    YOU can join - something in an envelope can easily be sent. We also have peeps in Europe who are close . . . don't let the cost sway you - even a card is something very, very special at this time of year.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I'm sorry IrisGirl. I saw your post, and though I like the idea of maybe trying a swap, I just have way, way, way too much on my plate right now. Maybe try your post again later?

    April, I am so sorry I did not see your post sooner. I would be more than happy to swap a mug rug or ornament. You did hit a nerve though. Our little piece of Heaven is NOT the same as it used to be. I think it can be again, but it will take time. There were a lot of hurt feelings, and things said and done, or not done, that left a bad taste in some peoples mouths. There are hundreds of new members that don't chime in much. Let's start it from here. We WILL get our forum back to where it was. Maybe we should e-mail some of the used to be regulars to get it going.

    I didn't see the post either, I'm so sorry. I've got more on my plate than I can do right now. I've made more plans than I can probably do at an even pace before Christmas and I've been giving away my Christmas ornaments and decorations as we try to downsize this house. I wish you all luck. It is fun to get something in the mail. Sounds like fun. I'll be your best cheerleader!!!!

    I have never participated in a swap of any kind. My life is too busy with caregiving a husb. in poor health & all the responsibilities I have of taking care of our household. My sewing time is limited, & it goes mostly for baby quilts for the new moms at my church. I seldom look at posts about swaps b/c I know I won't be participating. JCY

    I too am sorry you are sad.....Today I looked for a swop.....I wanted to participate in a Christmas swop.
    I used to belong to another forum and they offered a Christmas swop....basically you had to put together a little wish list of things you would like and that was passed onto another member and they would get you something off it plus a few other bits.
    I live in the uk so it was wonderful to get something from America.....would so love to do something like this here but like so many I do not have the time to organise something quite so grand.....but happy to try something smaller.
    By the way....I loved the other forum until I had my first grandchild and posted a picture of him with a quilt I had made...it was removed from the main discussion as I had commented more on my grandson than the quilt I had made.........I am so glad that this forum is so well balanced.....I love sewing but I love people too....and I hate the thought that someone is sad because no one replied

    .......anyone fancy doing a Christmas needle case exchange.....? I'm not sure how to go about starting a swop but I'd be prepared to try and organise it if I were allowed
