Tulsi would definitely get one. On Saturday I got a wonderful Christmas package. I can't take a picture as our camera is really on the fritz, but I will describe it to anyone still reading this blog. It had two magazines, Interweave Felt, and a Holiday Decorating magazine; a box of Christmas Cards, 6 Christmas gift bags, a package of red tissue paper, a cute red mug with snowflakes on it, some sugar 'n' cream with their best of dish cloths book, and two neat tins with cookies in them.<br /><br />WELL, this year we didn't send out Christmas cards and my husband was getting BUNCHES of them at work. So I immediately put those cards to use by giving them to my husb. for work! AND I picked up the package on Sat. On Sunday, we were headed to my mom's to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. I was giving my brothers and sister a jar of pickels and a letter about the rest of their gift but I hadn't gotten anything to package their gifts...enter Tulsi's gift bags!<br /><br />Everything was timely and thoughtful and I'm a grateful girl.<br /><br />Lori Lynn<br /><br />PS. I took one of the little cookie tins to hold my darning needles, stitch markers, and stitch holders! Now I have the cutest winter stitch-holder box in my knitting bag!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063940145255374581.post-77156506828150051102008-12-22T17:48:00.000-08:002008-12-07T10:18:16.905-08:00December Swapers<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1EjsD-GScM3pWb6JPQMAJGL9PhRGBy2gNvVOuxi2exdXTJ2Ggi72B66Pwlg0cVMO5aUHVJgQPaMLdFfkjWzSTz8E2AmH11vPiXEbPGVx99zdUXmOGdOtXKmkgFtUri6T3CTXqGnjh_Eqm/s1600-h/good_women1.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271667246196425570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1EjsD-GScM3pWb6JPQMAJGL9PhRGBy2gNvVOuxi2exdXTJ2Ggi72B66Pwlg0cVMO5aUHVJgQPaMLdFfkjWzSTz8E2AmH11vPiXEbPGVx99zdUXmOGdOtXKmkgFtUri6T3CTXqGnjh_Eqm/s320/good_women1.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:180%;">T</span>his will be the last swap here for awhile.....I may start this up again next fall, but not sure...when I do I will definitely email the regular swappers.

My Craft Swap partner, Bev, is so generous. What a fun, fun, fun package. I'm so excited and can't wait to do all of it. I couldn't capture it in one photo. I'll list a rundown and hope I don't forget anything. She sent a bowl full of things fun. White baby booties!! :) A baby afghan in crochet pattern book, afghan hook, lovely butter yellow soft yarn, Sugar and Cream yarn to make dishcloths from a pattern also sent, handmade dish rags, Christmas bear that Mikele will claim, 2 cute ornaments. One of them is also a cookie cutter with chocolate! Scrapbook supplies and a mini scrap book. I may have missed something since there were so many things to see. I can do some things on the way to CA in the car! Bev knows that I'm expecting a grandbaby.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Bev. I love it all.

I was really excited to have as the magazine Vogue Holiday Knits as I had only the day before been to my LYS and found it out of stock! I have fall coloured napkins and rings to put them in, leaf shaped buttons, a lovely felt colvered notebook and smelly sachet. The project is a cowl to be knit in some fabulously soft bamboo. This came complete with fall coloured stitchmarker. Thanks so much for a wonderful gift.

Sorry for the lousy picture but our camera broke and so we can't see what we're photographing. We just get surprised when we download it to the PC!<br /><br />Anyway, I received all of these things in an orange handle bag. (I love handle bags) A slate painted with Jack-O-Lanterns that says "Trick or Treat." A bag of Lindor Truffles, dark chocolate. (Dark Chocolate is my favorite!) 3 skeins of Lily Sugar 'N' Cream cotton. It is the loveliest shade of yellow, which is my favorite color. And a Lily pattern book. I want to make everything in this book. It has the neatest ideas. I'm thinking my Christmas gifts may have to wait because I must make some of those organizer bins in the book! Maybe my family will agree to celebrate Christmas late this year? <br /><br />Thanks so much, Sheila. I loved everything!<br /><br />Lori LynnUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063940145255374581.post-59575154690962040022008-11-24T06:03:00.001-08:002008-11-24T06:03:52.310-08:00Just off to the Post OfficeWith a parcel for Kaylsamazzamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11733986163904860832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063940145255374581.post-69155094163195379102008-11-23T11:04:00.000-08:002008-11-23T11:07:06.016-08:00Hi ReinaReina,<br /><br />Your wonderful package has arrived , and I just love everything!!!Thank you very much for all the lovely things you send.<br />I have been trying to post photo's but unfortunately because of our computer problems I'm not able to post them.

Everything was a Candy Corn theme, from the amigurumi pattern (for candy corn) and yarn to the Gummy Candy Corn and regular Candy Corn. There was also the cutest pair of pumpkin socks, a candy corn memo pad and an awesome autumn basket to hold it all.<br /><br />Thank you so much!Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299953875213018019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063940145255374581.post-17042610138240343352008-11-06T12:09:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:32:31.453-08:00Sign Up for November Swap<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituDMJZ5KMXnx2raw6H4gjKsF5ZynDpyCdkYnVxgf8dI_pP5EUL3gubu-AP3ViFdAkkjexcTpY4_gIOilC3Osyk3ixLL_s7TZTTdsIiA6qvriNV-Pz-_mP9ttEHMPJLXbmJJHb3zgOxJiM/s1600-h/cookedturkey.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262286446266367378" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 107px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituDMJZ5KMXnx2raw6H4gjKsF5ZynDpyCdkYnVxgf8dI_pP5EUL3gubu-AP3ViFdAkkjexcTpY4_gIOilC3Osyk3ixLL_s7TZTTdsIiA6qvriNV-Pz-_mP9ttEHMPJLXbmJJHb3zgOxJiM/s320/cookedturkey.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituDMJZ5KMXnx2raw6H4gjKsF5ZynDpyCdkYnVxgf8dI_pP5EUL3gubu-AP3ViFdAkkjexcTpY4_gIOilC3Osyk3ixLL_s7TZTTdsIiA6qvriNV-Pz-_mP9ttEHMPJLXbmJJHb3zgOxJiM/s1600-h/cookedturkey.gif"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEituDMJZ5KMXnx2raw6H4gjKsF5ZynDpyCdkYnVxgf8dI_pP5EUL3gubu-AP3ViFdAkkjexcTpY4_gIOilC3Osyk3ixLL_s7TZTTdsIiA6qvriNV-Pz-_mP9ttEHMPJLXbmJJHb3zgOxJiM/s1600-h/cookedturkey.gif"></a><br /><br /><div><div><div><strong><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="font-size:180%;">It's</span> that time again to sign up for the November Swap.

Sarah Josepha Hale, an editor with a magazine, started a Thanksgiving campaign in 1827 and it was result of her efforts that in 1863 Thanksgiving was observed as a day for national thanksgiving and prayer. Abraham Lincoln issued a '<a href="http://www.thanksgivingnovember.com/abraham-lincolns-thanksgiving-proclamation.html">Thanksgiving Proclamation</a>' on third October 1863 and officially set aside the last Thursday of November as the national day for Thanksgiving. Whereas earlier the presidents used to make an annual proclamation to specify the day when Thanksgiving was to be held. President Franklin D. Roosevelt restored Thursday before last of November as Thanksgiving Day in the year 1939. He did so to make the Christmas shopping season longer and thus stimulate the economy of the state. Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird of the United States. But it was Thomas Jefferson who opposed him. It is believed that Franklin then named the male turkey as 'tom' to spite Jefferson. $1 is the average cost per pound in of a frozen whole turkey.<br />The long fleshy skin that hangs over a turkey's beak is called a snood.<br />The color of a wild turkey's naked head and neck area can change blue when mating.<br />Male turkeys are nicknamed "toms" while females are called "hens."<br />When turkeys reach maturity they can have as many as 3,500 feathers!<br />Faster than a speeding bullet--Wild turkeys can run up to 55 miles an hour! so ladies don't try to catch one for this year as he might out run you!
