    I guess this eliminates me cause I don"t have a W or M in my name. It's the personal touch that is appreciated not perfection :-D

    Dear SP,
    Your package should arrive by Friday, hopefully you like what I sent you. And since I know many of you are watching, here are my hints:
    Fall colors are your favorite, Christmas is your favorite holiday and you love vintage reproduction. Is it you?
    :mrgreen: You'll know by Friday!

    Just got back from shopping for my SP who enjoys sweet treats that melt. She also enjoys the containers that beverages come in so I am hard at work making mug rugs in her favorite colors ... which are ... not pink, not purple, but ... :mrgreen:

I wanted to send her off to the dog pound for the day...so I guess I have to make another one tomorrow and get it mailed quicker.
    My dog ate my high school graduation VCR tape. My little sisters wanted to watch it, so they stuck it in their pockets and went outside and it fell out of one of their pockets. My mom looked out the window the next day and saw something all over the lawn and didn't know what it was and went outside and see what it was and it was VCR tape and then she saw the chewed up VCR tape with dog teeth on it that said high school graduation and was like: OH NO!!

    ok, sp the "W" looks better, not perfect but better and the 4 1/2 ohio star was really hard for me to make, in fact I made two cause the first one was just awful. I do have to tell you, I like making mug rugs now and this one is so cute if you dont like it I will buy it off you for 10.00, lol

    It's gonna be a humm dinger of a pkg so hope she likes it.

    Oh and by the way somewhere in the above is a hint about something my SP likes and thats all I'm gonna say about that..
    I know! I know! I had to go back and read it a second time but I got the hint! Rats, it's not me :(
    Must be dense this morning, I don't get it:x ,haven't finished my cup of tea yet, I should come back to read this later.
    Myrna, anyone getting any of your handmade items is a lucky one.
    Not sure, but is the clue in humm dinger?
    I didn't find it either.Ever since candi said 3 of us loved fabric everyone is jumping on the band wagon.I think they are just saying that so they can get our fabric!! lol. My pal likes fabric and chocolate and does quilting! Guess who it is??? Mary
    Now, that really is me :XD: :XD: :XD:
