WooooHoooo!!!! All these new posts have appeared overnight/this morning, just like presents under a Christmas tree!

When I was a young teen, my BFF moved up North and mailed some snow back down South, to me. 'Nuff said!

I'll have to pass on the red wine (prefer white) but will gladly help 'take care of' any dark chocolate or other assorted goodies.

She's coming to my town

next June. Managed to get 2, but trying to get another 2 for my sister

Dolly Parton tickets?!? LUCKY you!!!!

I just took a workshop with Christine Barnes on color and so now know I really need more lights and darks as almost all the fabric I brought to the workshop was medium. But learned that is ~90% of what manufacturers make because that is what we buy. I am going to try and catch up on the chatter this weekend. But that may be futile.

I'm glad my giftee did provide some more information, I can make something more personal and deletes something I that was on my list to get.

Most of my stash appears to be mediums and darks. I thought I had more lights, until I started trying to match up darks, mediums, and lights together, for a D9P. When I stood back and squinted my eyes, most of my 'lights' pretty much blended into the mediums . . . and some of my 'mediums' blended into the darks.

No, she had put the snow into a ziploc bag (way before the double zip) and by the time the letter arrived, the plastic bag was empty. The letter was a bit smeared and wrinkled, but dry. I know I shouldn't laugh . . . but can't help wondering what her postman thought, when he later emptied his mailbag and found a bunch of wet mail!

To my SSP:
You will probably have your box today or tomorrow.
Unless you avoid reading the postmark, you will know it is from me.
So let me add to the suspense. I read every thread and found a lot of clues.
So you will be surprised to see what I selected. Ho, ho, ho!
