Yes, both this Jim Shore AND my unknown Fuzzy angel!

I received a very pretty card in the mail yesterday. Lots of flowers, gave me hope for spring's arrival. It is so nice to be reminded that you are thinking of me. Thank you Angel. You are the best.

Truepeach, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY, I AM SURE THE FLOWERS ARE BEAUTIFUL, YOU HAVE A SUPER SQA , GOD BLESS YOU DEAR ONE.SORRY i AM A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE.

Happy belated birthday to Truepeach....
I received a pkg from my SQA yesterday...It was a box of Stash Pepperment Tea wraped in the cutest shamrock FQ. Thank you so much SQA....I love tea...Still no camera, so still no pictures....Sorry.......

My Angelee will be receiving a package in a few days!!!!! Hope she likes it! :^)

I received a surprise in my mailbox this morning...A REDBOOK magazine, WITH MY NAME ON IT ! wow, i never subscribed to this...how could this be...my only guess???must be from an ANGEL!!! at least i hope that's where it came from,,i really don't have any other guesses...hmmmmm
anyway, I don't think i've ever sat down and read a REDBOOK so it will all be fresh and new for me and give me something besides quilt books to read in the wee hours at work :) so, hoping my thank you is going where it should and this is not more of a mystery, i'm just going to take it for granted and say
THANK YOU , YOU ARE A VERY THOUGHTFUL ANGEL :)

I came home the working at a quilt shop today,and there was a gift. Thank you secret angel :).
I will try to post later.I can't find my camera,it is in a bunch of stuff from the quilting retreat I was on last weekend.
Okay this is what I got. A golden angel ornament, a
St. Patricks pattern that makes a wall hanging with a fabric panel to go with it. Again thanks, you are so great. hugs Donna

Happy Birthday yesterday Peach.....sorry I missed it. Did not get on here for last few days, been working overtime alot lately. I have been depressed cause I got a box from my Angel Xmas but did not get one for my birthday in January or Secret Pal day nor Valentines day but when I get on here and see what everyone is getting and how happy it makes them, it cheers me up and makes me feel good inside. I sent my Angelee three packages so far and she really like them so I am happy. Gotta get started on her March box and get it off. Got some stuff already but not all of it. Happy March a few days late everyone!!!

Thanks Sandy
Did you PM Kwhite and tell her you haven't received anything from your SQA since Christmas? If you didn't you should. I am sorry your angel has not sent you any more pressies especially for your birthday, when was it? If they decided not to do it or can't for some reason they should let Kwhite know so she could make other arrangments. I am sure they are getting pressies from their SQA. I don't know where some peoples manners are. :( :( :( :( :(

I know she was working on cleaning it up, so it was fair for everyone ! I think it stinks that some are not playing fair :hunf: I love my Angel and enjoy what she sends :lol:

i also love my angel and do so enjoy shopping for my angelee that is half the funa d those not giving totheir angelee are really missing out

Yep I got just one in Jan..it is depressing...no valentine I think I have sent out about 5. I still come here every day and check out everyones goodies and that makes me smile

But it's FUN to be an angel. It's FUN to gather up goodies, it's FUN to be secret. It's FUN to have them post their reaction. I have a FUNtastic angel, and my angelee is super. I really appreciate the photos she posts.

I'm right there with ya Knot Sew.

That is so sad........

KWHITE............whoever is the Angel for the people who are not sending to gramqults, ifw045 and knot sew or any others should no longer send to the people who aren't playing fair and they should now send to gramqlts and knot sew and whoever else. If these so called angels are receiving cards and pressies and not fulfilling their commitment why should they keep getting stuff. The excuse of life getting in the way is hog wash. Most of you know my situation and I have yet to not send something every few weeks to my Angelee. I am not patting myself on the back but fair is fair and they are not being fair. They are taking advantage and they are not Angels in my book they are :evil: :evil: :evil: you know who you are did you sign up just to get free stuff and are heartless when it comes to the person you are suppose to send to. Unless YOU have died since sign up there is NO excuse for your behavior. Receiving gifts knowing you are not sending is no different then stealing. These 3 wonderful woman who have not been receiving anything in months do not deserve to be treated this way. They are so very helpful on the board and I have gotten to know one on a personal level, just remember whoever you are you have made these ladies SAD, can you live with that.

I am sure I will get my hand slapped for this by admin but this is just pissing me off.

GO...PEACH !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not mean to upset everyone. My birthday was in January and I figured my birthday present and valentine would come together as someone else's did who had a January birthday but that did not work either. I do so love shopping for my angelee and sending her stuff and you know what they say "it is better to give than receive". I also get so much pleasure out of seeing everyone's pics and reading what they got. I still am going to try to figure out how to post pics since I never have. My daughter gave me a printer with a scanner on it and Chrickette gave me a digital camera so I'm on my way to getting there. I love you all anyway!!!!! Don't anyone get their panties in a wad cause I'm good with God and thats all that matters in my books!!!

Any I love you Peach....calm down.....don't want you to stroke out! LOL

TO:
gramqlts....lfw045.....knotsew.....and any other angelees..........

Hi Angelees
I am not your Angel but just thought that I would send along a happy note.

We are all hoping that your angel starts soon to get in touch with you but until then, know that all of us "other angels" have good thoughts for you.

Remember you are special and you will be rewarded.

Take care ....MaryJane

I was talking to someone (I really don't remember who) about the SQA thing and they stated "I thought it was just major holidays and small things....I (as a lot of us) live on a small fixed income...that is why I am creative... I've often not even been able to afford a store bought card.... I have crayolas and copy paper...whala... pretty original card... cost = $0000.00.
can't afford $2.00 for a FQ... choose from your stash, cut 1/2 yard ... again whala ... nice gift in homemade card = $000.00... can't count cost of fabric from stash. ;D the Bottom Line is you DON'T have to spend $100/mo or even $2.00/mo. to let your secret person know they are being thought of.
That's my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

DITTO!!!!!!!!!!! And as for fixed incomes as of right now we are looking at over a million yes a million $ in doctors and meds for DD I live on an income $5,000.00 below poverty level in the state of Ohio and now their are 2 of us living on that, not that that is anyones business but it is just to make a point. You don't have to spend a lot it is just nice to know someone is thinking of you. It is spring send a pack of flower seeds they are around 5 pks for $1 in the dollar store, make a potholder. Send a postcard postage is cheaper then a letter. DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING BUT DON"T IGNORE YOUR ANGELEE. And I have said this before it they are receiving pressies then regift what they received if they are short of money and send it to their Angelee.

IF I HAVEN"T STROKED OUT YET IT AINT HAPPENING!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love you too!!!!!!!!!!

Good ideas! You can also use some of that stash and make a square, pin cushion, tote, find a free pattern on line and send some fabric from your stash so they can make it. Remember it is the thought that counts. Be creative. They will love it. I know I would.

Leota...you are so right...Lord knows I have enough fabric in my stash to send every member of the SQA a fat quarter and still be covered up with fabric! I was reading on some one's post that her mother walks around behind her when she goes in to her sewing room to make sure she doesn't take anything. My two daughters and their friends just help themselves at will and I just smile thinking....another generation of quilters in the making. Makes my heart sing!!!! They even come over and pull stuff out and use what they want while I am at work and show me their great projects later. Heck, it's just fabric and some of it is bound to dry rot before I use it all. I have good intentions when I buy stuff and lots of ideas for it...just not enough time to make it all up. I live on a limited income to but God always leads me to great sales and it just means I cook and take leftovers to work instead of eating out alot like some of the other girls at work. Not to brag but I am a GREAT cook. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you...lol. And if you saw my roley poley little squatty fat self you would see how much I enjoy my cooking!!!! HA HA

:lol: :lol:

I feel blessed just to know you ladies on this message board. You are all sweethearts and I appreciate what you all are doing. Yes handmade, homemade, just a "thinking of you" on a piece of paper is all it takes. Thank you MaryJane and all!

My mother and I both think like you about the fabric.... if we haven't made up within the past 10 years... it's up for grabs.

You are so right girl.
Catlady

I LOVE some of the ideas floating around here! Some of the Angels are sending a block a month to their Angelee, I think I saw where some are sending directions and/or FQ's to their Angelees to make their own BOM project. I think I even saw someone say their Angel is doing some kind of mystery quilt thing ... those kinds of things don't have to cost a lot of $$.

Now, my Angel has sent me 2 packages, one in Jan. and one in Feb. That's perfect for me; it keeps me excited to open the mailbox, but I don't feel a ton of pressure to "Keep up with the Joneses".

Life is good, ladies, let's not stress out, but let's try to keep up with our promises to take care of our Angelees. A quick note just to say "hey there, how ya doin'?" goes a long way.

And watch out Angelees.......I'm sending out a package in the next couple of days, so someone is bound to be happy real soon!

Odessa

Send it to me!! Whether I am supposed to get it or not, I would be HAPPY to recieve! lol

Well...I'm getting another package ready to go..I just love putting things together :lol:

I have a new address for my secret angel..
75 Watling Way
Columbus, MS 39705

Is it coming my way? lol
