Now to answer the question about FQ's or yardage, well I
am flexible either or for me. Its not like I am "hurting" for
either since I have a MASSIVE stash on my own. My FQ's
equals 2 bins (58 qt size) that measure approx. 17"x13"x23"
packed FULL and started on a third bin already.
AND I am not even finished with the sorting & refolding of
all the fabric so that it can be moved into the fabric room.

Guess what I did today?

I went and did some "shopping" for a few items to stuff
in the box for my SP once I get the name. Of course at
the rate I am "buying" I might end up having to use UPS
to do the shipping (just kidding of course).
But I did "stock" pile buying so that I could have some fun
(I hope they will be considered fun at least) for future SP
swaps.

Last but not least my temporary job assignment is over
for now and I hope to be able to frequent the board more
now. But it was fun working at Chipotle Corp Office for two
weeks.

let me preface this by saying this is not a rant or accusation or indictment or fingerpointing or blame game or any of the similar above actions but merely a question. okay now for the question: why is it that there are people who continue to sign up for different swaps but consistently do not follow through or take on so many swaps and later find themselves "surprised" that they cannot keep their commitments due to biting off more than they can chew, yet they continue to keep signing up?

i often wonder if it is just a need to belong and be part of something (in thread posts only) without the "hard" obligation of upholding that commitment. again this is just a question and not an indictment of anyone in this thread or any other.

hangin head in shame...what a wonderful reminder, Krystnya...thank you. Altho I try to remember to do my SP because I know how excited I was to get my first feedback rating...I hadn't thought to honor Lori with the rich, well deserved feedback...just did it!!

For those who are new, go into the user list at the top of your screen, type in lori peercy, look down the list, find where it says feedback, click on it and type something nice!!

For your first attempt you have done a gr8 job. Well done. :0)

No I used the printer paper that it was printed on. Duh I have freezer paper, I could have traced it on that and it probably would have been easier....lol
