    I'm off the bench (will post pictures on Sunday when I get home) but will gladly share my candy corn mixed with Spanish peanuts. If you've never tried it -- yummy -- like eating payday candy bars.
    OOH, I will send candy corn mixed with Spanish peanuts to my soldier in their Halloween boxes and tell them the idea came from you! They will love it!!

    Will it blink and swirl if I print it out? :mrgreen:
    It is for October. Lori's quote. PACKAGES NEED TO BE SENT OUT BY October 14th this is a FIRM deadline (NOT A SUGGESTION).

    To use the reminder, go to photobucket and make one for yourself. I can't print out the code.

    I've run my internet business for about 12 years - and that was accidental. A series of events starting with finding some objects in a trash bin at an estate sale, losing a political job after the group I was working for lost an election, and the need to earn money for my son's high school tuition.

    One thing lead to another and I started selling vintage veils I found. Then I purchased from a wholesaler - paying too much and they weren't too nice. Fast forward to an estate sale where I found a lot of lace and though, hmmm, I can use this to make veils. So I bought a Singer on sale at Kohl's for $79 and started sewing. Not knowing how to do something never stopped me from doing it. Now I have five working machines and my house is bursting at the seams with lace. (Pun intended) That source that I initially purchased veils from no longer sells retail and seems to have problems with fulfilling wholesale orders so for the moment, I am the veil lady! I never in a million years intended to become a veil maker, but life takes odd twists and turns.

It's helping a little, but they put me on the lowest does to start with.

    Very nice packages everyone has received today.
    Arizonagirl, that is awful. I hope it will help without any adverse reactions.

    Caramba, girls (and boys)! We're falling apart in this group. I wonder if they have a nursing home for falling apart quilters?
    Expecting to collapse soon myself. Son has strep and was a nice young man and shared. :hunf:

    You KNOW..... That WOULD be fun - to live in an "old folks" home strictly for quilters and crafters.
    Let me know when my room is ready for me. It will come with a sewing room also right? And in the day room there will be long arm machines for everyone to use.
    Yes, but they will be operated by handsome, burly aides since we are all too weak.

    Here's a photo. There was a charm pack of 20 squares of a very beautiful and fun Mardi Gras theme - talk about rich looking fabric and colors - I LOVE the feather fabric. And a clutch bag pattern that uses these charm squares - I swear I'm a regular "bag" lady. Also a purple thang (a very versatile tool), and some misc yardage. The dark maroon one I did not have in my stash so that was a nice surprise. And a very thoughtful card to round out the thoughtful gift. I'm a happy camper!!! Thank you Sherylb.
    Nice pkg and you got that purple thang!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

    It is surprising what you learn on this board. I just donated 3 huge boxes of gorgeous lace to the Goodwill. I'm sure you could have used most of it in your business as it was white and soft pastels.
