cuppy 02-04-2017 05:23 PM

CookieZenmilk 02-04-2017 05:59 PM

SheriR 02-04-2017 07:41 PM

Ok. I'm not really a flake partner but I just saw the partner list. I messaged carolols. Hope she sees it. She mentioned she wasn't sure how to do messages.

Armylady2012 02-05-2017 04:00 PM

Awesome! :)

I should be able to send yours later this week.

CookieZenmilk 02-07-2017 07:59 AM

carolols, we need your address. if you hover your mouse over my name or SheriR's name, it will bring up an option to private message and u can give us your address. then look at the Notifications tab above and it will tell u if u have a message.

if anyone can instruct her better, please feel free to offer the help.

if that doesn't work, i will give u my email.

CookieZenmilk 02-07-2017 04:14 PM

carolols, notice my name is dark bold on the left side, right above my icon with the cookie in the cupcake's mouth. if you click on that, it will bring up a menu that says

View profile
Private message
Visit homepage.

click private message, that should bring you to a private message box where you can type in your address and then hit send.

if that doesn't work, you can email me at mandylifeboats64 at yahoo dot com (i am spelling it out so a scammer can't pick it up)...hopefully

Armylady2012 02-08-2017 06:58 PM

Sleepy hollow your FPC did go out in the mail on the 6th.

cuppy 02-09-2017 03:40 AM
