I also drink alot of Bigelow tea's. I love there sleeptime at night. I love spice chi as well, but only from Trader Joes, so I only get this one when one of my daughters goes by one.

I have been drinking a lot of green tea since I got my teeth bleached. It stains less than regular tea. The Lipton Lemon Citron sounds good, I drink a lot of Bigelow green tea with lemon, both decaf and regular, also love their citrus chamomile. I love almond biscotti. I used to make anise toast, very similar to biscotti. Haven't made it in years, sounds like something to do this year.

We don't have a Costco here. And that Amazon box of 100 tea bags is expensive. I get my Bigelow Organic Green Tea at BJs for a lot less than that.

Ha, Ha! You're heading for the naughty hole!

Judylee2 09-22-2013 01:16 PM

I want to join in the fun but I don't know how to PM! Somebunny Please help!!!!

ArizonaKAT 09-22-2013 01:21 PM

Well my weekend sucked. $180 for a farrier and $150 for a horse chiropractor Friday night. Saturday horse is down with the colic. 100 mile round trip to the vet for meds and another $170 . . . in between making her get up walking in circles all day. Going to be eating hot dogs till next pay. . . blah, blah, blah . . .

Where's the naughty hole? I'm jumping . . . and heading straight for the "good" bar.

grann of 6 09-22-2013 01:22 PM

You can do it a couple ways, Judylee2. You can click on Terri's avatar, and then click on Personal Message on the left side of the screen. Type in tlrnhi, and Secret Santa in the subject line, then type your message. Or you can go to the top of this page where all your info is (on the very top right). Then under notifications, you can send a personal message. It really is very easy. Any more questions, just ask here, we can help.

ArizonaKAT 09-22-2013 01:23 PM

Tlrnhi please don't give me KatsKidinWI. I'm the KAT and I already know what's in her box. :-)

grann of 6 09-22-2013 01:27 PM

ArizonaKAT, my DD just bought a 100+ acre farm and "inherited" the 5 horses/ponies that reside there. She is complaining about the costs, but the lady who owned the farm and still owns the Halflinger ponies, and 1 Icelandic pays for all the fees for them. DD just happens to see the bills. She said it was $480 for the shoeing every 6 weeks for the 4 horses/ponies. The Icelandic has Cushings Disease, so he has expensive vet bills too. Anyone who thinks horses are not expensive is in for a BIG surprise. Jump on in, we will take your mind off your troubles.

Cindy60545 09-22-2013 02:00 PM

Oh goodie! My partner in crime has arrived! Watch out Dreamer & Sharon! Judy & Cindy may just rival you this year!!

I just looked at the rules and can't find when the mail out date is. When is it? Thanks!

THE RULES....

1. Mail deadline is November 14th. That is a HARD deadline. No mailing AFTER this time. Since you have almost 2 months, there should be NO excuse for mailing late, unless you are incapacitated or 6 feet under.

Terri how deep is "the hole"?

omacookie 09-22-2013 05:21 PM

Is, the hole air conditioned ????Or is it hot as HE@& ?

Great! I am marking it down on my calendar right now. Thanks!

Leota 09-22-2013 05:26 PM

I would think it's a open hole... you won't need it air conditioned.... and being the time of year and it's location... it's not going to be hot either....except for all the hot air blowing around

DEADLINE is NOVEMBER 14th. That doesn't mean that you have to wait to mail it till 11/14...you can mail it earlier and not have to worry about it not arriving on time.
Plus, you can drive your giftee a little crazy, wondering what is in the package....hehe!!!

I'll make sure I have plenty of catnip with when we go raiding Terri's stash....she has guard kitties! Better bring some kitty treats, too...

sew_Tracy 09-22-2013 05:51 PM

YAY! Have not been able to play in a while! Looking forward, might be the only Christmas gift I get. Darn, just a kid at heart!

ArizonaKAT 09-22-2013 06:46 PM

Last year I mailed from 3 different states. I bought things on ebay and the sellers were good enough to put their return addresses on with "Secret Santa".

Reminds me of a quote I read recently: How do you make a small fortune with horses? Start out with a large fortune!

Elisabrat 09-23-2013 06:32 AM

not falling for your siren call you bad bad quilters! you live down in your muddy old hole with your sewing machines. I will sit on top in my chair unplugging them every chance I get. And the post man stops here buddy boys. I get all the boxes as it appears few are willing to sit on top and run the darned sprinkler over your mud hole but being kind, good, patient (oh yes) and in great fear of our leaders wrath should one not comply have at it. You guys enjoy. Oh yeah up here we have any thing you can imagine at our fingertips.. tea, coffee, hot toddies.. sugar covered snow ball cookies and jam thumbprints, big old rib eyes on the bbq which you cant have as alas a bbq in a mud hole is not a good plan and those big lights you installed? power outage coming I am sure of it. ..so muck away girls muck away. raid my stash and my attack kitties will eat you alive. in one bite. big big kitties.

I think we will have stuffed mushrooms, chocolate covered strawberries, packages did I mention PACKAGES full of secret santa goodies while you guys will have mud muck and shotguns pointed right down into that hole. Tell me, which side would you rather be on NOW??? (I wonder will those packages have fabric? threads? Christmas cookies? candies? books? patterns? hum.. go enjoy your mud girls go on)..

I think I'll stay good...Looks like it could be more fun up on top. Wasn't a lot of turkey offal thrown down the hole just after it was dug?

Boy you get hungry just reading the board, so many awesome things here. I tried this tea lipton lemon citron in the diner and just loved it, well of coarse ya can't find it any where. So I did find it on Amazon and ordered it two weeks ago and still hasn't arrived. It's about 5.50 a box, but well worth it.

Have you tried Liptons Chai Latte?

Quilty-Louise 09-23-2013 09:35 AM

I will let ANYONE (except my daughter LOL) raid my fabric stash,
BUT there is a catch to free and willing raiding......


My fabric room is a total MESS so in order for you to raid the room
you have to clean and organize ( at least somewhat) the room.

HAHAHA bet that will kept y'all "raiders" out of my room.

When I say my room is a MESS I am totally honest in that statement.
I got a new desk for my fabric room earlier this year and it required me
moving everything out of the sewing room into the fabric room just to
be able to have enough room for the new desk. I still have not been in
the room to clean and organize it, although I did try a little bit last night
but it didn't last long because my back started hurting again.

anyone taking SSSSHHHHHAAAAARRROOOONNN''''sSS advice
will lose out on what is in the hole.
we have lots and don't mind sharing; right grann and Tink !!!!
we in the naughty hole know when you share BRIBING not necessary.
we go on midnight hunts to Terri's & Sharon's homes and
raid the quilting rooms of FABRIC.
and in cyber world NEVER get caught.
s00000000000000 Snoooooooooooze
and Looooooosssssse.
:p


Quilty-Louise 09-23-2013 09:39 AM

This comment is a JOKE only and is a "play" on words, so PLEASE
do not take this serious.

But if all the naughty people are in the "hole" doesn't that exclude
them from mailing on time as they are already 6+ feet under?


just askin' is all.

(Like I said this is a joke and a play on words.
