Well if I don't get one I'll know to use one...great idea!

I am hoping to finish my secret pals package today. I have one more item to get ... I have been looking and looking and I am unable to find it ... even though a couple of weeks ago everywhere I went it was there. I have one more place to check ... the liquor store ... yep I said the liquor store ... wish me luck that I find it there.

I can't tell you how many hours I've spent pulling thread off my vacuum's roller. Not to mention the horror when I see thread hanging from one end or the other on my pups.

Joann had them on sale for 99 cents ... and add to that the 25% off discount. You can get a LOT of FQs for that price.

I am going to get my package in the mail today since it is leaving the USA and going to a place I love to visit. I hope my SP will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed gathering it!

I'm getting a little nervous here, still waiting on the mail for what I ordered for my SP. I may just have to send it, need to go back and look at the dates again. Krystyna I think I need to send you about $20 to go get FQ's for me and mail them, closest Joann's is 120 miles. That's what I get for living in a small, tiny, wee little town. Buuuuuuutttt, it really does have it's advantages. Maybe that's why I love these pkgs. so much, they all come from the big city.

it's me that's moving. it does the mind good to purge things. i put a lot of stuff out on the curb free for taking yesterday and it was grabbed up almost immediately. what doesn't get picked up will go to goodwill. i even found 2 crystal bowls i had forgotten about (for 10+ yrs of company service). i have even managed to gift my stove and fridge to a needy household. i will get to purchase new shiny ones now.

yep glad i had some time to purge.
