A must see :lol:

Peach,
we must keep the faith, it´s said to be a reason for all
that happen to us.

I thought you could NOT take wrapped packages on a plane.....hmmmm Terri, are you messing with us? Some one needs to escort Terri to her final destination!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Good one!!

trupeach - when did this happen to your daughter?

I wish you and yours faith and hope (((hugs)))

My box was sitting for a week in the doorman room :shock:
He took for granted I was travelling as he hadnt see me for a while :evil:
Coming up in the elevator to check it would be too much work for the cutesy :hunf:
I GOOOT it ... oops ... ;-)
Thanks, SS .

Peachy...I am so sorry that you and your family are going thru all of this, and so grateful that your son wasn't hurt! ~hug~

LOL Miss Mousie ... you should give the lotteries a try.
I miss my stuff because its all packed, I´m moving in a week or so
if not, I´d be piecing triangles .

well, golly and gee whiz, ligia, I sure am glad that your doorman's wife finally pinched his butt and made him give you your package!
You could have moved and he would have kept it.:thumbdown:
Tri-aangles...sounds purty...you gonna show us a pic when you get done?
I am not going to make any new year's resolutions, but, I am going to get more WIP's done in the coming year.
I am almost thru cleaning my sew-cave, so I can get back to my machine. woootie hoo! I might make some new potholders. IF'N...i do, i'll post a pic!

Jingle bells, and jungle bells,
Santa's on his way,
To all board members
Who joined the swap
And stay good until THE da-ay! :mrgreen:

Terri's baby is having twins,
Oh what joy, what cheer,
Will she open her box before or after,
Or maybe just crack open a beer? (root beer, that is :lol: )

We're counting down to dive in our box,
The heat is on, maybe need some locks,
People itching, fingers twitching
But they must remember too...
If they are bad and Santa sees,
At Christmas they'll be blue! :lol:

I am so very sorry for your daughter and you, Your burden is very rough, I will keep you and your family in my every prayer, please over look my last printing. May God help you to copewith your problems. xxxooo,

My package is very good. No sound at all. Went to 4H meeting ,supper and caroling with my son Brandan yesterday. Decorated the tree yesterday. Made doll quilt with granddaughter Kallie saturday. Went to Christmas concert at school today. Need to clean sewing room tonight. My granddaughter Kallie made a Christmas stocking today after the concert. Kallie likes to sew everytime she come to my house. If it isn't sewing it's baking. Last weekend we bake. She doesn't like grandpa very much because he gets after her because she makes a mess. It's just easier to clean up after her.

Well it is just days till the 13th, and still no package here.

Truepeach -
I hear you. Three years ago on the 19th of Dec. my son skidded off the road, down an embankment and totatled his brand new truck that he had only had for 6 months. He was sighted for a DUI. I was so upset, you cannot imagine all the things that went through my head. I had to keep telling myself that he was okay, it was on a vehicle. He has paid dearly for his mistake in insurance, fines and etc. He has done a lot of growing up since then and we are much closer as a family.

Thanks heavens everyone is okay and do have a Merry Christmas.

We are all here for you.

Well...don't ya' know that sometimes the same tune is a very different song! .....Like...Jingle bells, jingle bells....could be Jingle bells...hot dog smells....santa laid an egg... Now see??? Thats just not very christmasy!

And the UK has that song "Greensleeves" that we in the US sing as a totally different song..(I just can't remember it right now)...

I'm worried about your box!

Mousie...its good to see you back up and rhyming! :lol:

Jerrie - are you home from the hospital? I hope so!
gifts are opened on the 13th, and the times are posted a few pages back. I'll try to find it and post again.

Ok, it seems as if Santa's Elves are busy, busy busy!!
Mailman comes to my mailbox beeping his horn. I run out and he has a package. FOR ME? WOOHOO!! Of course it's for me! Who else would it be for. It is after all, my birthday in the states!
So, I bring it in the house to examine it. It's from Santa's Elves. Hmmm.....on it, it says I can open immediately! WOOHOO!!!
Here's what I find!

:shock: :?: :shock:

Let's try again!

See the shirt?
Here's a closeup.
It's just too cute and these elves...whoever they are......THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

How GREAT is that ? And now you have your official shirt to wear on opening day 8-)
THANK YOU elves

Oh my gosh, that is too cute! The things you can do with an embroidery machine.

Way to go Santa's Elf/Elves whoever you are.

I'm just in awe. Honest!!!
Pretty much speechless and that's a hard thing for me...hard to leave me speechless!

That shirt is too cute and the gifts are awesome!!!!
Count down to the 13th :D

wootie hoo hoo!!!! YAY, Terri!!!
somebody wunnerful sent you some wunnerfuls...and that shirt is just the berries!
awww...I have an idea, but wouldn't want to speculate...hee hee hee!
hugs to you, special firmy sender who owns an embroidery machine and is very talented, and loves Terri very mush,lol!:)

Oh, I have my suspicions who is/was involved with this, but that's ok....I love them all!

Oh my goodness you gotta love that shirt!!! LOL That's gorgeous!

And we're ahead of you guys... so when it's the 13th here, you'll still be on the 12th!

Terri!! :thumbup: That's a wonderful shirt & all of those lovely gifts, too. You certainly deserve to recieve all of these lovely things!! Enjoy!! :D :D :D :D

I don't know if I actually deserve them, but I'm gonna keep em! lol

I love that shirt. Enjoy all your gifts Happy Birthday.

Terri what a great surprise. You deserve it. But, you speechless, we don't think so. :lol: :lol: :lol: Enjoy. Great work santa's other elves. That was a really nice thing to do.

Ok my SS was SO nice and sent me a second little package!! But I was SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOO mad!! :evil: :evil: The poor little box was VIOLATED by the PO!! they opened it up and taped it back together with a letter on the outside stating that my pkg was open for inspection!!!!!!!!! So they looked through MY present and then taped it up all crazy!! Did anyone else get this!!


Well when I got home from school I showed DH and he couldn't believe it!! so looking closer there was a gap in the taping! so luckily my pkg didn't get wet or it would have been soaked through! Dh decided to open it up to check, he was very upset because he knew that my SS wouldn't just SHOVE all the stuff inside the box. Inside was another letter about the contents being looked through!He was sure that when it was sent that is was carefully wrapped with kindness just for me!!!! Sorry SS :-( he did keep the note from me so I still don't know who it is from!!! I got a small nativity candle holder wrapped in X-mas fabric that was all crumpled up :evil: but anyway I loved my gift and just glad that it was not broken or I would have went crazy :shock:

SS- so sorry I opened, well DH opened :wink:

Terri, your shirt is simply adorable! Your gifts are well deserved! Thanks for hostessing this swap!

TruPeach, I am truly sorry for your troubles this year. It is so very saddening to know there are horrible people in this world to have hurt your daughter in this way. Grateful your son didn't get hurt! Your family will be in my prayers.

The UPS man brought me 2 YES 2 packages yesterday from Lake City, FL....now it is going to be impossible for me to stare at 2 TWO boxes for 6 days....boy is my SS really tricky, 2 boxes can ya believe it...I know she sent some FL weather north to Michigan cuz she knew I really needed it.
