hi all!

According to the dc number my ss should be getting her goodie box from me today as it was out for delivery this am!! praying she likes it!!!

AS for me, last night at work was really rough.. i organized my drawer right before i went on my last break and i came back after someone else had been on my drawer during my break and when I was giving one of the managers the larger $$ from my drawer i noticed there was a $50 in the $20 slot.. the manager didnt say anything. Im praying the drawer wasnt off when they counted it at the end of the night because if it was we all get in trouble. Thing is, I know that it wasnt me that did it!!

Have a great day all!

Evening SS! I have a issue and hoping you all can help me. Joysee's package has been mailed already to her but I am not sure if she will be able to send one in return. I would love if some of us could help angel a package for her. That way she can concentrate on getting better and not worry about swaps. I don't want her sis to go without! If you would like to help me angel goodies to this sis please message me and I will let you know who she is. Thanks for much for your help!

I will need....
A card....
A handmade item....
A snack item....
A ornament....
Some craft items that will add up to the $25-30 amount. Everyone will mail directly to her. Instead of a box of goodies.....she will get multiple goodies in the mailBigGrin !This will need to be done rather quickly. Thanks again for your help!

Good morning ladies. Dropping by before I leave for church, I did not forget to post the photos but I have been crazy busy. Will post after church and DD's concert. So sorry I missed the post about needing people to help with the angel gift, do you still need items? Traci

Good morning everyone!

Rhonda, your tree is beautiful! And so proud of you for starting new family memories!! They aren't meant to replace the old ones, of course, but to continue on with new ones as well! Hugs to you!

Marynne, great pkg you sent Rhonda! Love the paint can, and the card is beautiful! Enjoy it all Rhonda!

Have a great day everyone!

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jingle belling,
And everyone telling you,
"Be of good cheer,"
It's the most wonderful time of the year.

There'll be parties for hosting,
Marshmallows for toasting and
Caroling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories and
Tales of the glories of Christmases
Long, long ago.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoeing
And hearts will be glowing,
When loved ones are near.
It's the most wonderful time of the year

hi all!

Rhonda Im so happy that you loved your box!!! I had fun putting it together!! Mr. Shawn even helped me pick things out for you!! Enjoy the ribbon cutter and everything!!! It was an honor to be your secret santa!!

AS for the paint can.. it was a fun project as it was the first one I have ever done and also the basket was the first one I have ever done also thats what i took the class on.. It was a challenge but so worth it!!

Have a blessed day all! No secret santa gift for me yet but im sure it will be great!

My daughter's concert was amazing. She was chosen to be in an honor band at the local university, just over 400 high school students spent 4 days working with college musicians and directors then had the concert today. Very proud of all the kids that were there, it's amazing to me the level of music they were able to pull together in 4 days since they have never played together.

Rhonda, I am so glad you have a tree. BTW, I cry every year when I put up my tree. This year it was after the tree was up and Olivia had moved onto other things, then I had my cry. I have learned it is OK to acknowledge your feelings during this time, those who love you understand. Those who don't understand are not worth your time. That is an awesome box from MaryAnne enjoy it!

Here are my photos from the box Teri sent me. I forgot to add the card, ornament and the calendar to create. Sorry!

Janice, Madelyn plays the flute and piccolo. She was really funny when we were heading home because she was going on and on about being second to last "chair" in the band (chairs are based on how they play). Then she said well maybe I need to look at that a different way....I was second to last chair in an honor band which means the best kids in the county.

Traci, of course she should look at it that way....she should be very proud of her accomplishments in band!! (and it gives her something to work for...moving up to first chair!!)

Maryanne, I forgot to comment on your basket...did you say you made it? Wow, that is very good!! I bet you could sell those and make some $$ if it is something you enjoy doing!

Awesome packages ladies.......

My neighbor left a message on our door that there is a package that the mail dude left with her.... (it was very windy out today and maybe it could of blown back to the sender!).... and so I will have to wait until tomorrow to see who it's from. She's already in bed since she watches her granddaughter and has to be up at 6:30 am. Wonder if I could just use my key and go in....... I'll wait..... she's just like me and sleeps with a loaded 45 in the nightstand... don't wanna be ducking and dodging bullets!

That being said, guess I'd best get myself in the shower and watch what happened tonight on the voice!

Night all.....
