I'm debating if I need to sit out this month, I had to go to last months thread this morning because I realized I forgot to post the rest of my package items. And work is going to be even busier this month, plus all the usual busyness of Dec. I guess I better hurry up and decide though -deadline is tomorrow noon :eek:
|
please stay and play with us this month.
|
Looks like no one has posted since Lori's post on 11-29
|
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did! Our kids all went home today, sure going to miss them. It's the first time I've been on the computer, so I missed the sign-ups. If everyone is like me, they're probably tired and not been on the computer too much, bet it will be busy again tomorrow.
|

|
Got my name!! My SP does a lot of charity work! Wheeeee! So I'm going to be filling her box up to the sideboards :)

got my names and as I am unable to do any sewing or quilting since my surgery in Oct (did not go well at all) my SPs will not be getting anything homemade. I am truly sorry.
I do believe I have had my Sps before, 1 I know for sure the other kinda iffy. Oh yeah also forgot to mention Dh did the shopping for me. LOL! Sp 1 - you are on a different time zone that me, your town was settled 1701, your town can boast about a Hollywood Costume Designer born and raised there. Sp 2 - you are on the same time zone as me, your town holds a fair annually since 1888. Thats about it for you. LOL! Truly hope you enjoy your packages. verna2197 PS alomost forgot I even remembered to put a note in the package. |
Verna maybe, maybe not.
|
I got my name and I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed with the thing you want the most (story of my life, lol). I can't find an online retailer that sells what you want - don't think these are sold here. But I am sending you you a substitute. If it doesn't work, it can also be used for something else........
You've been quilting a looooooong time, so I've decided to make my parcel 'all things Scottish', so I hope you won't be disappointed. Och aye. :D |
Got my name. Thanks Lori for letting me sign up late. You're the best!
SP I've never had your name before you've been sewing alot longer than me, (which doesn't have to be very long, LOL) you like dark chocolate and you have 2 furbabies! |

I have my name and my sp lives a loooooooooooooooooong way from me across the waters, but a place I would like to visit.

I just got a message from a friend of Krystyna's that she is in the ER now and has had a heart attack. That is all I know at the moment, I have asked to be kept in the loop so I can let you all know what is happening. Please keep her in your prayers. Lori

Oh, my!! I have not been reading the board a lot lately, even forgot to send Lori my info so I am not playing, but will certainly keep an eye out to find out how Krystyna is.
|
will be praying
|
I just this morning received a pm from Krystyna in which she expressed concern that she might have experienced a heart problem last nite. I'm glad she went and had it checked out. Will be anxiously awaiting news. She's said often that she's not real fond of doctors, so I'm hoping they give her a good exam before they let her go again. Krystyna -- if you see this -- LET them do all the poking and prodding they need to do so this doesn't happen again!!! We miss you and need you to be all better.
|
I also got a note from Krystyna saying she felt had a heart, so glad she checked it out. She has been through so much in the last couple of years plus her husband. Hugs and prayers.
