RATS!! No pics yet! lol Must be she's away this weekend or something like that....
Maybe later tonight.
Gosh we had a lovely dinner out today! Meal was very good, service was great too! And it was a new place! Then we went to a major store across the street and straight to the toy dept. so that we could help each other out with some ideas for the little ones. So that really added to the outing and we all agree we'll have to remember to do this same thing next year!
It's always so nice when a day goes perfectly!
But talk about a dreary day here! Rainy and dark...just awful out there! I thought it was going to be warm and bright so sure fooled me!
Must be tomorrow is going to be the warm day....

I just did a quick check on DC#s and although it's too early for them to update to "out for delivery" - I suspect that atleast one will get delivered today, if not 3. I'll keep you updated once I run the numbers again later this morning or early afternoon to give the West Coast a chance to update their numbers. and yes, that's a hint....we have a UTAH delivery very close! Plus Ali's box is ready for her to pick up too. WE also have a couple southerly boxes close to being delivered. Cheryl's box is the box that was delivered on Saturday. Hopefully we will hear from her today! I have to assume she's away from the house this weekend, as she normally would be right online to say thank you. I'd rather have her be away as opposed to being too sick in bed to get up and post! The anticipation is about doing me in today! and my good news: My jury duty got postponed today for a month....so I get to be home afterall today to keep up with the MB! I'm so happy about that! I believe I have DCs for 12 out of 31 boxes. So there is going to be a flurry of activity yet to come! I'm thinking we can all be busy getting ready for christmas this weekend and then be glued to the computer screens next week once all the boxes start arriving again! lol Sounds like the perfect plan to me!

Looking forward to pictures soon!   I was a busy little crafting bee this weekend. My remaining swaps are packaged and awaiting a trip to the PO and all I have left is a half done birthday gift Yippee! Warm temps forecasted for today & tomorrow so hopefully I'll get all the outside Christmas decorations up before Winter returns. Normally I'd be rushing to get DS/DDIL's gifts done and in the mail now but as soon as he gets in from deployment they're heading to Vegas so that buys me time! I'm off to haul Christmas up from the basement; I'll check back for pics! HAPPY MONDAY! Speaking of DS, I don't recall if I bragged here or not... Not only did he achieve his First Class standing a year early (allowed to test early because of consistently high evaluations)but he's also been chosen as the 2012 Junior Sailor of the Year for his boat! So proud of him Edited by user Monday, December 03, 2012 7:43:32 AM(UTC)

Excited to see picts soon. realy love the stuff I made this weekend Hope SS does too

Janice (grandmaJ) was able to contact Joysee again and she is going to be having more surgery tomorrow. She just got out of the hospital for the weekend only....poor thing!
So keep her in your thoughts, all.

Cheryl - When Jean showed me the picture of you and your husband - I wanted to cry and it's not even my picture! lol
It's gonna be pretty tough for the rest of you gals to beat out that "music sheet" directive!
Jean did a truly awesome job on everything - so much thought and personalization put into it all!
great job Jean and enjoy it forever, Cheryl!!!
Now to see if 3 more gals post tonight with pics of boxes!

Ok now I'm worried, I don't think I can even come close to keeping up with Jean. Everything was very nice and what a wonderful idea with the picture. Cheryl good thing you said no dibbs there are several items I would have been putting my name down for. Can't wait to see pictures of more boxes.

According to DC #, my SS received her package a few hours ago--I sure hope she likes it --I did try to do the very best I could do even tho I was absent from the mb for a while to do unforeseen circumstances.

Oh my gosh, Cheryl, you got a fabulous box from Jean!!! Wow!! I love, love that altered tray, how very creative, Jean!!!! You do absolutely glorious work!!!! The frame is sooo beautiful and everything else is as well! Enjoy it all, Cheryl, you deserve it as you do such perfect work, too!!!!!
I haven't been feeling real well the past few days... I did get to go to Columbus and we did bridal dress shopping! My daughter bought the second dress she tried on! I was shocked at what she chose... lace and beading!!! It is soooo what I would have picked out for her, but I thought she would go very plain and sleek. It's not poufy at all, but she looked stunning in it, and yep, I cried!!!! LOL!! But now, this cold has really gotten to me, and in turn has put me further behind than I wanted to be! But I've worked a little today and tomorrow will be finishing up.. no kids!!! So I'm sure I will be mailing Wednesday, even though I really, really wanted to get it out Saturday!!!!
Anyway, off to take a warm bath... even though the temps are warm here, I am freezing!!!!
Again, awesome box and can't wait to see more!!!!
Hugs,
Teri

I do, I do!! I think you did awesome and I so appreciate the work you put into it. I haven't been on the board like I would like to either but I can tell you have paid attention to me. I am sorry I didn't post earlier... I got home and picked up Brandon and headed out to a meeting. I got home a bit ago and have opened everything but still need to take pictures but I am having a hard time letting George out of my hand!!!
