I know, I love looking at the pictures of what everybody made. I still enjoy looking at the pictures from the last couple years.I love looking at pictures anyway of just about anything. lol

Haven't gotten my name yet...but am ready to mail...:-)

I am putting the finishing touches/bling on mine.

They are going to be as Mr & Mrs sets.

Not ready so not worried about getting name. I'm sure her hands are full!!!!!

All you fast mailers are making me feel a wee lil bit bad, just a tad, tho...lol.. I just keep finding patterns I have that I forgot about..and making more ornys...ack! I will get mine out next week sometime, so I will be in the "middlers" group of senders...as long as I am not a "past deadliner", I figure I am ok...lol

since we don't have to mail till nov. 5th-there is plenty of time to check out a few more patterns. caught my dogs eyeballin one of the felted ornies. "no, not a chew toy!" I think I'll put them in the drawer for a few days.

finished up my pkgs for my partners. monday is Columbus day, so no mail, so i guess we'll all mail on tuesday. mines going out really early. both of my partners are west of me. (I live on long island ny) ha ha

No names yet but that is okay. I went shopping yesterday and picked up the supplies to make some new ones I found patterns for. My partners are going to have to wait a bit for theirs. The ones I picked out are a little time consuming. I know they will love them though. On top of ornaments I also have two Christmas swaps, two quilts I am working on, and a quilt to sandwich, FMQ, and bind for my quild for raffle so I have tons to do. I have to alternate between projects each day. So, just remember good things come to those who wait.

I have plenty to do to so will keep busy till I get my names. Didn't realize Mo day things were closed so no mailing on Monday but that's okay.

Lynnie,
Gotta say your west of me quip cracked me up!

Hi everyone, just read 29 pages of posts. I don't have my swap names yet either. Just thought I would check in. My classes are going great. I started my grad classes for fall the end of Sept. First weekend to homework done in Saturday. Excited for our ornaments.

Just checking I. And still no names so off to do something else. Finished making a cake waiting for it to cool off so I can get iced.

what flavor. i like my cake warm, so i'll have a piece right now, thank you.
wouldn't it be great if it was that easy to get a pc. of cake. ohhhh, if technology
would just catch up to my sweet tooth

no Lynnie it would not be good.I am 5' 5" and weigh 170 lbs! can you imagine what I would be if I could score a piece of cake that easily? oy vey!!! my scale cringes when I walk in the bathroom now!

Guess one isn't coming to me is it??

Rosemary I haven't gotten my names either don't worry.

I am sure Brenda is busting her tush trying to keep up with
real life, work and us here on the board.

ladybug, i'm not saying if you are or aren't, but you are still a tad west of me, long iland sticks out further than you
down in sunny florida. where are you there. i'm central long island, half way between nyc and montuak point, and half way between port jefferson and patchogue. (and across from a rock museum,) i used to tell my son that when he was about 3, didn't have to go into explaining what a cemetery was. I addressed my envelopes yesterday, and put them in the car, and to be honest with all of you, i don't remember who i got. that was yesterday, and i've been working on tht 3d printer thingy to get my cake here while it's still warm

yes louise, she's got a job, luckily, i don't anymore, but i get bored sometimes and just want to either get behind a sales counter or embroidery machine. i do miss it

I was hoping by tonight after I got everything done I would have names. Nope not yet. How many did we have that joined up?

Oy very! Send me ALL the cake and sweets!! My cholesterol is pretty much double my weight, but if I stop getting blood work, I can take care of that! Too bad the Dr will hound me like a vampire, tho...

Okay Lynnie, now I think you are the one who ruined the grading on a curve for the rest of us!! Pkgs addressed and in the car!! I picture you at the post office early Tues morning, like the old Mervyn's commercials with the lady tapping on and peering in the glass of the store, "Open, open, open!". :D
Kif

I will have my pkgs flying out tues morn also. 1 to MA and 1 to TN

If I stop finding new ornys to make, mine will go out before the deadline ;)

I still haven't received mine yet. Hopefully today.

Got my names and realized that it is a secret swap.... YIPPEEE

I love the secret swaps like this.

I'm not in any hurry because I 'm not mailing til the deadline which is Nov. 5 Th!!!

I need to start looking into my pin cushions for next month.
I have so many ideas, now to execute them!. tomorrow is mail day, Kiffie, yes i'll be there, knock, knock, knock, are you open yet"!!!!!!!!!

Got my pal's name. Thank you Brenda. Mary

My Mr. & Mrs. couples will be going out in the mail a little closer to
mailing date.

They are pretty much finished just a few small tweaks to them left
to do.

Got my names & was going to mail them today then someone informs me the Post Office is closed today! Oh well, will have to wait til tomorrow!

DUH..........Cindy!! :D You had better get with the program!! Hee-Hee
:D :D :D :D

Hee-Hee.........I wondered if you were paying attention to all of the posting's!! :D I can't chat now, as I have to get back to working on my handmade surprise for my SS!!
:D :D :D :D

yep, but you don't love me anymore! :( You don't call, you don't email. Thought you'd forgotten me! :(

cheer up Cindy, we're all here tosupport you.
just finished one of my pincushions for next month. I swear, I've got some screws loose somewhere. I just made a tiny pincushion sized roasted turkey. now I need a little platter to put him on. those wings were a bummer to make, no meat on 'em, just like the real ones. all of you, come on over and join the p/c swap when it's posted next month.

how's everyones ornaments coming along. since I did this roasted turkey so nicely, I guess i'll try something crazy for next years ornaments. I mean, I have year, right? so now off to find something insanely crazy.

Received my name this AM, Thanks Brenda... I even forgot where my Partner lives, will check it out and let you know tomorrow...

I don't have my name's yet either. That's okay since I am not quite finished and keep changing my mind and making more! Lot of fun!!

no name here either. How long should I wait? this happened once before with a fat quarter swap and I am not sure if it is because I am in Canada and no one wants to mail out or what? I guess if I don't have a name by this week I am not part of the exchange. Patti

Patti don't worry been feeling the same way. No name here and I have my ornaments ready in envelope to mail . I'm so ready for my names. She'll get to us hopeful tonight. Chin up and smile.
