I already have a list on what do make/shop for ___E___.

HINT: She's not too far from me.

Love all the pics of everyone's trees. I have to share pics when we get back home. I am feeling miserable right now with my sore throat and head cold, thanks to all the pollen in the air. Kiko also has a cold. He's teething and miserable.

Everyone has been sent a PM with SS assignments yesterday.

We just discovered that one PM is evidently defective so if the following gals do not have PM from me regarding your SS, please let me know ASAP.

If you edit the line where you write in your location...and put your MQ there as well as your state or city, then it will show up for us easier.

Well who would want to edit out that cutie?
She's adorable!

I tried what you said Gwen, let's see if it takes...
MQ page 8 #230

Here's my tree from a couple of years ago, it looks pretty much the same every year, with just a couple of new ornaments every year ... DH and DS says there are too many decorations on it ... DD and I don't understand the statement

As I am trying to come up with ideas on each item I have come up with questions..

Question -
Do you and your spouse have a date night and if so, do you have special place you like to go or do?

Even if you don't have date nights, do you have a special place or thin you like to do as a couple?

Do you have someplace special you like to spend with your spouse?

For those of you who are married, how many years have you been married?

For people like me, not married, do you have something you love to do? Maybe something you love?

For those of us in previous rounds, several people love Jon Bon Jovi and there are George Strait fans.

Do you have a favorite singer?

What is your favorite type of music?

Would you want to receive flowers made of trims/ribbons?

What color would you want your Ribbons/trims?

Would you want your ribbons/trims to be Christmas themed or solid colors to use through out the year?

Gift tags - would you prefer them to be made for Christmas, Birthday or name any other occassion?

Last I talked with KM she was going to skip this round and take a break. Actually were both going to skip this round and you know how well that worked for me. LOL. I lost all my pics when my computer crashed a few months ago.

We have some nicer decorations now which I love, but my son and I have a had a yearly tradition. Money was super tight when he was young so we would go to the dollar store or equivalent to buy our Christmas decorations. We would laugh at how hideous some of the decorations were. we had just watched Rudolf and he had said it's like the island of misfit toys. So we decided that we needed to give some of them a home. So every year we find 5 hideous ornaments or decorations to add to the tree. People who don't know the tradition are polite when they see the tree and compliment it...then when we tell them the story they are relieved and then really get into looking at all the hilarious ornaments and decor. The tradition continues as everyone votes for the decoration that is the most hideous and that becomes the centerpiece for Christmas dinner. My favorite is the 70's disco mirror ballish christmas tree. Eventhough things have gotten financially better and we have some nicer decorations, this is still our favorite tradition.

Ok, if kelley seems to think Melody is skipping then I will remove her and I'm about to send out a couple PMs.

waving hi to my famous detective! I only wish I could figure you out! not necesarily who you are but just how you managed to find that old newspaper article! I just answered all the latest questions in my original post! I also made all of my answers in bold so it would be a little easier to see my answers! hope that helps! I think I best be for headed for bed now before I fall asleep sitting here! goodnight all and happy tuesday!
lets see if I can find a pic of one of my christmas trees!
I can't take credit for these trees! they are not really mine! I couldn't find any pics of my tree! every year my family and I go to what they call the festival of trees here and basically what it is is people donate trees and other things and decorations and time to raise money for a charity if I remember right it is for a childrens hospital here! they sell the trees and that money goes to the charity! but these are pictures of a few of my favorite trees from the festival! almost every tree has a story behind it! basically what inspired the people to decorate it in this way! alot of times the stories are sad but very touching! some have lost a loved one to age, a disease, or an accident of some kind or some are just affected by a dibilitating disease of some kind! it is so much fun to go to this big event center and look at all the pretty trees and read some of the touching stories behind the trees!

I have officially stalked everyone's blogs that had them linked. Love all the creativitiy. Jean everytime I see Silas I have to smile. M & K Gramma, love your creative space. Your work is beautiful. Joysee your wreaths are gorgeous. I could go on about each and every blog.

Have a good night everyone.

Just wanted to check in. I think my pm's were messed up but all is well now. I have my SS and have checked out her anwers and will try to check her MQ later this week. I will also answer the additional questions that have been posted tomorrow for the SS who has me.

Regarding the questions...

Assuming I haven't accidently missed any posted by you gals - there are now 30 questions.

It would be helpful to your SS if you would take a couple minutes to go look at your own answers and make sure you have all 30 questions listed and answered in your own post.

Thanks!!

Let's get the questions out of the way this week as much as possible cuz I'm gonna be busy working on a couple other swaps this weekend and next week. So I might not be as quick to keep up with the additional questions.
