Simply Series- Home and Family- Ornament Exchange 08 Edition

Here's a picture of the ornament Ronda made for me in last year's exchange. It's a family ornament for the family from my first book. What an amazing keepsake!

Ellen

I absolutely loved mine last year. We had so much fun with the exchange!!

{{{{Rae}}}}  Get better soon.  I haven't received an email response yet, but I will look for it. Or you can let me know here that you got my email

Got the email Rae  Hope you are feeling better.

Donna these exchanges are really fun, glad you decided to join!  I sign up for three of them

OK, Rae, by means of my fiendishly clever computer brain - OK, OK, I hit a lot of random buttons! - I found what you were talking about and you can count me in. Can't promise to come up with anything to match the other gals but I'll give it my best shot!

A Baby for Eve out in October

Should I have got one?  I've looked im my spam and bulk boxes but can't see anything

Maggie Kingsley

Nope, didn't get it, Rae. I think the problem is that when I updated my profile I missed out the dot between the maggie and the kingsley, but when I go into My Profile to change it I go on this constant loop of being asked to choose the US State in which I live, and to supply a zip code, and I don't live in the US, so I'm just going round and round in circles. Any idea how I can get this sorted?

Is signing up for the forums different to signing in to eHarl, Rae? You see, when I first signed up I gave my email addie, and got a user name, and I don't remember needing to give an address, so I'm wondering now if I'm trying to log into the wrong part of the site - maybe I'm trying to sign in to the bit where you can buy books? - and that's why it won't let me change my email address. I told you I was a techie twit. If all else fails, just email me direct at maggie.kingsley@btinternet.com and that will definitely get to me.

Have the emails been sent yet?  I didn't receive mine yet.

Thanks! 

I received my name for the exchange; will get it out ASAP.

I just wanted to know if for some reason I didn't receive the email. There is no need to rush.

If need be, I can send my ornament to someone in another country.   

Rae, it shouldn't matter if you have an 'odd' number.  Everyone sends to one person, not themselves -- nothing to match up.  This was not done in pairs -- the person that you sent an ornmanet to was not the person who sent you one.  I can understand your struggles if you are trying to pair everyone up -- there is no need for that.

Hey Rae, got my email  Will probably get it sent within the next week or so!

Got mine, Rae!  Oooh, but this is exciting, though I should warn everyone that my craft skills are...... minimal.  I can still remember the time when I was twelve and we had to knit a pair of gloves for school. Well, those darned gloves took soooo long to knit that I started tugging at the fingers to make them longer. It worked, too. So I duly took my gloves in, and everyone else in my class did, too, and then the teacher said she'd take them home and wash them in preparation for parents' night.  Well, can you guess what happened?  My gloves shrank. Right back to the size they would have been if I hadn't kept tugging them so they resembled cow's udders. And the rat fink teacher put them on display along with everyone else's. Still haven't forgiven her for that

I made it yesterday and will get it out over the next week. I hope my recipient likes it! It's not as fancy as the one Ronda made for Ellen, which is completely amazing! But it's handmade and I did enjoy making it, and hope the person who gets it will like it as well...

Thanks for coordinating, Rae,

Sam

Mine are going to go out a few days late. I meant to go buy them this past weekend and forgot. So now I'm waiting till payday on Friday to go bu them.

Mine will be out today. :)

Sam 

as am still working on it plus waiting for our check. Cheryl

Sorry about the delay, Rae, but my PO is only open Monday-Thursdays between 9-10.30 now because of cut backs. And you'll all be relieved to hear I didn't make it!

Maggie Kingsley

I sent out three ornaments and heard back from two.  I hope the third gets to it's home.  The post office tracking still shows it in Hilo Hawaii!

I'm so glad you like it. That was only the second one I made that way, and I thought it was cute. :)

There's a story behind the little jingle bell I attached. My sister was going through a lot of stuff in a big credenza at my parents house, and came across some of my mom's sewing things and found a handful of those little bells as well as some other things, and she gave them to me, and I thought, what will I do with these little bells? LOL But they were my mom's, so I kept them. That little bell is probably about twenty years old. ;)

Enjoy the book, too. :)

Sam

Thanks Jeannie! It's so cute and I love the dangling glass balls on my snow man. Can't wait to hang it on my tree!

I plan to mail mine this weekend. I need to get a couple more little things to add to them then I'll get them mailed.
