Sounds like Gwynne won't be posting partners for a few days. Seems she has other stuff to do that doesn't include us The nerve of her

Because we can do a couple "buy" items in this swap, while we wait it might be a good time to update our MQ's. I just did mine.

The nerve of her.. I can not believe that she thinks there is some things more important then we are..

Yes it is a good time to update mq's I have to do mine which i will tomorrow.. just went to the lss tonight and got my mini lucky 8 punches and have to play with them ... also got my birdsong paper and of course ordered more things again.. it is pretty bad when she has a page in her order book for just you stuff she has ordered.. but she has all the really good things and what she does not have she orders for me.. which is not always good for my pocketbook. The only good thing is that she is not carry any of the new dies from the other companies yet but she is getting her online store set up and might start.. oh no..

and since we have Kelly on board where oh where is Melody??????? You have to come out and play!!!

I sent Melody an email yesterday, just haven't heard back from her.

So glad Kelley signed up.

wow that was definately needed! I just went and updated my mq! I really hope that whoever ends up creating for me will not hesitate to ask questions! I really don't mind answering questions even if it means answering a hundred questions! I really do not mind! I can never think of exactly what I need to put in my mq that would be helpful to a ss! please please please don't be afraid to ask questions no matter who you are creating for!

thanks for the warning! I am sure that there is still some major arm twisting to be done by a few ladies around here! so you enjoy your class reunion and don't worry about us! as I am sure that we can handle all the arm twisting ourselves!!!

I had to redo my MQ cause of the problems that I had when I changed my email addy! So I have a new MQ location and it is posted under my avatar! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
