I see I'm not the only early riser....I live in the country, so nice and quiet, sitting on the porch drinking coffee, waiting for the sun. My favorite time of day. I have company, 3 cats, hissing at each other, wanting in my lap, or bring me their prize, that they caught during the night.
I have my box ready to mail.....but I'm going to be nice and wait until closer to the mailing date, which is the 14th of November, surely we wont have to wait until Dec 1st to open our present.....as you can see I'm excited..only gift to open for Christmas, my family lives in AR, to many of us to exchange gifts and DH and I go on a trip every year. |
Don't know when opening day is going to be, but it's usually around the 1st to 2d week of December.
It's a consensus from everyone as to when opening day will be. |
Thanks, tirnhi, at least I know about when its going to be...I want to Thank You for doing this swap, its so much fun and everybody seems very nice. My vote for the "Best swap"

As for all the beautiful fabric, slightly used quilt supplies,apron and antique tea cup I want it all. I would be thrilled with anything. Here's a snake story for you. My great great grandmother was working in her garden and watching her granddaughter when she saw a big snake slithering up toward her granddaughter. She ran grabbing up the baby and hacking at the snake with her hoe cutting the snakes head off. Turns out the circus was setting up in the field behind her house and the boa constrictor escaped. It took six men and grannie to hold up the headless snake for a photo. Of course grannie doesn't really count because she is only using one hand, her other hand is raised in the air hold her hoe aloft like the warrior princess that she was! The circus wasn't to pleased with grannie but they did give her tickets for the show but grannie was a no show at the circus . Lol |

Tell you what happen when I can think better. Not life threatning.

Boy, let a girl take a day off to go to the quilt show & then spend 2 hours catching up on the thread! Geez!!
The guild I belong to is having our annual quilt show this weekend. Good news!! I entered 5 quilts & 2 challenge blocks. They're coming home with 8 ribbons!! WOOHOO!!! I'm already working on 2 new ones for next year! But, they're going to the bigger & badder show first! I've seen some hints that could be me! I'm doing mystery train ride #7, so that could be me. Texas is known for their rattlesnakes, so that could be it. I wonder.......!! My hint? You don't live far from your state capitol! |

Surely just sharing our wishes for more info, can't be considered rude! |

hello everyone. I didn't realize we were giving hints of who we have for ss. I'm going to have to think about this for a bit. Knowing me I'll say something that will give it away! I think I'm done with my s.s. box and then I come with something else. So decided I'm not going to close the box again until Nov. 1. Who knows how much more I'll add. This has been so much fun. Have a great weekend.
|
You do not have to give any hints of any kind as to who your person is.
Remember...your hint just could give you away. Last year, there were a bunch that had figured out who their person was just by the hints. |

My special order has arrived, hope my giftee likes it, I have had to use a little detective work to think of something. I have a gift to make and then hope to get it into the post Monday or Tuesday. It has a long way to go so want to make sure it is there in plenty of time for the reveal.

Thanks every one for your prayers for my husband and I.The cancer has come back and has spread now to his bones.he's been on a new medicin (very expensive) but I can't see that it's helped any.It's in God's hands.
|
I love this, what a cute idea.
|
how cute this is. Wouldn't this be a fun project.
|
I received my Secret Santa pkg. on Friday - and I had put it in my closet, way in the back, so that I wouldn't be tempted. There is no way I could look at the box every day for a month and a half. I'm weak, very very weak when it comes to gifts.
|
I went shopping using the rest of the $20 last night & also got the 4 fat quarters...so the box is now ready to start wrapping next week. I have this feeling there will more fabric than just the 4 fat quarters in her box...I'm doing some stash sorting......................:) As she didn't really list any favorite colors; I'm going to have fun!:p

Was wondering about that cute idea myself???
grammyj, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I can truly relate to what you are going through, it's been the same kind of weeks for me and they are certainly not easy. All we can do is leave it to our higher power and know there is a reason. |
Just googled my SS giftee's home town.... I thought I lived in a small town....
|
When I go back to Arkansas, for visiting family.....I drive thru my SS town..
|
Very sorry to hear about your husband, grammyj. Take care of yourself, too. As caregiver you bear a lot of stress. Praying for both of you!
|
So very sorry, grammyj.

Well, I'm finally caught up on the thread. Been a quiet weekend. My prayers for all with losses, illness and life challanges.
I did get by Rosie's on Friday when they have FQs on sale and picked up 11, so now which ones will go in the box and which will I keep?????? Still have some shopping to do for my giftee and looking through the box of extra treasures that I think will be liked. Here is a hint, she collects fabric......Ha, don't we all? |
OMG!!! Still no correct answer!
What am I going to do with you ladies! That's it....all ya'll in the hole!! You now have about 2 hours to get your answers in. Yes, you can have more than 1 guess....... But, only 1 guess per PM |
GrammyJ, I've added my prayers to those of others. God grant you peace and strength. Healing to your DH.
|
201 is my guess
