I love my purple thang also! A wooden shish kabob stick with one end broke off and covered so it is the right length and not sharp works ok too....for a while Arizona girl, because just like someone said you know you will find it as soon as you buy another one.

A chop stick... cut the end of an old toothbrush off, a toothpick, or just a tapestry needle, they have blunt ends, I mostly use the pin that I've just removed. Lots of things you can use.

I grab one of my hair chop sticks and am using it for now. I can't believe I lost my purple thang. I've had it for almost 6 years and never lost it. I always keep it by my machine and never use it anywhere else. Those darn gremlins are at it again.

You will find it as soon as you go buy another one.

I know, that's why I refuse to buy another one. I will just make due until it decides to come back.

Its amazing how one little misheard word can completely throw a child off or change an image for them. LOL!! He goes: Oh...then paused. then went: she's camping with OLD ladies?? LOL!!

We just started laughing! He probably thought his Grandma was sitting around a campfire with a "bunch of old ladies".

But with the weather starting to cold again, we shall see what happens...

More great packages! Thanks all for sharing.

I am intrigued about the homemade vanilla extract...peaceandjoy, how do you do that?

Soniboo, where did you get that big orange floral? I think I have it in green (a FQ) at home, but surely if I saw that orange I would have bought it.LOL. Do you know who makes them?

Lori,
Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Is Faye the only Floridian who got her package?? Well,technically I got one too- I think- but can't touch it until next week, of course I am going to be wishing my life away until then :mrgreen: oh never mind, I see that Crafty Darlene and Moortll have got their packages too.
