Hey gals,

Just a little FYI, There are no calories in the hole. Best place I ever visited!

Wine is so nice but opening a bottle always turns into an aerobic event. Lol it doesn't stop me from drinking it.

Having fun shopping and stalking the board for ideas from my little place in the world!

Hi everyone....sorry, I've been on vacation for 3 weeks and just now logging on. I answered in a previous post just a few minutes ago and discovered more questions, so I'll answer this next batch to help my Secret Santa............




Do you like the Clover binding clips? - haven't used them - but would like to try them
Do you like/use zippers? No - don't need them
Do you like Christmas fabrics? Yes
Do you have a Keurig brewer? No
If YES do you have a favorite flavor/kind of coffee, tea or hot chocolate?


Do you like sewing/quilting notions (in general) such as seam rippers, etc... probably stocked up good with them unless it's a really new product (like Clover clips)
Do you like/want magazines and/or books (sewing/quilting)? subscribe to Fons & Porter, Better Homes & Garden American Patchwork & Quilting
Do you like/want/need quilting rulers? (shapes/sizes) - I'm good with what I have right now - no new needs


Do you like hand lotion? a special brand/kind? I'm a hand lotion junkie...always searching for the most hydrating one - I like the ones quilt stores sell - also like the black & white "udder cream"

Do you like Bath & Body Works products? I like them, but for some reason they give me a headache


Do you like/use graph paper (for quilt designing)? No - don't use
Do you like the Clover Yo-Yo makers? No - don't use
How about the Clover Kanzashi Flower Makers? No - don't use
Do you like using yo-yo's (already made) in your projects? No - don't use

Additional information:

I like to read, but don't own a kindle - I like inspirational, spiritual, motivational, suspense, Sci-Fi, Mystery, self-improvement books......don't like romance novels.

I'll try to catch up to today's postings and answer any other questions..........have fun everyone! ! !

They sell tote bags, etc. I know it's not everybody's thing, but do you think most people would like it? It would be the $20 gift, and I would fill it with goodies. I like the idea of helping struggling working women get out of poverty. Good idea, or bad idea? Would you guys like something like this if you were the recipient?

i would love to receive the tote. It is beautiful.

No gymnastics in the hole, we have an electric bottle opener just hold the button. Good for when it gets dark, or a little tyspy. :eek:

Leesewzany, I've enjoyed your posts here and will miss you. I would never dream of receiving a gift and not thanking the giver. As the giver, it's not that I expect a thank you, but it's wonderful to know that the recipient liked the gift or, at the very least, that they appreciated the thought and effort that went into it. But as they say "it is what it is" and nothing is required of any participant here beyond signing up and sending a package.

Yahoo one of the gifts I ordered for my SS gift arrived, so pretty. Sewed up a little surprise for her and it turned out so cute, tried to make a similar one for my friend and Grrrr nothing went right on it. Totally frustrating
