Was busy yesterday getting ready for DG's birthday party this Sat. He'll be 10 next week. He's so excited to see what his gifts are that are starting to arrive! Took him to get what he really wanted...a goldfish. Bought him 2, got home & they died 2 hours later! Gotta go back & replace them today! I thought they were supposed to be hearty fish, what happened?? Don't know.

Today's hint: You have a big shade tree shading your driveway.

This could be me

... only now the shade is ON the driveway... the leaves fell off

and it's cold now but only for a few days... then it's going to warm back up to the 50's

Oh dear .. I have been keeping up on the posts whether or not I post myself. I have to say you girls really give me a giggle in the mornings with my coffee.
There are packages flying everywhere in the continental U S of A, surely mine is one of them. It is a good thing to have it later like this. It is so hard to have it around calling me to open it. LOL... I will be good. But, it is tremendously hard on a gal who loves quilty things from SS.

I am very close to having all my sewing finished for Christmas presents. Thank goodness. It sure was a big job this year.

We are putting up the Christmas tree and lights this weekend. All of the hustle bustle will be fun. Most of the heavy cleaning is finished too. So let the parade of decorating boxes begin! I'm ready and jazzed now.

I noticed the girls talking about rum. I don't drink anymore at all. But, in the day a Hot Buttered Rum was so nice during the holidays.

Patiently waiting SS ... My recipient said she got hers. Yay.... Now be good and wait for the rest of us!

A place for coffee, vino or tea,
whenever you use it, please think of me.

There's extra room for a little treat,
be it chips or nuts or something sweet.

Now pick up your glass, for a round of good cheer,
and let this pad be home for a tall glass of beer.....

What a Great verse this one is!!

I just might have to use this one too, when I copy the selvage edge mug rugs. You girls are so full of neat ideas. Oh how I LOVE this Quilting Board!! I am hoping that my SS package might arrive in today's mail. Cross your fingers for me everyone!!

Hey Leota.........this could be me, as all of our shade is laying out in the driveway too!!

Going to have some winds today, so we might have more shade to pick up tomorrow. Oh for the great hints that everyone is putting out. I am hoping my SS package might arrive today!!

I know that a lot of the packages went out USPS but I ended up with UPS and have no idea how long it is going to take. Had every intention of using Priority USPS but when I got there on Wednesday the line was forever long and only one clerk. Couldn't go back on the 14th so hopped on over to UPS and paid a bit more for less service LOL my receipt didn't give me me an estimated time of arrival.

So ... anyway ... long story to just say that some of us who didn't use Priority Mail our packages will take 3 to 5 days longer to be delivered.
