Amazing all the little things one has to do to make the snowman come alive. Lol

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

What a sweetheart you are to think of Sean this way. He will be here one day this week and I'll have to show him that he is included!!!! LOL

Victoria Harbour, ON

I will be sad when time comes that Sean isn't into joining us Barb, same as Kyle and Noah..thought I'd call over and see if I can book them one evening or one Sunday afternoon..they may want to do something for the gals in their lives..NOT

Was looking for you all at clean up time last night..lol

Tonight they will be put into their wrappings so please if there are any unusual shipping instructions or something you would like me to include let me know

even found a project MAYBE for our 8th Annual project

I really like that star!!!

Victoria Harbour, ON

same kind of design and lighting was done in form of a mitt..I really liked it but the girl just in front of me bought it so took the star..likely I'd do the mitt, easier for posting

OMG haven't mailed this year's project and I'm talking about next

Lanakila, received your envelope today
thank you kindly!

Betty, I went tnough the past projects and am so impressed. I thought I would like to try the santa, however I am intemidated by it. Lol....maybe one day..

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

I'm intimidated by the idea of painting stuff, I suck at that.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Don't worry ladies, Betty will guide us step by step.

(thunder)Wildwood, FL(Zone 9a)

star is awesome !! mail headed your way tomorrow Betty.

Victoria Harbour, ON

do you mean the Victorian Santa or Santa on the sleigh..

nobody should ever be intimidated...nope don't be..

one step closer, have all the envelopes made up, tonight Rita will help me set the kits inside..I'm so going to miss her when she moves..

Humm.. Victorian Santa. Have notgotten to the Santa on Sleigh. Yet...lol

Victoria Harbour, ON

Was our 1st workshop

Betty.. I have a hardtime finding all the workshops from my phone. But I will look at it today... It is too cold in the hoise except huddle down and read DG on my phone today. As long as I stay in the one good spot to get a signal I am good...lol

Victoria Harbour, ON

enjoy, they were all fun swaps and it's nice to look at the finished projects..I always get such a sense of accomplishment seeing everything made especially from those who said 'I can't do that' lol

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
I so want to do thes santa on a sleigh!!!!

Everyone did such a beautiful job too!!!

I bet my Goober would love to do this too. Where do I find the Santas???
On to read the next project!!

Victoria Harbour, ON

I will try and remember to throw a few santa's in the kit for you both!

Fayetteville, AR(Zone 7b)

Betty I'm here and still in and I'll mail you a check tomorrow for $25!!!!

I'm glad we're doing this, the sleigh was the only year I missed. Not to mention my Victorian Santa needs repaired, he seems to have lost his head. And the last 2 years I've meant to do the projects but with all the goings ons with the divorce and moving 5 times in 7 months they are sitting in my attic in the boxes Betty shipped them. I don't really have a place to craft here at the house yet, but instead of putting my car in the garage I think I'll buy a big fold up crafting table instead.

(Pat) Kennewick, WA(Zone 5b)

Ya, a parking garage if WAY over-rated compared to a place to CRAFT!! LOL

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

So glad to see you Crissy. We are happy that things are working out for you. I'm off to check out your work site!!

(thunder)Wildwood, FL(Zone 9a)

crissy ^_^ so nice to see you popping in here and there !!!

Morning everyone..

again another 5:30pm bedtime but did get up extra early and packaged all the kits..lordy
kept going 'one of these, two of those, two etc. need this, need that then tape up the package and ask myself was all included...

so to make things easier think I put victorian santa fabric in all kits, those who don't want to try the sleighs or want to use them up just throw them away.

then I'd say, did I put socks? made a little hole in the bag, couldn't see, pushed another set in, few rope shoe bows, few I glued to back of packages and a few santa's taped to back of packages so it will be amazing if you all get everything..nothing major missing though, let's hope!


they will be flying out on Saturday morning..some packages usually beat me home

Morning all..
boss (BIL) said we might want to leave at 1:00 rather than 3:00pm today to miss traffic..
that being said and all goes well crossing the border we should make it to a post office before it closes..so look for a snowman on your doorstep early week

(Pat) Kennewick, WA(Zone 5b)

How cool!! that is such a beautiful project.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Looking forward to getting your package Betty.

Victoria Harbour, ON

Wouldn't you know, got here early enough to post packages and post office was on fire!

Have to find another tomorrow morning

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

Hmmmm seems there's a message there.

Huh...... Seriously?????

How bizzare,, and funny...

Cocoa Beach, FL(Zone 10a)

I've been following along and recently learned an interesting fact about the US post office. If you mail using a recycled liquor store box and it has any bar coding on it , it can not go by air, only by ground. this is a FAA regulation. The snowman project is very cute, can't wait to see the results. My next project will be my Christmas tree shower curtain. No doubt Betty you'll use your panel before I'll get to mine.

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

Boy, you are up early Mittsy!!!
Sure hope there weren't any Christmas packages at that PO!!!!!
I'll be watching for a package.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

When I use a box of any kind that has markings on it, I have been told I need to use a marker and cross through it. Other wise it may be directed to another address!

Victoria Harbour, ON

Glad you are following along in our workshop Christmas festivities Mittsy!

Snowmen have now started their travels to each and everyone one of you..met with Debbie so she got hers hand delivered..

Many of you know I'm going through difficult times, both my health issues and that of stepfather of 43 years who fell I'll this past month and now terminal but rest assured you snowman soon will be displayed in your homes.

(Barb) Manchester, NH(Zone 5a)

Bless you Betty. Our prayers continue for both Jim and your Mom and most assuredly for you.
You push and push so much to help others that when you need your strength it is gone. Please nap as much as you can dear one.....

Betty,,, take care of yourself and your family. We can all wait til you feel better if needed.

((((((((((((( BETTY ))))))))))))))

Maryville, TN(Zone 7a)

We sure can. It's a snowman and the snow is gonna be around for a while.
