I got my Christmas pkg for Ethel I'm so excited 12 days of Christmas. Something to look forward to. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful! I don't know how you do it but it came just in time. The last few days have been so hard for me. My Uncle who I was very close to die suddenly the day after Thanksgiving and each day has been a struggle. I hope you have giving me your name and address so I can thank you with something special because you are a wonderful friend and I would love to stay in touch. Thank you again with all my heart :)

My deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your uncle.

Karie, I'm so sorry about the loss of your uncle..my heart goes out to you and your family.

Katie, Im so sorry to hear about your uncle my prayers are with you. My father in law had a heart attack on Thanksgiving and we almost lost him but he did come back to us for now.Hes 89 and the doctors say its just a matter of time.

with deepest sympothy for the loss of your uncle, God Bless you and may he ease the pain in your heart.

Karie, I'm so sorry about the loss of your uncle..my heart goes out to you and your family...I too lost my favorite uncle suddenly in 2009 to a heart attack I know the pain you are feeling...{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thank you to all of you I have to say you are family to me too. This is a wonderful place. It is my escape from life sometimes.

My wonderful SQA Lula sent me a great package that I received yesterday. There is a beautiful box (12x10x5 inches) and it is filled with all kinds of goodies: 2 boxes of wild tulip bulbs, chocolate nuts candy bar and package of Willy Wonka orange candy, a great quilting magazine (never seen that one before), Christmas cookie recipe book (will definitely try some soon), Chicken Soup for Soul Inspiration Book, all kinds of wonderful fabrics -- just look at this picture! and a Jingle Bear Applique panel. A cute card. I love it all, my dear SQA! Thank you so much. You are the greatest/bestest angel!

I'm looking forward to the reveal on Dec. 16 to learn who she is. I'm going to try to make the chat. I just mailed a priority package to my Angelee this morning (snow storm yesterday meant I couldn't get to the Post Office).

Wow! What a beautiful box of goodies! I'll bet that made staying inside on a snowy day a lot of fun! But bulbs??? How will you plant them in the snow??? Will you force them indoors??? What a thoughtful gift to send ... if you can get them in the ground, you will always have a lovely spring reminder of your Angel and this year of her watching over you! Wish I'd thought of something like that!

My mailman just knocked at the door :shock: WO HOO I got a package :thumbup: Now how many more days til we open ?????***tap***tap***tap*** can't hardly wait -but I will :thumbup: Thanks Rosie it has been a wonderful year :lol:

What a nice package! Love that bulb idea...hmmm...should have thought of that myself!

I have an enormous box sitting on my kitchen counter just waiting to be opened on December 16th! Thanks to my SQA. I am tempted to just peek "a little" but I won't :wink:

What a great package, Puffin. I can hardly wait until the 16th, I hope my angel reveals herself.

Yes, to me more than once, so I am here now after going to my bookmarks and have like 20 pages to go through.

I don't think I will be able to make chat:(

I sent my reveal package:)

Looking forward to knowing my Angel and Angelee:)

I just got my "reveal package" in the mail....now to force myself to wait until Dec 16th!!! Can it be done???? I'm not entirely sure, because my wonderful angel, who tends to be SO VERY GENEROUS has me excited to know what is in this one!! Stay tuned.... ;) :)
Just in case I don't make it to the chat, I want my angel, who I know is from Tennesee, to know that I so appreciate her and everything she's done for me!!

I put mine in my sons bedroom with the box for Secret Santa- son says to me today-- UUHHH Mom your boxes are multiplying :shock: LOL I didn't tell him about the second one :roll:

I won't be able to plant them outside this year; the ground is frozen under the snow. For now I've put them in a heated garage (low to mid 40s) and will research on-line whether I can just hold them over winter or if I should plant them in pots to force them for inside blooms.

I won't be in chat, but I've just seen that my angelee won't be there either.
I've sent out a parcel to my person this week, and I have one last one going out probably on Saturday. I will send xpresspost, and hopefully she will get it within a few days, way before the deadline anyway.
I revealed my real identity in this last parcel, I'm sure she hasn't gotten it yet, but it should be soon.

How come there is a red X under some of the posts?

I had to catch up for several pages, I haven't been notified of new posts.

I don't see any red x's....

they likely have one of those picture signatures and it's not working so you get the red x.

Oh, ok, thanks.

Oh LUCKY ME!! :thumbup: I received my reveal package in today's mail, Wednesday Dec. 2nd. My SQA said I could open it now or wait until the 16th!! I decided to wait along with everyone else, until then!! :D Thank you so much for the reveal package!! I can hardly wait.
:D :D :D :D

Thanks SQA for the e card. Those cookies look good!

I wonder if my angelee got hers yet? I sent it on Monday and this is Friday. No mention of it :(

I have THE BEST angel ever!!

I received a package last night and had no idea who it was from since I had already received my final package from my angel (although I am still waiting until the 16th to open it).

I opened the package and read a beautiful note and lo and behold it was from my angel!!! She said she saw this and thought of me and sent it to me.

I can't wait to make these pillows and put them on our couch!!
My angel knows me so well!!!!

That is the prettiest fabric. I love those penguins.

I love penguins!!! The pillows might just be out all year round instead of just in winter LOL

Oh I love the penguins!

i just love your pegquins,

They sure would make you feel cool in the summer just by looking at them. :-)

got a box...GOT A BOX....yep sure did.....from My Dear Miss Wings...

it is hard to be 52 and not follow the rules....so I shall wait till the open the gift day.....which is the 16th correct????

I AM SO EXCITED....but kinda sad too...as I know that SQA is coming to an end.

WHOEVER IS MISS WINGS....I DO HOPE WE ARE FRIENDS FOREVER.....YOU SEND THE BEST YUMMIES IN THE WORLD!

And whom ever I get next year...I hope to be a better SQA to you....maybe I will be lucky and get you again....and Miss Wings will get me again!

By the way.....MERRY XMAS....MERRY XMAS....SQA SANTA IS COMING!!!!!

Your chocolate trees are making me hungry! They are really beautiful. :thumbup:
