December Secret Pal Alternate Sheet
 

here is the new page since we are unable to get the old one working. I have reported this problem to the QB but so far have not heard anything. So please use this as the swap page and please post your pictures here

Thank you
Verna

Please make sure you let me know when you send and when you receive your package

Got it. Thanks, Verna..

Thanks. But there are 28 posts on the second page of the old thread that don't show. Surely Admin can find a way to retrieve those posts?

I sure do hope so I don't understand why our posting was the only one affected though. Doesn't make sense to me.

I also reported the issue. I posted on page one and it went to page 3. You can not review page 3

I cannot view page 2 and 3 and have not been able to since Friday. Hoping my secret pal got her gift. It was delivered Thursday and I have not heard anything.

Glad we got a new post... Thank you Verna.

Thanks Verna

Your welcome sorry it took so long for me do a new page. I was out of town and got home about 1am this morning.

no problem, verna, just glad it's up again :)

My secret pal is going to have to wait and wait and wait....as I won't be to the post office until Thursday....one day to spare before the deadline!

I have the song "Anticipation" in my head ;)

Thank you Verna, I thought I was the only one having issues. I can't mail until Friday....I took half day off, I've been getting off work late last week and this one.
Goodnight all.

Thank you, Verna. I thought that I had done something wrong and really messed up the site on my end. BrendaK

I'll add a picture of my secret pal treasures received from Verna. A wonderful Christmas panel, fabulous white-on-white fabric that I've been needing, delicately crafted Christmas ornaments and a leather embroidered mirror case all made by Verna! I also got a Queen Diva quilt applique pattern with a Quilt Dive button I can wear. Plus a fast snack treat recipe to enjoy.

Trying to load a picture.

Glad you like everything. Think I forgot to tell you that you need to use a good quality saltine cracker with the recipe

Okay Sweetie,

Thank you for letting me know!

Hugs

Caroline

Received my package!
 

Finally! Thank you so much Verna for helping us resolve our posting dilemma! I received my swap package a few days ago from Crispy_Frog and it is much appreciated! She sent me: a kit for making 6 lovely pot holders, socks, thread, fruit and vegetable squares, sew-on embellishment charms, a hefty seam ripper, cutter blades, sewing themed nail file, sewing themed band aids, Dory pocket tissues, a special screw driver, a pencil or tool case, and some lovely dark blue fabric! I love it all!

Many thanks!

Deborah

Just a hint for my swap partner! I haven't mailed yet, but since distance is not a problem, your package should arrive fairly quickly! Since it's December, trying to make your package a little extra special!
I have swapped with you before and I know you are active in your quilt community and love shop hops!

I got the most a package of goodies from BrendaK! Thank you Brenda! A wonderful day brightener full of holiday cheer (Christmas in a box)! I love the jingle bells that were included in the package. So many projects and cool quilting tools too.

Thank you Crispy_Frog for helping to get the picture to a manageable size to upload.

I PMed Irene C to see if she'd received the package. Apparently she replied on the old thread which none of us can read. Here is a pic of what I sent:

Thank you Brigit aka Belfrybat for posting the photos for me.
As you can see everyone, I received a wonderful package. I've already put a ceramic Santa on the table runner, it is lovely I love it. My favorite color is purple, she hooked me up with a lovely charm pack and 3 more pieces of purple fabric. The applique pattern on the button photo is a door cover, I'm going to try to make this for the Spring. Can't wait to use the binding tool and acrylic template, I love small scissors....as I tend to misplace mine. I keep looking at the Amish designs book, it is a wonderful book. Last but not least the snack mix with the spice mix....yum.
Thank you Brigit! Merry Christmas All!

Just a reminder to everyone, I will be out of commision for a few days starting tomorrow the 13th. Going into the hospital, taking my iPad with me but don't know if I will feel like getting on it. So if anything comes up and you need to get ahold of me go ahead and contact me, my Dh will be checking in for me and letting me know what is going on. I don't really know how long I will be there they say from 1 day to 3 days. So don't know will let everyone know how the surgery went.

Thanks you all are an awesome bunch of people and I really love this swap

Verna

Thank you, Verna! Wishing for your swift recovery! I also just want to thank everyone here on our special December swap for participating during such a busy season. I just didn't want to go through quilting notions withdrawal this month! Not only that, I want to thank everyone for paying the high postage amounts! I know that adds a lot to the secret pal budget. You're all a great team to play with! I hope to see everyone in the New Year!

My SP package went out today heading West of me. I hope she enjoys it! I had a blast putting it together for her!

ThereseS--- If you don't mind me saying...you need a profile picture! ��

Just wanted to say these packages are just wonderful I have seen so far! You are some lucky ladies! I have had fun looking at all the pictures to see what you all have received....how fun!

My package went out today. They say you will get it Saturday, so you can't be too far from me. It is going West of me and a little up I guess you could say. I have never had this person before and I had a lot fun putting her package together. One thing I wanted to get her I looked at several stores and couldn't find it, so I couldn't send her her favorite drink.

Mailed my package out today also Going West. Hope you find everything to your liking. Wished I could have shopped more, but with having the colonoscopy, a day later getting the flu and several days of fone tag and going round and round trying to schedule this shot for my back It's been crazy!!!

Your fav thing is doing something with your hands, No pets, I've visited your state when BIL was in the Navy, You wanted something handmade.

I like to see the little "stocking stuffers" that get put in the packages. Handy notions for the quilt room, purse and otherwise. All the packages have personality plus!

I could be Marietta's secret pal. Time will tell.

Marietta, I can relate to the phone tag. I have been trying to get my pain pump surgery scheduled now for a month. All that has to be done is the pre-authorization and the doctors office can't seem to get it to my insurance. So much for the doctor telling me would get it done by the end of the year. I can't see that happening. I think I could of walked the papers there by now. Good Luck getting yours scheduled, it is frustrating.

catjo Sorry to hear that. Finally got mine scheduled after staying on the fone, crying, wailing, leaving messages, calling back, Asking because they dropped the ball and didn't seem to be putting forth any effort, Did I need to find another Dr...,,, within 10 minutes I had a supervisor on the phone and 3 of the earliest dates available. I go in next Thursday. :) Now just crossing my fingers it works.

Good morning everyone sitting here in my chair trying to straighten my knee, and it sure is hard to do. Anyway as far as I know I will be going home today, depends on the pt. Kinda looking forward to it but am gonna have trouble keeping the dogs away from me. They think soon as I kick back in my recliner that is permission for them to get in my lap.

Morning Verna!! Yeah, glad your doing good and going home.

Hello Verna! Glad to see you're back on here so quickly! Hope the surgery was successful and that you are home sooner than later. Keep moving that knee as instructed by PT and you'll be running around in no time at all :thumbup:

Christine

Verna glad you are on the mend. I am too. I can't believe the plague going around my office. Mercy!

My package went out today to a state that's been in the news for natural disasters. Wish I had the energy the last two weeks to do more for you but I hope you like what's in there. I know I do! Lol

Hello All,

I have alerted our tech team of the issue regarding the final page of the original thread not loading. I'll provide an update shortly.

Thanks,
Tyson

Thank you
Tyson

Verna so happy you are healing well.
My package is on it's way, mailed this afternoon.
I've pm you the tracking number.

Verna - glad you are recuperating (I was going to say "up and about" but I figured that was a bit premature.

I received a lovely package from Texas Tam today. And I do mean lovely. I'll post a pic tomorrow. Am wiped out this evening.

Here is a pic of the wonderful package I received from Texas Tam. Loads of fabric, one of which is a Dagwood theme that I will use to brighten some older man's day with a prayer quilt, needles and thread, a Nativity box, garden fairy, a cross, treats for me and my cat, and a mouse in a ball cat toy. I couldn't keep the cat away from it long enough to take the pic, which is why she is on the Dagwood fabric. I kept lifting her off, but before I could aim the camera she was right back up, so I gave up.
Thank you so very much Tammy for such a bountiful package.
