Christmas Swap 2014 Sign up

Babette, I am crocheting elf slippers for my grandbabies! And my daughter, son, and DIL. Plus, I have so much more to do! LOL

Baby shower is over! I would have like to have beheaded my sister, but I didn't want to go to jail. She did not show up to help me decorate... got here an hour early with guests, then left to go get the cake and said, "Don't start the shower without me!" When we were taking pictures, she was behind us trying to make gestures with her hands behind out heads...did not help me clean up! UGH! I just keep telling myself that I did it for my niece, and not for my sister! I did get a "Thank You!" I'm just glad I've made holiday plans without her! It's like she has to be the center of attention! Ok, I'm done!

got my plants covered outside. Supposed to get down to 36 with a light frost. The rest of the week is warmer, so I'll be able to get the plants in the sunroom then.

You all have a good night! ♥

I am sooooo blessed, my Sister is my best friend and can be absolutely counted on. It breaks my heart that every woman does not have that same blessing.

I would love to join the swap. I am not fussy. Like everything except for raspberry stuff. Love, love love, caramels tho. Lol. Dark chocolate, white and milk are all fine too. Hummingbirds are fun. Love to feed the birds too. They are really chowing down the food right now. Even something for my new DGD would be so wonderful. This will be her first Christmas. Am looking forward to this will be a blast. Ronna

Pat, my sister and I used to be best friends. I was maid of honor at both of her weddings, we spent all our weekends together, shopping, cooking, playing with our children. But things changed when she divorced her second husband and I took care of my Dad for 11 months before he passed. I have tried to do things to brings us closer, like having the baby shower for my niece (which I would have done anyway because no one else bothered to host one). But once again, it blew up in my face! But my niece had a great shower and I am thankful for that.

NOTE: THE SIGN-UP ENDS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5th, AND NAMES ON NOVEMBER 6th. I guess I looked at the wrong date on the calendar (DUH)! IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE A LIST, PLEASE MAKE ONE OR JUST SAY THAT ANYTHING YOUR BUDDY SENDS IS FINE.
