I have a question!

Do you have a computer that can accommodate a stick?

Come on SS . . . bite.

I sent a stick to my SS last year with all the patterns I accumulated over the year. It had quilts, table runners, mug rugs, etc. I'm thinking about it again this year.

KAT

WHO ever gets Cindy's name..............PLEASE send her some CHOCOLATE CANDY............PLEASE!! :D
Last year I had her name & completely forgot to send some candy in her package. She told me that her Grandson helped her open her package & the first thing that he said was, "What NO CANDY"!! :D Boy, did I ever mess up!!
:D :D :D :D

If you like chocolate, do you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, of dark chocolate?- Milk chocolate and white chocolate must be sugar free

What are your favorite fabric colors? Purple- reds and purple and yellow


What are your favorite non-fabric colors? green


Would you enjoy receiving sewing notions, such as seam rippers, small rulers, etc.? rulers, like all different kinds. small seam rippers, thread, quilting pins, i would love a pair of good snips,

Would you enjoy receiving quilt patterns or books? If so, give examples of what you don't already have. I love patterns except paper pieced, bargellos are a favorite


Would you enjoy receiving a regional T-shirt? If so yes 4xl sorry i am a big lady



Would you enjoy receiving socks? yes funky socks

Please list any other items, you'd be happy to find in your SS package, I'll be more than happy with what I receive.

That is an AWESOME idea !!! I may just have to borrow it !! I save all my patterns on a stick , and my OCD requires them all to be sorted by size and designer hahaha !

I obviously need a nap because I couldn't figure out WHAT the heck a stick (shift) had to do with a computer! :p Luckily, my brain eventually kicked in and I realized you mean a memory stick! :D

Okay, my computer can accommodate CDs/DVDs, anything USB, SDs, as well as whatever goes with these other slots. It's too dark to read them, so I took a picture. :D

I do! Even if your SS doesn't, unless they live in the middle of nowhere, chances are there is a computer they can have access to to look at/print!

ArizonaKat......I can take a stick! HeHe......off to the hole with me. Will bring some homemade vegetable soup so all drinkers can sober up a little (sorry PenniF...its got lima beans in it).

Hi AirzonaKAT, yes I have several U SB slots so will be able to accommodate a stick.

As someone else said, that is a really good idea.

Tons and tons of great ideas to go into the box!

Sticks and stones may break my bones
but thumb drives bring it on home

Thanks Quercus

Ok, time to start the teasing to see
If my Santaee can guess it is me.

Crystal ball, crystal ball, of old time lore
Tell me about HER some more

Could there be a cat in the house
To chase a mouse

IrishGal, I would love to try some hard cider with you; have always wondered exactly what that is like. If you find some, I'll join you in the hole!

Just have to tell you all something funny that happened today. I think a lot of the newbies here -- and maybe some repeat SSers don't really "get" the concept of the hole. I posted earlier today that I was headed there to kick my feet up with a mimosa. So what was I really doing during that time? Cleaning the bathrooms! There I was with the brush in my hand scrubbing the bowl thinking how glad I was that I could at least be enjoying my virtual mimosa at that moment. The hole is all in good fun with no calories, no hangovers, and lots of great company; you can't beat that!

My computer can also accommodate a wish list. What a great idea!

I was inspired to do the same thing. It just feels to weird to list out all of my "hearts' desires" on this thread. Perhaps, telling a little about myself will give my gifter a sense of who I am......or, maybe not.

I've decided to just be thrilled with whatever comes my way. Y'know?

no no no no no no no.........please say it ain't so !!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I added quite a bit of info about my likes/dislikes and such.
But in the spirit of what everyone else seems to be doing I filled in the
"extra" list that was posted here.
So here goes my additional info.


If you like chocolate, do you prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, or
dark chocolate?
I LOVE dark & milk chocolate. I do NOT like white chocolate at all.

that leaves out the yummy stuff.

olive/drab green, 30’s-50’s era prints (and repos of them), dull,
“muddy” colors such as the civil war era repo style.
