Okay Secret Santa Pal .... I'm have all your goodies done. So now I need a box, some pretty wrapping paper and we are ready to go. I can almost say that I don't think you would be expecting what is coming and will be in for a real shock or Not. I would like to see you face when you actually opened this package up. Hee hee.

I had planned on mailing my package out a couple days ago...but the plan changed. Lol. But it will get sent before the deadline. I decided to make a special gift and Im half way finished with it.
Hint.. is your state upside down or right side up?

Here is a poem that I had found back in 2009. it was written by
Judie Bellingham.
She has updated it since the first time I saw it.
ENJOY!

[h=1]A Quilters Resolve - Resolutions for 2011[/h]
It’s that time of year when we all look deep into our navels
and contemplate the possibilities of the year in front of us.
As quilters, we are always optimistic for the present and the
future and this is echoed in our hopes and dreams.
Throughout my life, I have attempted to set goals for myself
at the beginning of new times, not only new years, but after
childbirth, the advent of my children commencing their school
life and the completion of their school years and the beginning
of “my time” following their flight from the nest.
I am somewhat proud to say that I have achieved some of the
goals I have set, and I think equally proud that I haven’t. It shows
that I’m human and susceptible to life’s unexpected and unpredictable
bolts from the blue.
With 2011 almost upon us, I have written a poem that reflects
(tongue in cheek) my resolutions for my quilting life in 2011.
I hope you enjoy it.
[h=3]A Quilters Resolve
[/h]
The holidays are past
A New Year at last
Time to resolve my intent for the year
Twelve months of plans
To do with my hands
Achieving goals with good cheer
My stash it has grown
In brights, whites and tones
It’s threatening to overpower.
I resolve not to splurge
Ignoring the urge
Instead, I’ll take a cold shower
I have purchased some tools
That state “stress free for fools”
But are still in their wrapping, ignored
I resolve to attempt
To use as they’re meant
Not simply acquired and then stored
My library of quilt books
Not there just for looks
Lies idle, and I full of guilt
I resolve to absorb
All interesting words
And put them to use in my quilts
My cottons and threads
Blue, greens, blacks and reds
Are a gnarled, knotted mess in the tin
I resolve to unravel
Even delay any travel
Until they’re as neat as a pin
But what of my projects
All works in progress
They await my attention and time
I resolve to apply
My keen hand and eye
And complete them by end of 09
As long as I’m itching
I resolve to keep stitching
Creating heirlooms as I go
Each available hour
Within all my power
I’ll design, quilt, thread, stitch and sew

SO frustrating. The most important gift for my SSR still has not be shipped to me and the seller has gone mute. She has a great rating, si I will have faith that life got in the way. Large WHINEEEEEEEEEEE! Without this gift, other parts of the package don't make sense! Crossing my fingers it gets here before our mailing deadline! Seems my SSR fancies a designer whose extra special designs can't be found locally.

Well, well, well.....the deed is done!.....and it's in the mail!!! Hope you like the choices I made for you. You said you LOVED coconut........NOT ! Cattle plays a significant part in your state's history in more ways than one.
