Yes please, I would love to be able to rejoin, I just had some major life things going in my family.  Things are starting to look better and I want to come back. 

checking in, almost done with the large and some of the small, still working on it, but having fun!  Have the office swap due on saturday so chances are i won't get much time to work on this till monday, but i'm pretty on track.

I didn't make my monday deadline as planned, but will get it out by saturday I promise, going to be (hopefully) finishing my large tonight, got the smalls done and had a couple purchased items.  I love this swap I just put on the dvds and start crafting!

OMG I feel like such a slacker now.... I fished my smalls this weekend and spent my day off yesterday staring at the supplies for my large afraid to work on it.... It's one of those things I have never attempted before.  I'll get some courage this week and finish it out though, my goal is to send by the 4th (hubby's 30th bday is friday so it'll be a busy weekend with his party) I have to give myself a deadline though because I am a master procrastinator

just checking in, still alive here, though looks like I haven't been the only one to have plagues hit my household.  About 85% done with my large, look a little longer than expected because I didn't like the original and started over (a very common thing for me) and working on my other items. 

thanks for all the nice comments!  I've bene so busy with swaps and other projects that i haven't had a chance to get back to this post to thank everyone.  I do get a little smile everytime I webcam chat with my friend who recieved this and I see he's wrapped up in it (his room is very cold) reminds me that it wasn't all a waste of time and energy

went and got my supplies and I've got a 3+ hour car ride on snuadya to outside boston that I will be able to do some crafting on, can't wait!

I know I am also rather sad about the will ferral addition (my coworkers, all male) have been arguing with me over it because I am devestated.    In addition I am still alive and crafting, I have a couple purchased items, and have all my other ideas planned out it's just been a struggle to find a chance to get the time to craft them.  Also I have been searching high and low for the thing I need for my large item with very little luck, still a work in progress, but I'm loving it.  I think this might be my absolute favorite swap  

I have been super excited about this swap!  I get to repay roseyposie for my super awesome schrute buck from the bookmark swap!  Just getting a chance to fill out part two of the questionaire..... deffinately beats working this afternoon.


1)  Do you cook?  If so, do you use recipies?   Do you own a George Forman grill?  Do you use it?   I love cooking but don't have nearly enough time to do it, yes I just got a george forman for christmas from my mom!  I have yet to attempt bacon.. or my foot on it, though we do spread country crock on everything in our house 

2)  Do you like to snack?  If so, what are your favorite types/kinds of snack foods?  Herr's Chips! though not salt and vinigar.. yuck I also enjoy getting items off dwights desk from the vending machine.. I would love a nice new pencil cup!

3)  Do you work in an office?  yes, and my co worker and I actually mapped out who everyone in our office is relating to the show's characters..... and I sit next to dwight!! all day... he actually checks the roof of our office for snippers on mornings when he opens (we work in a credit union.)

4)  Do you have any children?  Especially an infant or young toddler?  nope, jsut four kitties who are almost as needy and spoiled as kids.  I do however have a stockpile of baby clothes stashed in a storage bin for "someday"

5)  Do you work as an accountant, a receptionist, a salesman/saleswoman, manager, assistant to the regional manager   (hee-hee), human resources, customer services?  my official title is Sales & Service Consultant... it's a fancy name for being a loan officer but I guess it would qulaify me as a saleswoman

6)  Are you engaged?  Recently married?  I got married 9/13/09

7)  Do you have a garden?  Or a farm?  I tried to garden.. I have a sad plant in my office that I forget to water a lot (the "jim" in my office takes care of it for me) ... also I occasionally sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk.. smells like death, but very nutricious

  Do you like to dance? only when i happen to wander by cafe disco 

9)  Do you drink coffee/tea? I'm too picky with my coffee (must be dunkin donuts) but I do love lemon tea

10)  Do you go out to eat?  If so, where/what is your favorite type of food?  I wish I could say chili's since shili's is the new golf course... but I'm normally more into chinese food 

loving this sooo much, I've got my list of ideas and I will be heading to the store tomorrow (payday) to gather supplies and spend my weekend off crafting!
