I would trade with them too. Don't even have to post on here-they could just PM me! Not a problem for me-easygoing person I am!!

I'm not even going to decorate this year. Will be up in the mtns with the kids from Tuesday before until Saturday after. We eliminated gifts several years ago (except for 2 grandchildren who get a little money) and we each buy 5 lottery tickets apiece. We mix them up on the table and we each draw 5. We also have snappers right after that. The real reason for the season is for all of us to be together. Works for us. Merry Christmas to all of you.

Go Broncos, Boise Idaho, headed for the Fiesta Bowl, first time ever!!

My Christmas wish is for all my family and friends for healing.

OOPsn didn't mean first time ever. Sorry, just got excited. And the fat lady hasn't sang yet.

Sewellie we have always played cards for envelopes. you got an envelope but cant open it when all the envelopes are done you simply can trade for other unopened envelopes most are lottery tickets but some are honey do lists. like bring in the mail all week long or rub moms back for 20 minutes lol . it is a fun way to spend a lot of time and just have fun.

I am off to Billings hope you got your package Sewellie! I will either be home tonight or tomorrow at some point depending on what they decide to do. a long day regardless! wish me luck. xox

Keep coming west, partner. Soon you'll reach Idaho and Gary will make you those home made waffles.
Received your pretty green pk. today. Love, love, love them. Baby Willa helped me open the pk and she said, "for me?" Maybe darlin' maybe. I think I have a quilter in the making
Thank you dear friend, they are beautiful.

Hubby and I decided to cut down this year too, kids aren't the problem it's all the grandkids and great grands...then sister, brother's etc. Then the birthdays and the older I get the more I screw up, seems they are never on time. I get so frustrated, wrote a letter to enclose this year, once a year at Christmas I will write checks. Sorry if that sounds cold but enough is enough sometimes and then there are the ones that always call and say Thank you, (so much appreciated that you know they received) but then there are some that don't.
Haven't heard anything about Linda ladies so don't have an update for you.
Bullock2us you should have received your FQ's today, hope you like them.

I got my 1st set of fqs from NancyW, I was confused when I opened the pkg, as they're Christmas fabrics.. I had mailed mine out, and I sent batiks, so I checked on here to make sure I had the right theme . Whew, was I relieved to see it's batiks..lol..
I pm'd Nancy to thank her for the lovely fqs, and to tell her she would be getting batiks...she messaged back she didn't remember what the theme was, so she sent Christmas. I just wanted to make sure she didn't open her pkg and expect Christmas fqs...My "loopy" brain can sure play tricks on me...
Anyways, here's the nice fqs she sent, thanks again, Nancy:
