Hi, I'v been in Maryland since September visiting family and friends and won't be home til November. My ornaments are going to the post office tomorrow (that's if Hurrican Sandy doesn't show up). And on the flip side - if you sent my ornament out, I thank you and I'm sure I will love it and I promise when I return home and go though my mail, you will get my confirmation that it did reach me. Loving all the posted pictures.

So stinkin cute I say. Ok.. so.. for real.. I'm going to try to get my ornies out tomorrow. I'm still waiting on one. My truck got jumped today so assuming it doesn't find a reason to not start tomorrow, first thing, I'm going the post office.. before i spend any more money. geez.

So.. I think ya'll need adorable table toppers to go with the adorable ornaments.. ya'll should come join my swap :D I need all your adorable creativeness.

CountryHouseQuilter 10-29-2012 07:18 AM

I am soooooo sorry!!!! I apparently recieved a package a week or so ago. I was away on Retreat for 4 days and my DD was getting the mail on her way in from school. Needless to say, some of it lived in her car (17 yr old). On top of that I've had a few Drs visits along with eye surgery for my Mom and getting ready for this Hurricane. I finally got my package the other day and just now had time to post.

Big THANK YOU to Cindy (Cindy60545) for the beautiful oraments and candy. I will post pics later as I'm trying to get alot done before we lose power. I won't be able to post pictures of the candy because DH was so excited to see what was in the box that he claimed the candy for himself. The ornaments are wonderful and will hold a special place on my "special tree". It's a tree that stays up all year round and changes with the seasons/holidays. Christmas it becomes especially important to me, as it holds all the special ornaments that friends have given me over the years. I remember who gave me everyone and enjoy hanging all of them up. So Cindy, you are now added to my special friends tree!!!!!

And to anyone that may be waiting for my ornaments, they are made and packed. I'm hoping to get to the Post Office on Wednesday to mail them out. Pray for everyone on the East Coast, we're about to get wacked with a big punch!!!! We've battened down the hatches and now we're just waiting. Praying that it isn't as bad as they're telling us.

Again, thank you Cindy!!!!! Love, love, love them!!!!!!!

Glad you like them!

Yay I did it I did it. I got to the post office. The ornies are on their way home. They said they should arrive by thursday.

Elisabrat 10-29-2012 04:54 PM

FINALLY ANASTASIA I have been tapping my toes waiting and waiting and now you say you have mailed them so they must be coming to me!! yippee!! yahoo!!! doing a happy dance sorta .. they are for me RIGHT? hint hint you did send them my way FIRST even if they are not for me, I am renouned for not getting things back in the mail right away but could send them back out say Dec 26th the lines should be much slower then at the post office..

ok no ornaments yet its ok everyone my tree is not yet up :) but soon very soon! I saw a tree in Hammacher Schlamacher cataloge a artificial tree, it was perfect. Also a perfect $1,250. So maybe not this year, time to get out the old Axe and call honey in for a little tree chat. if its little its kindling BUD. I will send my catalogue ad with him so he can compare til he finds THAT tree.. he might be gone a while should I send food too? nope he will work harder if he is hungry and wants dinner. (told you my nick name is Mrs. Grinch right?)

Anastasia 10-29-2012 05:01 PM

tee hee.. no space for a tree for me so mine will probably hang from the poinsettia garland that I keep perpetually strung between my living/dining rooms. Course once I get them up there they will probably never come back down..And I also have to figure out where the kittens have run off to with the little stocking one I received..brats.

Ladybug 1938 10-29-2012 05:04 PM

EVERYONE Krystyna needs your prayers, they chose to stay in their home and I have been in contact with her all day today and just got a message, they have water on the first floor and she asked that everyone pray for them, She her husband,son and Melissa and a friend of her son's... Please past this on to any of the boards that you know that Krystyna is on... I will keep you posted if I hear more... Please repost...

God Bless and prayers for all in the path of this storm.. I also have a daughter and family who are in CT and affected...

kiffie2413 10-29-2012 05:08 PM

Krystyna is one of the recipients of one of my Christmas ornaments...when she pm'd to thank me last week she said they were trying to prepare for the hurricane...I told her then I would keep she and her family in my prayers, and I will continue to do so. Thanks Ladybug1938 for the update...

I've finished my ornaments and will try to get them out tomorrow. The quilt block ornament is about 2.25 inches square. The tree is 3 dimensional and does not include the stand. I had a difficult time deciding what to make and hope the recipient likes them.

I heard from my aunt and they are suppose to get hit as well. Been praying for them. We were missed but have heavy rain and wind is well very windy. Just need to slow down and drive careful. Prayers go out to all. So as I hear word may need some help in quilts if you ladies are up to it. Will keep you posted.

owlvamp 10-29-2012 08:33 PM

Beautiful ornaments everyone.!!

Elisabrat 10-29-2012 11:31 PM

I will hope they got the hell out of dodge when the water started coming in. ARGH things are not that important people are.. shoot will certainly pray for her and her family. Is rescue coming for them or is she thinking of hanging out longer til its really hard to get them out? oh crud. I wish they hadnt stayed.

sewbeadit 10-30-2012 01:47 AM

I will be sending out my ornaments probably on Thursday. Give this storm time to get over.

Hi all! Just got home last night from our vacation! Had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting and spoiling our precious new Grandson! We stopped and saw all the other ones also and even a couple of days in the mountains by ourselves on the way home. Haven't been on vacation alone just the 2 of us in I can't remember when! It was wonderful! Anyway... thank you again to Susan (segasal) for the beautiful ornament! Finally caught up on the thread and all the ornaments are just beautiful, makes me want to put up my tree! Ladies... so glad you received and liked yours. Still waiting on one of mine! Everyone have a great day and stay safe praying for all those affected by the storm, we sure know what that's like! Will post a picture later!

I received a wonderful Christmas ornament from segasal and some very pretty fabric. Thank you Susan. Here is a pic.[ATTACH=CONFIG]373513[/ATTACH] I have never had one of these before and it sure is pretty!

QuilterMomma 10-30-2012 01:18 PM

I am hoping to get my ornaments in the mail tomorrow. That is the close to the deadline, just working hard and trying to get things done. End of month so UFO time for me. I do have them stitched out, just need to put the ribbon on which I had to order in, don't get out much, so can mail.

I have received both of mind and they are sitting on my little stand. I have been slow on photos. Will have to take a day and picture everything and post. I finally got a new battery charger for the camera so can use the camera. Nice ornaments and great job people.

QuilterMomma 10-30-2012 01:19 PM

Yep, this is one that I received. Glad I was looking thru, I knew I saw it. Thank you so much Tracey for the pretty ornament.
