Somebody help me remember who did the Winter Wonderland one so I can pay for that one too please? I think it was Dana?
I am so sorry. I have some US money here from my last trip so I might just send money to all of you. :hide:

Wow, I think my card stock has just been threatened by sweet Kathy. :o :? :hide: And my scrap books. :shock:
That is craft supply abuse. I wonder if the police would do anything about it. Could you see their faces if I even told them? :ROFLMBO: They would lock me up. :hide: Sir, I have 3 women threatening to tear my paper and card stock. Yep, they would lock me up. :ROFLMBO:
Okay, I won't send money but I will send something. You were all so sweet to not even mention what I had done but I wish you had. It won't happen again. Thank you.

You actually sent postage envelope and I will keep and treasure the stamps always. I love to get stuff like that, it is a wonderful memory keeper. And I love chocolate covered nuts. And pretzels, I love salty sweet, and my figure shows it.


Oh Suzan, I could not live near you. I would be shaped like a beach ball and I have enough trouble staying away from that factory. I don't eat much but when I do it is often chocolate. Then it takes 2 weeks of headaches to get it back out of my system. I have to go there this week because it is one of the places I do most of my Easter shopping. I take a list and it just gets thrown out. Then I chocolate to death my family and nieces and nephews that live near me. Their parents hate me at Easter. Chocolate is weird because I love buying it as much as eating it.
My DH and DD prefer handmade Darrel Lea chocolates when they are handmade at this factory too. My DD hands back last Easter's chocolate when I give her this years and she always has. There is something wrong with a female that doesn't love chocolate. :?

Oh Kate, I do not love chocolate. I like white chocolate which isn't really chocolate. But then you all knew something was wrong with me! I do love nuts and caremel though. So sweet and salty!!

Craft supply abuse :0. Oh my. I've been in danger of being locked up for years.

Thank you for the giggle this morning!!

:D OK Ladies all the beads are here, I received Whizzy's now I am going to sort and fill all your envelopes, I am hoping they go out Monday. Tuesday at the latest I promise. I just have to say, everyone's are so so so awesome. Yes we all have imperfections, but that is what makes it special. If I wanted a perfect bead I would go buy one. I know I will treasure all of these.

Thank you all so very much for participating in this swap. It has been really fun, from figuring out patterns to skyping while rolling beads, dropping beads in the glaze (yep did that a lot). I have had a blast and appreciate everyone that was part of this. Now off to sort bags.


ARRRRRRGH Unless I keep them all (Insert very wicked laugh) :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:

:ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: With all this talk of chocolate, ya'll are gonna love my paint chip color on this ATC Swap we are doing.....Swiss Chocolate! :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: :ROFLMBO: Can you tell I love chocolate? I learned how to make chocolate covered pretzels and was making several different sweets to put in a box for each of DS's teachers a couple of years ago. I made a HUGE batch of the chocolate covered pretzels and put them in the fridge while over the next week I made every thing else. When I went to assemble the boxes, I went to the container that had the pretzels and it was EMPTY!!! DS ate them ALL! I was making them on a fairly regular basis since he loves them so much, but I had to quit. That's how I gained my last fifteen pounds.

Another thank you for hosting this. I do have to say Elizabeth has been checking the mail since the Saturday after you got hers. :) I keep telling her that there are some coming from Australia so it is still going to be a bit. :) I told her you would post when you get them sorted, after you got them all. I think she thought the would get "magically" sorted and shipped. Wouldn't that be nice?
