Other crafts? I dabble at crochet from time to time, cross stitch too. Love to cook, bake. Not into gardening.

Well, in a few more days we'll have our names & the stalking will really begin! And the teasing!! Those who haven't perused the hole yet, you'll get there! Thanks all for filling out the little questionnaire, I'm sure it will help your Santa better match your likes.

I just dropped off a pumpkin cheesecake in the hole, enjoy!

Clover clips: I have a bunch of them and I love them.

I don't do a lot of applique.

I'm a first timer, too. I have read through the posts and our co-santas have been wonderful about suggestions. try looking up the Secret Santa 2014 forum for a fast set of pictures of what has been given and received. The must includes are 4 fat quarters and a personalized gift that, if not homemade, costs no more than $20. Folks like to include things they have had for a while but not used, or duplicates of things they have as anything on hand doesn't count towards the $20 limit. Some packages have nothing but quilting items. Some packages are filled with personalized likes.... that's why all the questions are being asked and answered on the board. And most of all, the chatting is amazingly entertaining! The thrill of the hunt for unique items to send and the thrill of getting a package filled with goodies. How much can you send keeping that $20 limit in mind?

Another question for you all -- what is your favorite holiday? Mine is Halloween.

Do you search flea markets for UFOs and/or scraps to build your backlog of projects? I do.

Other hobbies and crafts? stamp collecting, archaeology, geography, nutrition, scrapbooks.

BTW, I dropped off some apple-cinnamin muffins down in the hole. I put them in the oven to keep them warm. Enjoy!
