Names have gone out from Admin, so no one knows who each other has.
Sorry for delay, between broken computers and work, I totally forgot to let dd know to do this. Yes, hers is one of the broken computers -- as writer she backs up often, but had been 'in the zone' for about 8 hours when crisis one happened. However, all the protections worked as they should and after a few hours of downloads using a tv for video and spare keyboards and really unique wiring setups - her stuff was fine! Then some family issues and planning to handle and the my week of busy started and until this am I had totally not been remembering.

post three colors/themes you like to use Themes/colors - animals/outdoors/family colors - neutrals/primary brights/earth tones Non-scrappy ideas: Any particular candies you like/dislike? favorites: dark chocolate - or banana laffy taffy - due to food plan these days - I need to avoid regular chocolate as it just makes me crave more. Do you decorate with Santa items or general winter or avoid decorating? I do both Santa items or winter items. Winter items stay up all season. BTW - while I love scented candles like vanilla, pine or lavender, I do not care for fruit scents. a few scrappy items/ideas on your wish-list -did this at kids request - posting here as well - it was kind of fun thinking of this - makes me remember drooling through the Sears Toys Christmas catalog as a kid - I don't think I ever got anything off my list, and never cared that I didn't; but we spent hours thinking and talking about the possibilities! 1-foam with cling backing - the kind you use for backs of rubber stamps - self stick foam with cling on one side 2-glue dots or score tape 3-round shape greeting stamp - happy birthday, thank you or something general. 4-spellbinders or sizzix tool for using with intricut dies - looks kind of like a roller chimney sweep brush on one end - I saw on a video and not sure what they are called or even what price range they are in 5-embellishments - any sort, but lately I like using the self stick flat back pearls or flat back rhinestones 6-blank tags - either standard or large size 7-those label refills for the old type label gun - that impresses the letter on and you turn the dial to pick the letter - any color 8-recollections paper packs in black or white 9-wink of stella brush glitter marker - any color but silver/gray 10-theme/season buttons

Very good idea, Lucinda! Ok, for me: Non scrappy: please no candy. I also like scented candles, especially green (not red) Bayberry, pine, no Christmas cookies, fruit or peppermint. I had something else on my brain but..poof...it's gone. I could use a box of small thank you cards or blank cards. I also Love Spearmint Eucalyptus lotion from Bath & Body Works Scrappy: I like the traditional Christmas colors of greens and reds- not much for the "off" colors--can't think right now. I EDITED THIS!- see below I hope this is what is wanted Scrappy gift ideas: 3 Colors/themes: It's complicated! My scrap list includes: ---cruise to the Bahamas 2014. I have some Caribbean paper left over, but not much. I combine with Irish because it was with Celtic Thunder. ---Loreena McKennett concert 2014, then 3 from this past October but I'm not going to go nuts with this year. **---Pope Visit this past September---I have nothing for that **---I need Homecoming paper/cs for Junior and Senior year if my Secret Santa can get it. (Or if anyone else can point me in the right direction). I know I went over the 3, but just choose whatever. I'm just listing ideas I decorate with a combination of Religious for celebrating the actual reason for the day: The Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I also have some winter theme. Artificial winter flowers in 2 vases on the mantel stay up all winter but everything else comes down after the holiday. Kathi

Lucinda please thank your daughter for sending out the names.
In regards to the questions- my plan for this swap was to keep it simple, but since reguested here are my answers- colors - any but neon themes-can use most any themes as I decades worth of photos to scrap. I rarely use Halloween though. Candy -very dark chocolate and good and plenty decorations- I usually to Christmas over winter. This year I am going very retro! Bottom line- I like surprises!!!

I agree with simple, but wanted some help in figuring colors and such. I actually have several scrappy friends to buy gifts for, so wanted to see if there was anything in particular to avoid as sales have begun!

Once you have mailed your package, please post here that it has shipped. do not post here when you receive your package so as it is not easy to figure out who has who until all packages have been received. Please do send a PM to whom ever sent you a package so that they do know it has arrived

My package is on the sled.

Post by unforgettable on Dec 15, 2015 15:56:31 GMT -6
My package is by the front door all boxed up, waiting for the sled. I have smelled gas in my car several times, so I took it in today. That was at 11:45. It's now 4:54 and the shuttle service shuts at 5. Oh, boy. I have to work tomorrow and I have no car. Service shuts at 6:30 so I have time. But I can't walk the 2-3 miles to the car dealership. The sled will have to operate on Thursday in the rain.

To my secret giftee - I am sorry, but this hasn't gone out. I spaced that Secret Santa bag was sitting with swaps. It should arrive before Christmas, but unfortunately, I do not think by the 20th.
