I only sold 2 this past weekend. I can't believe it. Lots of people commented on how much so and so loves the books or how obsessed so and so is but no one bought them a pendant I still have a show coming up maybe that one will be better.

thanks Su~ how do I go about finding pictures? Just surf the web?

Hello! Thanks for the congrats! I'm really excited....

Today was just a rough day @ work. My headaches were terrible, I was wearing my new glasses I got 3 months ago (finally huh?) well I took them over to SHopko @ lunch and their optical dept (which is where I had the exam) said the optical center was off by at least 5mm. Which is pretty significant. So I called up the place where I got them, they said they could re-do them same night if I got there by 4:30, my friend Melody (bless her heart!) took me there right after work, got in, and then they were done at 6:40. My parents picked me up in between. Since I had 2 hours, I went next door to Babies "R" Us and got all of Tavi's Christmas goodies from Auntie It was so FUN shopping for her even though I could only see 20/200 LOL!

Audrey lets set a date, I know joy said she wants to go if she can arrange it we need to give her 1 1/2 wks ahead of time to plan

Sandye have a safe trip we will be thinking of you as you work on all your cards up in the mountains. stay warm!

Michelle, checked out your card love it!

Just give me a date and I should be able to make it work!

[WAstamper]

[tammy miller]

Sandye You are the great traveler, do you have a tues coming up that we can try to plan????

[daiseyfreak]

yes, I'd love to get together. I'm supposed to be off Tuesdays, but schedule a few clients, so just need notice to not schedule them or reschedule them

[daiseyfreak]

I hope Kristi and her family is ok...the hanna site still isn't open, and saw there were some questions on the forum about it

when I got the pm that I won November's challenge, the hostess said it may take a while for Kristi to get back with me. Prayer for Kristi and her family if she needs it!

I could do December 1 or 8 or any Tuesday in January. Tammy, basically you know that I am home when school is IN session! In November, it just worked out that I had a dentist appointment and a haircut.

Thank you to all who have given me congrats on making the Inktegrity DT. Y'all are the best!!! I am so honored to be part of the Ho's.

I lurk on this thread a lot... read every post, every day... but seldom comment. Maybe I should do that more.

Y'all are the best!!!

[chrispy1778]

Good morning, my lovely Hos!

Has anyone looked at the calendar?? There's officially less than 30 days left until 'D Day'... YIKES!!!
Can't I have Black Friday WITHOUT Christmas???

Raleigh Durham Airport (RDU) - It's updated on the 1st post. I can't wait to see all my Ho's!

The hotels I've been checking out vary in distance to the airport. The further away ones, have no shuttles, but have better prices per room. The closest one to the airport have shuttles, but has limited availability, and no facilities for the SBS. I'm not at all worried about picking up Ho's at the airports! The airport is relatively small and a whole lot easier to navigate than Newark Airport!! I am also looking into renting a larger passenger van for the day we take you to the super-de-duper stamp store that Lisa mentioned. I'll see what I can do! I'm always up to a great deal hunt!

[urscrappymama]

Congrats to Jeanette, LJ, Tammy and Gabby on your DT spots! You all rocked and truly deserve them! Woohoo!

I'm officially a 'maybe'. I'll forgo a laptop if Ward will OK a plane ticket!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!! I need Wards cell number...Does he tolerate 'stalking' well?

Yeah! That too! Just look for the most flamboyantly dressed 'Ho Taxi' drivers!

[urscrappymama]

Michele! Lovin' the cards! Hope you are feelin' better!

I will keep that in mind, in the event that he gets too whiny.

He's REALLY REALLY codependent.

I was supposed to go to Utah earlier this year to hook up with Danielle and Misty. Crap fell through on our end due to the broken bathroom and the family drama (which squashed Ohio too), but he was a giant arse about the whole process... sulking and fits that would impress a five year old.
Doesn't even like me going away for more than few hours of a day trip.

So I'm trying. There's no safety net for him of our annual July events, and if I am willing to refrain from getting my own 'puter to get to go, the only obstacle in theory should be wherever Chris is working.
Lots of his trade is across the state right now, or across the country. If either of those happens I'm home bound for sure.

But I'm not giving up - especially when some of my friends are transferring down to the Raleigh police force. My former chief is the chief there, and he's up here headhunting right now, due to our layoffs. Dolan knows what a good crop he's picking from, and the people are willing to return their former awesome boss.

Hey girlies! I made an ornament last night and I am just loving it, so I thought I would share!

I may actually drive down... done it before can do it again... It depends on DH, we might make a vacation out of it, and he'll just hangout elsewhere for a couple of days.... so I may have my car ( hopefully an upgrade by then- we're probably going to buy the honda Pilot soon)

Tell me about it!

[hippieaud]

Michele, sorry you are not feeling well, that stinks! Meanwhile, your tree swap plus TAC goodies came back to me b/c not enough postage - I guesstimated when I mailed it out. Going back to the PO after I pick up the kiddos and will get it back out to you. Sorry.

That's fine Audrey, it happens.

I can't wait to get the TAC white paper. I really like to use it as a card base because it's nice and thick, it's not the best for copics because it uses a lot of ink- but perfect for simple card base! I've gone through so much of it I only have 1 sheet left! I'm glad more is on the way

[FaieeMom]

HOLA CHICAS! Just dropping in real quick to say HI! OMG you guys...I got my stamps for the December release and they are UBBER cute! If you're into woodland animals (ahem...Forest...ahem) you will love these! I'll be posting the first sneak peek on the 27th...when we'll all be recovering from Thanksgiving comas...lol. So make sure to check out The Greeting Farm peekies!

ALSO...and be completely honest. This is the picture I submitted to all 3 DT's I'm gonna be on as my profile pic...tell me what you think. Jasper told me last night he loved it...but of course he's a bit biased since he's my cold but warm vamp that loves me to no end...lol. Hey...a girl can live in a fantasy world.

BTW...to all my sickie Ho's...GET WELL SOON!

Smoochers!

[tammy miller]
