Hi all! Been catching up on the posts since I've not been here due to work and health. But I'm ok! Ok so my SP package went out today, heading up North that I can deliver it myself its about 3 hrs and 15 mins. away from me! Your zip adds up to 22.

One of my two pals should have her package today......

Vanogay 09-10-2012 05:01 PM

I'm starting to stalk the mailman again. Waiting, waiting...SP where are you? Even had the maple syrup ready, just in case.

Beeboop71 09-10-2012 05:03 PM

On the road driving from Indiana back to NY. What a lovely state. We loved it and camping was fun. Went to only two LQS, just not enough time. I did buy two fat quarters for my SP. Will work hard to get her package ready for shipment. Haven't figured out who my SP is. Maybe there is a package waiting for me when I get home. :)

Buslady loves them. Especially made of clay.

verna2197 09-10-2012 05:15 PM

My SPs packages should have been delivered today. I am out of town for a few days so I sure hope you got them and like them.

Krystyna 09-10-2012 05:18 PM

My SP received her package today. IF I have an SP which I'm not saying I do. BUT I will tell you this much: I sent her some rocks. And she ate all the pancakes so there will be no photos of them.

TheMamaHauser 09-10-2012 06:26 PM

My SP's gifts arrived from Amazon today... so (hopefully) her box will get out in the mail by tomorrow afternoon.

Whooooooo could it be?

This can't be Brenda.............it has to be me......my zip adds to 13 and I live in a state bordering Lake Erie. It matches up perfectly!!!!!!!!!! Now I just have to wait to see if I'm right!

brenda21 09-10-2012 06:40 PM

I'm not bordering any great lakes....

jaba 09-10-2012 06:59 PM

I have not found a hint that is even close to me, maybe someone is just doing it purpose so I can't guess. My SP received hers and says she's waiting for camera to charge to post. I'm waiting for 1 to arrive , so I guess I better plug the camera in and make sure it's ready. Been using it alot lately, posting all the boomerang blocks going in and out of this house. Maybe tomorrow....

Lori Peercy 09-10-2012 07:02 PM

Don't forget to let me know when you mail and you get you packages!!!!!! Someone forgot! Lori

SharonAnne 09-10-2012 07:03 PM

I was going to write some clues, but the Antiques Roadshow episode from San Jose just came on tv, so I will have to do this later. Sorry.

marytoddliz 09-10-2012 07:49 PM

My SP sent me a quick note to say she got the package, but is heading out of town, that has got to be tough going on a vacation and not being able to play with Fabric! :o my SP was Shamrock, the other package we are still waiting to hear!:o

I am waiting for my package to arrive! i get so excited about going to the mail any more! My zip is 22! so go ahead and post a clue... :o I am ready for you! I like Jam, I saw someone say they were making it, thought I would just throw that in!

OK all my Booms are done, Doll Quilt is done for month, squares are all cut and sent... Well heck I guess I better go tackle a UFO~ You know they are UFO's for a reason, they lost their sparkle... maybe we should swap UFO's, how about it any one want to trade projects?

marytoddliz 09-10-2012 09:39 PM

OH, how cute, I love them! I actually have a gnome village in my yard! They keep watch over all the garden fairies, and make sure things run smooth at night while we sleep!

Anastasia 09-10-2012 09:46 PM

Well good.. at least someone appreciates the poor defenseless little gnomes :) I love gnomes. My bf has decreed that I must make him a set of those with cowboys jerseys. omg.

quiltnut4ever 09-11-2012 03:37 AM

Good morning all! Many packages sent out and all waiting that is great! Mailed my SP package yesterday and hopefully will receive it by tomorrow. Everyone have a great day!

joejoe31 09-11-2012 04:02 AM

Sp no despair please. I have found almost all just waiting for my check and it will be out.....I hope today if not for sure tomorrow.Oh and i love pink fabric....>> Miss you all .

lauriejo 09-11-2012 04:16 AM

Oh Anastasia those gnomies are cute! To my SP, your squishy is on its way, but it does have a verrry long trip so it won't be there right away. Please be patient.

Krystyna 09-11-2012 04:19 AM

Anastasia, they are adorable!

SharonAnne 09-11-2012 05:27 AM

Well, I fell asleep and did not get my clues posted as promised. Package should be ready to mail on Thursday, barely a moment too soon for the deadline, huh? Did I mention it is going to the state I grew up in (no, not the state of confusion)? And did I say that my pal is not fond of witches and goblins? Perhaps I told you already that SP has a lot of crafting interests. Googling SP's town - from the looks of it, it is country living. And now I'm off to get ready for another work day. Hopefully sewing something for SP after work tonight.

SharonAnne 09-11-2012 05:28 AM

But not before I tell Anastasia I love those gnomes. Very huggable little guys.

brenda21 09-11-2012 07:26 AM

OMG Anastasia- those ARE cute...they look nothing like what I think of when I hear the word gnome...you did an awesome job on them!!!

Lori Peercy 09-11-2012 08:10 AM

Love the gnomes, like brenda said not what I was thinking either but darling!

FELL ASLEEP!!! During Antiques Road show!!!?? Must not have been very good. LOL

buslady 09-11-2012 09:24 AM

Speaking of Gnomes, and at the risk of sounding old; does anyone remember trolls? Florescent orange, green, yellow and rainbow hair. Stood striaght up. Man I loved those guys!

Krystyna 09-11-2012 09:37 AM

Is the Atlantic Ocean a Great Lake?

brenda21 09-11-2012 09:56 AM

Buslady~I had trolls when I was a kid and then they kind of made a comeback when my boys were little and they had some! I think I still have one that's about an inch tall haha
Krystyna~ah, no....not a great lake...but nice try....

My second secret pal's box should be ready tomorrow for mailing....you are going to be the recipient (read as guinea pig) for a few new projects that I've been playing around with!

fayzer 09-11-2012 10:23 AM

My pals package went out in the mail today! It does not have to go very far up the east side of the US. You live near the middle of your state. Your state is famous for sipping whiskey.

Anastasia 09-11-2012 10:23 AM

I love treasure trolls! I used to have quite a few, where do these things from your childhood wander off to?! I have been wanting to obtain a new collection but they're so darned expensive and Im kinda picky on the ones I want. We used to have a store in the MOA that sold tons of trolls. I'm hoping to finish the last 2 things for my secret pal today or tomorrow and get that out.. can't go out til wed anyways cause I don't get paid til then so..

Kelly, fabric will be coming tomorrow. i finally cut those since we got the name of the late comer in our group

marytoddliz 09-11-2012 11:51 AM

I love Trolls, I still have a few, I think they were my Daughters, but not sure, I also have her Cabbage patch doll and her Strawberry Short Cake, with lemon Tart Dolls. She also has a collection of Victorian Dolls. They are in the box in our Basement~ I think I should take them to her when I go to Seattle next month and have her give them to her daughter! Hummm I wonder how much that would cost, that would be a lot of extra baggage to check. Really what I should do is sell them and pay for my trip to Seattle~ Now that is a really good idea!

Heading to the PO in a few hours, I only ran 6 miles this morning, I have to get some more Fabric cut and in the mail for the Purple Passion Exchange!

Anastasia 09-11-2012 12:47 PM

I'll just leave this here for anyone that wants to look. I suppose I should go finish the other thing I'm trying to make
