Starting.....

Little trees, one by one.  Wondering if two larger trees are better than lots of little ones.  But after a few months of reduced hot flashes (FINALLY!) I'm back to flames and as usual, change my mind with each one.

What day is it now?

Thank you for the purchases.  I plan on having some different ones and hopefully a few journals soon.  Still checking the store for stock but no luck as of yet.  I am still filling and packing and shipping and today, Thursday, I only have three left to do.  I was surprised at the amount of time it took to box and pack! 

 Today I'm taking Carole to the doctor after fighting about it for days, and I have a feeling it will end with a hospital admission.  Her cough is so ugly and scary and not one bit better.  After the appointment, I'm sure she will need x-rays and tests.  Our diagnostic center is a ridiculous waste of space with handicapped parking way too far away.  They put money into glass ceilings, enormous interior (and empty) space, and large circular drive, with no concern for the sick people coming for tests.  The sides of this building are where you park, and then walk all the way around to the only entrance directly in front.  She can't do it, completely out of breath.

Bud is wondering why the decorating isn't done.  Wait till he finds out the rocker and grapevine tree will be relocated to the back deck.  I love seeing decorated houses and lots of lights, but end up with as little as possible on my own.

 

I have been so busy with the boxes that I haven't stitched in a while.  The good thing is, I think this break helped my slump because I can't wait to finish decorating and sit down with the needle.

 

To those affected by the recent tragedy, I am so sorry.  Thank goodness they found all the explosive devices and bombs, can't imagine what they were planning after this.  This information was not broadcast by the media I was watching.  I guess it's time to change sources.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks for visiting.

Information listed

Hello people.  I just listed all the boxes, prices, and sizes on the Sampler box page HERE.

 

SALE STARTS AT 8PM EST TONIGHT (11/30) AND EMAILS BEFORE THEN WILL NOT BE COUNTED. 

Because of the limited quantity, I decided to forgo the Paypal cart and take orders as received.  If there is something you order and it is gone, I can see what it is and let you know if I can do it in the next batch.  I wouldn't know that with the Paypal cart.  Any questions or errors that you see, please notify me before the sale.  Thanks!!!

Is this really Sunday?

I'm sorry.  I am a day off as usual.  It's the newspaper's fault.  I can tell what day it is by what supplements are included and they have been loaded with the same everyday.  But it is Sunday isn't it?  I will be posting photos of the boxes ready throughout today and tomorrow night (Monday) at 8pm the sale will be open.  I will post beforehand.  There will be another batch later in the week after I talk to Staples.  Again.  This HP Officejet Pro is way off on color.  I use my photos, they print yellow/green cast and way too dark.  I scan, it's much too light and washed out.  I copy, dark and bluish.  I'm taking some labels into the store to print on the floor model and if they are better, I am asking to switch out the machines.  I've had so much trouble and wasted hours and hours trying to lighten them.  So what's good will be tomorrow.  No other boxes were available at the shop but I am keeping a few unfinished for any special requests. 

 

My sister is still very sick and we've been running food and soup over plus once again, I am running around for her grandkids' and great grandkids' Christmas gifts.  When you don't have a lot of money, you appreciate and must participate in these weekend offers and I got almost all that she wanted.

 

I haven't been browsing many blogs or Facebook these past two weeks but happened to spot a decorated door on a brief browse of Pinterest,  Couldn't help myself, had to copy it.  Of course my neighbors were laughing and shouting "it's Christmas - not the 4th of July".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It may stay, it may go. 

Well, I have work to do so I'll see 'ya tomorrow.  And what day would that be?  Monday?  I'll make a note and pin it to my sweatshirt.

The question mark.  Unmistakable in form. 

 

Odd when it's sprouting from your head.  My wild mess of dyed steel wool does what it wants.  During recent surgery, somehow they tried to tame my hair before the cap and I ended up with several chopped pieces. This one has defied all products and pops up at will.  For the first time, Mark tagged along to a few sales Thanksgiving afternoon.  He was in such shock from the crowd at Walmart and subsequent stores, that he failed to mention the question mark escaped from the hair comb.  I think it may have happened when I bent over to locate a certain size of jeans from boxes in the main aisle, and several thousand people rammed into my rear while my head hit the display over and over.  We found the sizes and left.  They advertised opening at 6pm, but the enormous parking lot had overflowed into the adjoining plaza and people had filled carts way before that, standing in lines waiting until 6 to check out.  Once home and changing into my standard uniform of sweats, I wrenched my neck removing my sweater.  When I was pulling it over my head, somehow the sleeve of the turtleneck underneath was pulled inside out and caught in the sweater.  Panic attack.  My head was stuck between the sweater and the turtle and as I fought to release my arms, claustrophobia took over.  In that struggle I felt something pull in my neck but I made it out!  The sweater is now large enough for my sister to wear. 

 

We didn't have Thanksgiving dinner because Carole came down with a terrible cold, and the next five days have other commitments, so maybe next weekend!  I paid a lot more for a fresh turkey and it ended up in the freezer anyway.  

 

The boxes will be listed Sunday morning but I haven't figured out how yet.  I may do it in two batches if I can get labels made for the other size.  I will post the time tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon and let you know for sure.  One more trip tomorrow to see if any boxes came in, but I doubt it.  Maybe future offers will be BYOB.  Buy Your Own Box.  I'll send the label.

 

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

Thanks for visiting.
