    Me too! I was so anxious to get my Santee's package in the mail, I never even thought about wrapping anything. Will make a note to do better next year!

    I had planned on mailing my package out a couple days ago...but the plan changed. Lol. But it will get sent before the deadline. I decided to make a special gift and Im half way finished with it.

    Hint.. is your state upside down or right side up?

    Here is a poem that I had found back in 2009. it was written by
    Judie Bellingham.
    She has updated it since the first time I saw it.

    ENJOY!

    Louise




    [h=1]A Quilters Resolve - Resolutions for 2011[/h]
    It’s that time of year when we all look deep into our navels
    and contemplate the possibilities of the year in front of us.
    As quilters, we are always optimistic for the present and the
    future and this is echoed in our hopes and dreams.

    Throughout my life, I have attempted to set goals for myself
    at the beginning of new times, not only new years, but after
    childbirth, the advent of my children commencing their school
    life and the completion of their school years and the beginning
    of “my time” following their flight from the nest.

    I am somewhat proud to say that I have achieved some of the
    goals I have set, and I think equally proud that I haven’t. It shows
    that I’m human and susceptible to life’s unexpected and unpredictable
    bolts from the blue.

    With 2011 almost upon us, I have written a poem that reflects
    (tongue in cheek) my resolutions for my quilting life in 2011.
    I hope you enjoy it.
    [h=3]A Quilters Resolve
    [/h]
    The holidays are past
    A New Year at last
    Time to resolve my intent for the year
    Twelve months of plans
    To do with my hands
    Achieving goals with good cheer

    My stash it has grown
    In brights, whites and tones
    It’s threatening to overpower.
    I resolve not to splurge
    Ignoring the urge
    Instead, I’ll take a cold shower

    I have purchased some tools
    That state “stress free for fools”
    But are still in their wrapping, ignored
    I resolve to attempt
    To use as they’re meant
    Not simply acquired and then stored

    My library of quilt books
    Not there just for looks
    Lies idle, and I full of guilt
    I resolve to absorb
    All interesting words
    And put them to use in my quilts

    My cottons and threads
    Blue, greens, blacks and reds
    Are a gnarled, knotted mess in the tin
    I resolve to unravel
    Even delay any travel
    Until they’re as neat as a pin

    But what of my projects
    All works in progress
    They await my attention and time
    I resolve to apply
    My keen hand and eye
    And complete them by end of 09

    As long as I’m itching
    I resolve to keep stitching
    Creating heirlooms as I go
    Each available hour
    Within all my power
    I’ll design, quilt, thread, stitch and sew

    SO frustrating. The most important gift for my SSR still has not be shipped to me and the seller has gone mute. She has a great rating, si I will have faith that life got in the way. Large WHINEEEEEEEEEEE! Without this gift, other parts of the package don't make sense! Crossing my fingers it gets here before our mailing deadline! Seems my SSR fancies a designer whose extra special designs can't be found locally.
