I want to let my SS know that I received my package and I have to say it is being really mean. It is sitting on my butcher block saying "open me open me" All I have to say is not nice.

WHITE CHRISTMAS
dedicated to SHARON B.
from TINK"S MOM { also known as SusieT. } does the T. stand for troublemaker I wonder ??????


'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.

I make lemon pie with Eagle Brand (or store brand) sweetened condensed milk. I just use the can of milk plus lemon juice and it sets up to a nice soft consistency; my SIL puts eggs in her and bakes it, so it's a bit sturdier. Either way is delicious and pretty foolproof.

Dang! Cindy , yesterday you said it was 8 days till openong! Geez! Now I have to go count for myself.LOL! As far as the lemon merange pie....when I cut into it to serve it, the innards looked like cellulite before the first bite was taken. I will not use corn starch again in my pies! I drained it in the sink and then it was ok! Tasted really good though!
Come one Cindy, Lets go buzz Sulabug and Huntannette on our Super Deluxes! weeeeeeeeeeeeee!:cool:

Dreamer....You know that the T stands for TINK...cuz there are so many Susie's around here....
That's my story and I'm sticking to it...LOL

Thanks Dreamer2009 for Carol of the Bells. Now that is in my head till I go to sleep. Hugs

Way to go Knittee I am glad you got yours. I still have no package but it will be here in its own time.

I will be sending you a pm shortly.

hope the one I sent made it safe and sound...it has been a while, it should be there already!!!

My package is still sitting on the floor, next to my desk. I've just about given up on Phoebe 'helping' me with it. :rolleyes: Looks like I'm gonna be forced to wait, after all. :p

lol I`ve been buzzed.....lol ..... hey tell you a secret...I already started shopping for my ss for next year......lol got a few cute items...had to get them ....was a good deal on black Friday.....youhouu....better make sure I remember where I put them next year...lol

I'm in another swap and it's been my experience parcels to and from Canada take at least double, often three times as long as they do to reach the US. I've no idea why, as I thought the Border checks were similar to those of US? Anyone know why it takes so long?

It took less that 13 days from USA to Australia

It took less that 13 days from USA to Australia.... Only 7days 11 hours & 20 mins to wait

I still don't have my box yet but I am sure it will get here sometime soon

I am still waiting for my SSPeson to announce "I got it" but alas, not yet. I will wait patiently in the hole with my early Christmas present...1891 Singer VSII treadle machine! Her name is ROSIE [ATTACH=CONFIG]449408[/ATTACH]WoooHooo! I finally loaded my very first picture on QB. Gosh! I am so proud!

Judylee, she's gorgeous!

Oh my Judy! What an early Christmas present! Rosie is gorgeous! Now you can sew right there where DH is & not make a lot of noise & bother his surfing of the internet! Well, almost no noise! I can see you giggling & laughing in delight as you use Rosie.
DH is home & replaced the rafters in my studio yesterday. Why is it men can make so much of a mess doing something? Now I have to go vacuum my studio before I can get any quilting done! But, I did manage to get rid of some things that really needed to be gotten rid of in the process. Now to finish straightening up so I can get back to quilting.

Today's hint: I've spent a lot of time in your state.

I just love this picture and would love to have it as my a screen top Can you tell me how I could do this and still get the movement of the snowflakes???
Thanks
Pat

Wow! She's a beauty!!! :)

Judy, you are a blessed girl! What a yummy early Christmas gift you received? Love the looks of Rosie!

Judy, what a beautiful new machine. I never find them in that condition.

Hint for today: You are a generous quilter, donating your works of art to various causes.

We can wait together Bezzie as I don't have mine either.
I know it's on it's way and will get here sometime.
I went to a Christmas dinner last weekend (for someone who would was visiting) and we had a little gift exchange. We all opened our presents but mine was made by a woodworker who had enclosed the gift in a wooden box which he GLUED together. In order to get the present out I am to get a chizzel and hammer. I love it! It will sit under my tree until Christmas. The moral of the story is that I am a patient woman :o)

Dreamer, I love your packaging. How creative and adorable!

I can hardly wait for opening day. I have had my ss package for a looong time! I ignored it for a long time but the closer I get to the big day the more curious I get to see what is inside.
I would like to give another hint to my special person but I think I am all out of hints. Ummmmm, you are one of those that don't post a lot.
Guess that will have to do. I see that everyone had a great Thanksgiving as we did. Yes, we had turkey and ham and all the trimmings. My youngest did most of the cooking along with her sister. Yummy!
Tracy made a really yummy cranberry sauce. She put whole cranberry sauce, walnuts and manderin oranges in a blender and blended just enough so we could taste little chunks of cranberrys, walnuts and oranges.
Soooo good!

OMG! LOL! When I ready your story, I laughed and laughed. I then read it to my DH only to find that this time the woodpecker became woodworker and wasn't even funny to him! i like it with the ingenious woodpecker instead!
hehehehe

Judy, what a beautiful new machine. I never find them in that condition.

Dreamer, keep those carols acoming! We'll really be in the spirit of opening our boxes 1 week from today! Good to see you're back posting them! The christmas tree is up & my box is under it so it won't tempt me as much, but the cats are another story! They're busy exploring the whole set up! Hope we still have a tree standing come Christmas morning!

oh I am a patient person to are we the only ones who have not got their package yet and if our gifts are not here on opening day we can open a bottle and had a little toast with the rest of them

I haven't posted any hints to my Santee yet, but since Opening Day is just a week away now, here goes...

Good things come in small packages!

Judy and Amy~ Your machines are beauties!! :)

First...beautiful machines ladies. Congratulations on your lovely new "toys". I have one that was my grandmothers....but it needs a new belt...and has not been used since I was a girl. I used to sit underneath and "pump" the treadle for her while she sewed. I have not given any hints to my SS.....but since we are getting closer... You Y Y..............You were the beneficiary of "new" duplicates in my collection.:)
