SSCS update...........

Hi everyone...............

Finally I have finished sending out all the 107 emails..........so check your in box (or spam) and make sure you reply to the email i sent. Very important so i know you got my email with your swap partners details.

if you want to find out something "specific" from your partner shoot me an email and I can find out and get back to you..................

Now for a treat BECAUSE you don't usually see anything til Christmas time and you can't show on your blogs until you know they are received and opened...........BUT this is one of the Christmas ornaments some lucky person will receive.............I can't tell you who has made it that will spoil the surprise but a very cute handmade Christmas ornament............

Bugger bugger..........no power........no bad storms etc just another break down in the system...........went off just before midnight and just came back on about 1/2 hr ago so I am delayed in sending out emails as I usually get on the net early in the morning..........

You should see the shirt my boy had to wear to school today.....I didn't have any ironed and if you picture the most scrunched up creased cotton shirt that was it..........should have ironed them last night..........

If anyone is interested in a swap Paula at Coffee Time Stitches is hosting a swap...........I don't think she has hosted a swap for a while but I have done several swaps with Paul in the past and had lots of fun so if f you'd like to join

email Paula (coffeetimestitches at comcast dot net) 

and she will fill you in on the details.....

SSCS partners

Hi SSCS participants

I am starting to send out partners so keep an eye on your inbox and I will post again here once I have finished sending the 100+ emails out.

Remember it is a secret and keep it in a safe place.

Have fun "stalking" your partners blogs.

As approx 70 of the swappers have been in the SSCS before and many several times so if I have matched you up with someone you have had previously email me ASAP so I can see if I can change it around.

 

In the mean time while your waiting go and check out some of the links for participants..........added the last 20 last night so check them out............

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
