I did not use my return address on the label because they might narrow it down. I used my daughters address in a big city. I know my bows are getting crushed as we speek. I shoved all I could to get it all in one of those if it fits, it ships.
You could buy a couple yds of fabric for what shipping cost now days. We should plan on all meeting in the middle of US states and exchange gifts there. I forgot to sign my letter after I printed it on computer. I hope the chocolate does not melt. HO Ho Ho! Santa secret's on its way.

Suz: I feel your pain. This is my first year doing this and I didn't specify if I cared if my SS was State-Side or OverSeas. Postage was a shocker! But still worth it.

I like the idea of a "round robin" so to speak. No one would like to come to Wisconsin in Winter unless they like sleet, snow and ice. I don't mind. Hubby goes snowmobiling, and I stay in front of the fire and quilt. Score!

Well, I have all my pieces and parts wrapped and packaged, ready to mail. Shipping tomorrow. Sure was fun. Now just have to wait for opening day for my SS to open her package.

I've stalked my santee, made a list and searching shops "down south" . I hope to get lots of stuff and will wrap it all when I get back home and mail it then.

I'm having a party.....a pity party and your all invited,....to help cheer me up. I found out this week that I will have to have reconstructive foot surgery on Monday Nov 14th. I will then be NON weight bearing for 6-8 weeks!!!!!! Then on a boot / cast for 6-8 weeks after that! so glad I enjoy handwork huh???

What's bad, is I had this same surgery in Feb of this year, but after 9 months the bones have only fused 25%! So this time, I have to have 3 bigger screws put in, he will then draw bone marrow from my hip and make a 'joint compound' (if you will) and put it between the joints to help them fuse. Please join me in prayer that this time it will fuse together as it's supposed to. Thank you.

OMG! I am so sorry for you and what you have been going thru. I had my ACL replaced with a cadaver part about 16 years ago and it was months and months of recovery and therapy. Please take care of yourself...many prayers coming your way!
