, Ornaments things like that and as soon as they have someplace semi-permanet or permanet we can send them, possibly one of us can collect them all... I really don't think it's a great idea to send things now, cards yes, she can read those and put in an envelope if she wants to keep them... Most of you don't realize what it's like... I didn't go through it totally but was in a Hurricane when I first moved to Florida, I'm still afraid of the wind... 2 doors down from us the water was up 3 foot in thier house,, We were blessed we stayed dry... I cooked and fed and helped people with wash etc... John went and helped rebuild a neighbor's whold downstairs he didn't have insurance... I reall consider all those people who lived close by lucky as they were alive and did have an upstairs to sleep in and were able to get rebuilt in no time, very little mold etc... Where Krystyna and other friends are, they aren't so lucky,,, maybe lucky to have a place to sleep and water to drink and food to eat but not much else... Save the fancy things for when things are better for her... bright cards and lots of smilely faces on them... Lot of love can be tucked in a card... She knows you care....

Hugs and GodBless
