I appreciate the time and effort that you have spent since launching the site. It was not always easy or fun. I will truely miss being apart of the group and miss those in the group. Some I know only slightly and others on a more personal level. Debb, I hope that after the new year you will resume the site. But the most important thing is for you to get the rest and destress that you need. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">For everyone else I would just like to say it has been a pleasure being assoicated with you. I wish you all the best that life has to offer and hope to keep in contact with you. Until then.....</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">Michelle</span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00789021531568858795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913467639946190027.post-22590353082245120802008-11-22T09:11:00.001-08:002008-11-22T09:12:24.099-08:00Attention<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOQviU6ZA4yop9VNur0_itPRIvo5bWpkwDDSIPQMmFF6nmrV2GsgkvU4503aF8dN_P_nKGFjMHnTVuyZdvEk1n2AHV1UZ9BjKxJY1lFDAAiNvNlLuSZBvN3NigAzOFP3aResaNMPQRhxl/s1600-h/!cid_1F2EDF2A-21B3-45C7-AE51-61756B4F65B8.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271530899835254946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 80px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 57px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisOQviU6ZA4yop9VNur0_itPRIvo5bWpkwDDSIPQMmFF6nmrV2GsgkvU4503aF8dN_P_nKGFjMHnTVuyZdvEk1n2AHV1UZ9BjKxJY1lFDAAiNvNlLuSZBvN3NigAzOFP3aResaNMPQRhxl/s320/!cid_1F2EDF2A-21B3-45C7-AE51-61756B4F65B8.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">P</span></strong>lease see that we have had a drop out of the swappers in Nov...and partners have been changed....Thank you</div>DaCraftyLadyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00073025829562487883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913467639946190027.post-50400757099379265042008-11-16T07:00:00.000-08:002008-11-16T07:29:12.817-08:00October swap pic<span style="color:#ff6600;">Please forgive not having a picture, seems blogger doesn't want to upload my picture. I wanted to apologize to Patricia my partner for not getting this posted before now. She sent such a wonderful package. Of course the candy corn was at the very top of my list. I love the stuff. A candle that you could just eat up. The cutest headband with flying bats on top. 3 great books that, I have started reading one of--the Anne Perry one, the book by Kathey Reichs-Grave Secrets, can't wait to read and last but not least a really spooky one The Book of the Supernatural.<span style="color:#ff6600;"> EEEK!!!!</span> She has so sent a pair of socks with Yes Snoopy and they are so warm. And a pretty oven mitt in fall colors. Such a wonderful swap partner.
