cute package Sharon!!

quiltnut4ever 06-14-2012 03:57 PM

Nice packages coming in! Rough day today. Woke up in the middle of the night with a bad leg cramp and then it was sore all day and the heat here with the heat index was at 102! By the time I got home I find that my internet wasn't working so darling boyfriend fixed it and here I am. Ready for a shower and bed!

I find that my camera takes pictures that are too many megabytes for the limit on the board. You might want to check that and adjust your camera if possible. Or you might crop your photo so it is not so large (by large I don't mean physical size, I mean electronic size). Hope that helps
Sharon:)

Mailed my package today to a gal with the name of a 1950's (yes, I'm old - I'll reach Social Security age this month, in fact) comic book character. Further there's a potential for water moccasins where she lives. I figure I'm safe putting out such specific info since she does not seem to post on this board.

Betty Boop's profile page says she lives in Wolcottville, IN

Hey, hope everyone has had a good day. Mine has been very busy. But on a good note made it to the PO and mailed my SP her pkg. It's going to a "fruity" state way up north of me. Should arrive on Saturday. Going out of town tomorrow for a family reunion on Saturday. So SP hope your pkg arrives on time and that you enjoy it.

tedytrser 06-14-2012 06:49 PM

Ok, I have finally gotten caught up again. Lets see if I can remember everything I wanted to post about. Maybe I should have taken notes. Ok here I go.....all of the homemade jewelry is pretty, hope everyone that has been ill is feeling better Sue, joejoe, wandalou ( now see this is where the notes would have helped) Teresa hope that you are starting on the road of recovery. I haven't had a chance to check back on your page. Next, on the list is the pretty stash that is no way shape or form is mine looking like that. And all of the very pretty colors. Oh heck now I just drew a blank on everything else with thinking about all the pretty fabric. Everyone is getting great packages. Oh, that reminds me I forgot to put my card in my package and I truly don't think I put my screen name on it.Ok I know stick a cork in it Deborah signing off Good Night

Many thanks to my pal for June, Sibi. I unwrapped my package to find a very pretty photo storage box -- what a great idea for sending a pal package. I can't imagine how she managed to get all the goodies in this box. First out was treats for the fur babies -- these had to be opened before I could do anything else. There were also treats for me -- bubble gum balls and chocolate covered pretzels. Also included were Mary Englelbreit pen and pad, a pin cushion jar with buttons (I needed a pin cushion!), four fat quarters and a couple of pretty girls on squares, some scrapbooking supplies and a very cute tape measure.

Great package from my SP for June.

SharonAnne 06-14-2012 10:50 PM

Betty Boop - Brenda Starr - great guesses, although they are: beeeeeeeeeep - wrong!!! But yes, a river IS involved. Cartoon character's sidekick and best friend is Sluggo. Now, that's giving everything away except for the firmie's contents!!!

crafty grammie 06-15-2012 03:18 AM

My SP shows she received her box on Monday,but I haven't seen a post or heard from her yet. I've never seen a post on here,sure would like to know is she received it. She may be a newbie.

the 'tree in the box' icon is right between the 'globe with red x' and the 'film strip' icon when you look across the top of the quick reply box. i ususally click on the 'go advanced' button next to the 'post quick reply' button to write my message and attach a picture because it seems to work better.

jess i truly hope that you can get some relief from your doctor visit. it is no party when you are sick and acting badly to your meds.[ATTACH=CONFIG]342170[/ATTACH] i offer my prayers for a speedy recovery.

the international packages usually take 7 to 10 days to arrive. usually you will not get any delivery info once the package leaves u.s. soil when you use the p.o. for mailing. i am not sure how it works if you use another method such as ups or fedex.

Trust me, I don't think that's a good idea ...:thumbdown:

buslady 06-15-2012 10:34 AM

Wow, I only missed a couple of days reading and was PAGES behind. Someone a couple pages said she should have took notes, I've had that very thought every time!! LOL Here is hoping everyone that is il gets better, everyone that is doing good, keeps it up; and everyone getting stuff likes it, and those sending is blessed a thousandfold!! I hope I covered it all!! Mine will go out soon. It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks around here. Gotta get to work.

onaemtnest 06-15-2012 11:04 AM

Well I'm baaaaack! Did you miss me? I'm 20 pages behind... missed the chatter but a death in the family and two trips to Denver for that reason....I'm not complaining but just excusin' :0)

Two, count 'em two SP are winging their way EAST of Idaho. Both to the same state, one in the northern part of the state....she yes, she traded with me a Twister sista' tool for some of my Fossil Fern fabrics :0)....she lives very close to the town DH and I were raised. She likes peanut butter.

Hmm...let's see the second box is headed to the same state but more mid state....she celebrates all holidays (she's a party girl :0) she has an embroidery machine, she wouldn't throw the
BLACK LICORICE out. Her zip code adds up to 13.

fayzer 06-15-2012 12:20 PM

I got my squishy form my secret pal Linda R. Love it! Will post a photo this evening and tell you all about it.:D I'm happy, can't you tell?

dabbler312 06-15-2012 12:38 PM

I received a notice from my secret pal today thanking me for the package I sent - I'm still trying to pick myself up from the floor - my package was shipped international to the Netherlands on Monday, June 11, and she already has it
(only 4 days)!!!!!
