Good Morning everyone! Happy 2 weeks till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, have I got a lot to do!!!! Decorating is coming along though, baking is done thanks for family cookie exchange, now all I have to do is...finish the last bit of decorating, shop, and wrap. Oh, and Christmas cards which I am not gonna stress and make this year, just buy! Kim wants to scrap this weekend so she can work on a gift she is making, so I need to get the rest of my stuff done so I can!

Rhonda, wow, you did your share to help the usps out! Isn't it a great feeling to have them out of the house and on their way?

Good Morning everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I am trying to, but just can't get things to click this year...still think it is the whole snow thing...calling for upper 40's today and that just doesn't bring snow!! You know those people who get depressed over winter because of lack of sunshine...well, I think I am the opposite!! I am wilting due to too much sun! HAHAHA!

Has anybody seen any more of the WITH LOVE collection? Be sure to let me know if you see a preorder somewhere!! I check every couple of days on a few sites but nothing yet. Did see where one place had the preorder as COMING SOON! but no more pics.

So how many of you put Maggie's on your Christmas cards this year? I might try to get a couple made for close friends/family, but not gonna push myself to where I don't enjoy making them just to get them done. Every year I say I am going to make them at retreat in July but I never am in the mood for Chistmas then!!

Have a great day everyone. All I have at daycare is the almost 6 month old...wish I had the $$ to go shopping and the energy to carry him in that stupid huge seat!

Hi Maggie Sisters~ Hope everyone is doing well! I'm great....I got my box today! NO DIBBS!!!

Rhonda~ You did such wonderful, thoughtful, gorgeous work on my amazing gift! I can't even imagine the time and effort that went into that bracelet. I will cherish it forever. I love everything, especially my beautiful bracelet and the FAMILY sign. My favorite candy and the Copic Markers are awesome. Thank you for not one but two Maggie Stamps and the K & Company Paper! You spoiled me so much and I really appreciate all of the work you put into the bracelet. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You are wonderful and amazingly artistic! You worked so hard on those Maggies and it definitely shows. AGAIN, THANK YOU!!!

Here are the pictures...

Rebecca, I know you said no dibbs but if I whine like I used to will you give me that bracelet? Please, please, please???

Rhonda, That bracelet is AMAZING. Also, the family blocks match her room and personality perfectly.

I have not received yet...

Jess~ Thanks, I love everything that Rhonda did for me. It's awesome!

Traci~ I love you but....not giving up my beautiful bracelet.

Rhonda~ Did you make those charms out of Shrinkydinks? My girls thought that was great. They remember doing the Shrinkydinks from when they were kids.

Janice~ I'm definitely going to enjoy it! Thanks. Hope you're getting over the blues.

Hi to all the other Maggie Sisters.

Hope everyone is having a Terrific Thursday

~Rebecca

Hi Maggie Sisters~ Was hoping for more pictures. And still on pins and needles waiting to see what Rhonda thinks of her gift. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Rhonda~ Checked DC and USPS says your package was delivered today. Hope you were there to get it.

My DD is graduating from college tomorrow night and we have company coming in from out of town for the weekend. Will check in again to see what's going on either Sunday or Monday. Have a great weekend, ladies

Maggie sisters rock!
Today dh and I got back from Ia city to find a pampers box on my
kitchen table. It was addressed to me. Inside was a darling wooden frame,
A Christmas Maggie stamp ( I Love it!) and also a cute altered tin of cookies.
There was a note but the person only identified herself as a Maggie sister.
I cannot tell you how much that meant to me to have someone do that for me.
So whichever one of you angels did this, thankyou from the bottom of my heart!
Kathy
PS If I get a chance Sunday I will try and post pics,
tomorrow we are butchering pigs.
Half of one is going into our freezer.
Oh and I have finally found my Christmas spirit too.
My house is decorated and today I finished my Christmas shopping.
Most of it I got in Ia city, I got a hot tip that their Sears store
was closing so I got everything at least 40% off.
Hugs and Love and Merry Christmas to you all and espepcially to
my special angel.

Awesome gifts! Enjoy!

GrandmaJ have you heard anything from Evelyn? I don't know. Lets see if she checks in this weekend! I hope she's okay! So not like her to not check in!

I know Sweets was mailing this weekend! So hopefully all packages will be received by Christmas!

Thanks for the DC# Gayle!

Rhonda I am good! I have been super busy! Had Christmas dinner yesterday to spend time with my sister and her family before their cruise! My whole family was here and it made my day. Even Chips girlfriend/ex-wife ! I still just wanna call her his wife. Everyone was polite and seemed to enjoy themselves! My pawpaw came down. It was absolutely perfect for me! Just the way I wanted it!

Big waves to you Rebecca! I am making a HL run today! I hope to find the perfect papers for your gift bag! I hope to get started on your project soon! I so wanna be crafting! I hope you have a great weekend!

Traci thats awesome that DD was accepted at FSU! Congrats to her!

I hope all of you have a fantastic weekend! I will be back on later this evening!

Shoot, knew I would forget something...No Jess, I haven't heard from Evelyn for a week or more. Hopefully she will drop in soon and everything is ok. Iknow she had said they are doing some house renovations.

Hi Maggie Sisters~ Hope everyone is doing well. Was stunned by the news in CT so I've been a little melancholy. Graduation was awesome but guest speaker used his speech as a political forum and I was really ticked off because he kept going on and on and on. People around us were getting ticked off as well ...just felt like it was the wrong time and place for such a thing. And he just kept going on and on!!! No one had lunch because graduation was early and we were going out to dinner so I was really hungry which didn't help the situation

But watching her pick up her diploma and walk across that stage was so worth it... amazing accomplishment. I cried, DH teared up, her grandparents cried! Such great tears of joy.

Rhonda~ I'm so thrilled that you love your stuff. I truly enjoyed making all of it for you and loved being your partner. Looking forward to being partners again in the future!

Gayle~ I love FL and would live there in a minute if my life situation permitted it. But, it's just not meant to be! I always joke and tell the girls that someday I'm moving to a retirement home in Boca!!!

Kathy~ That's awesome and that's exactly why I love all of our Maggie Sisters! All amazing ladies. Enjoy!

Janice~ Sounds like it was a great night for and with Joey. I love those programs and miss the kids being small enough to be in them. My DS plays the sax and his Christmas Concert was earlier this week. They did so well. I've got 6 kids and have been to so many things over the years and I never stop enjoying their performances. It's such a blessing to be a part of that! I know you enjoyed it!

Jess~ Sounds like you had a great day! Can't wait to get started on your project. I already have a plan!

Traci~ I'm so excited for Madelyn! I'm with you...happy that she's not going to be too far from home in case she needs you but just far enough away to have some freedom and build some confidence in herself being on her own! I'm going to have to start looking for something FSU for her grad gift!

Hope Evelyn is ok... everyone else too! Have a great weekend, ladies. I had a wonderful time with my mom and SIL. We stayed up till 4am talking and laughing! My other company didn't make it so it gave me more time to spend with my mother, which is always a blessing. Will be praying for the families in CT and keeping them in my thoughts, such a senseless tragedy.

Enjoy your day...Happy Saturday

Janice should have received her package today. I am so nervous. I do hope she likes it. It seems the packages have been floating around everywhere. It has been taking forever to get to their destinations right now. It's really a nervebuster when you try to do your best for someone but when the postal system is not cooperative, that just makes it that much more stressful. Now, I see how Janice felt when she mailed her package. Now, we'll play the waiting game to see if it gets delivered. Oh dear.

Evelyn
