JustCallMeAnna Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Oi, and I tend to be one of those people that finds that special something and wonders where in the world it came from! I should've known better, shame on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjsome Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thank you! And so true, I love when I find an item, with someone's intials and a date, it shows someone worked hard, and with pride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 A minor hiccup, one part didn't set as I wanted so yesterday I redid four of the accessories and am now hopefully keeping fingers crossed on the right track. Need 24 hours more before actually knowing.... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I got JustCallMeAnna's package. I haven't opened it yet so it doesn't get dusty over the next couple of weeks. (I can put your initials and date it if you want). As far as packaging, it's up to you. I ask they be wrapped individually, but whether you put a name on each is up to you. I photo each item. I keep a lot of notes on who I talk to, what they send, when it's sent, how postage is paid. After I know everyone has received and opened their gifts, then I post a photo or two of each one.

JustCallMeAnna Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It'd be too much of a hassle to unwrap them all! I'm just going to chuck it up this time as a lesson learned for next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbharrington Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'm so frustrated! I have made these things so many times with no problem, now all of the sudden my glue is acting stupid, so I think I'm going to have to redo half of my sets Oh well, I have plenty of uses for the "not so perfect" ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It is in the mail last second too as we will be off travelling for a couple of weeks as of tomorrow. (Will take pics, promise Holly!) have been ranking it easy a couple of days as the head ache from He-double hockey sticks, made it self comfortable accompanying me last Wednesday and have been slowly subsiding since Friday. Oh well, almost gone now,yay! hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Anna, I used to get migraines that over the years eventually subsided into painless loss of vision briefly in one eye or the other. Strong black coffee would clear those suckers up, otherwise it was a dark room, quiet and wait for however long it took to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These head aches are a sliver left from my bout of meningits some 15 years ago, a pain and often triggered by to much to do, to little time and well, with a new job and everything involved with that no surprising really, but a bother... Much better now, am all packed and ready to go. Just a little housework left and then I can twiddle My thumbs ;) hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
