WI * Friendship, WI Swap ~ 2nd Annual

[Robyn O]

Had a great MOJO weekend. Did my WOW, Jr Legal Pads and almost finished my ABC's. STill working out the Shoe Box part, but should have that by next weekend. Haven't had anything stamping for a long time and next month I have something on the 9th (SU Regional in Mke), the 17th (A Year of Cards) and 24th (Friendship). It will be so much fun to see everyone again.

Asking for prayers for my Mom. I took her to the doctor on Tuesday afternoon and had her admitted to the hospital that evening. Today, they finally found that she appears to have a bacterial infection and will have a CT scan tomorrow to try and nail it down. I've been staying with her during the day keeping track of what is being done. Once they can identify exactly what bacteria it is, then can determine the course of treatment. Mom is 83 (84 in July). Please pray that they figure out the culprit and that the treatment works.

Oh Robyn, I'm sorry to hear the news - you & mom are in my prayers.

So sorry Robin, will keep her in my prayers. Diane D.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and thought s for my Mom. They all helped. After spending week going through test after test, she was released Friday afternoon. They found out on Friday that the bacteria was e-coli, but that we caught it early. She is on antibotics twice a day for 10 days. We were both so worn out that we went to bed early last night and are just resting today. I even had to take a nap, something I haven't had to do a very long time. I'm now catching up on the computer and then will do a little stamping.

Thanks again everyone.

I am very pleased with how my ABC items turned out...hope you all will also. Wow and Jr. Legal Pads are done. Only have to finish up the swap cards. Then wait patiently until the Swap.

Just found this, is it too late to join?

[melv]

:(sorry your too late for this one but there is one in Jackson this JUNE and there will be one in Hartford this August. We will have another one up here next April. Maybe you can come then or we may see you at one of the others.

[brendade]

Thanks for letting me know. I wish I would have seen it earlier, but will definately look into the swap in Jackson. Thanks again.

[Robyn O]

Finished all my items and packed them up so I'm ready for Saturday. Was nice to see several at Year of Cards yesterday and looking forward to more next Saturday.

Today was wonderful! Thanks, Mel and everyone for the creative ideas and beautiful work. I can't wait to get started on getting my ideas rolling for June's Shoebox in Jackson and August's Hartford Shoebox! The place that we talked about for tins and bottles is www.specialtybottle.com. Their discounts are by quantity so if a bunch of us are interested, we should place one large order and split the shipping cost.

[melv]

Thank you so much to everyone that came to the swap, all of your wonderful projects and even help with the clean up. Such a GREAT group of women! Stampers are the nicest people:grin::grin:

I was already checking and bookmarking some of the new websites that ladies told me about and planning out projects for the Hartford Swap. My hubby was "you promised to clean the house once this swap was over", so I have to do that first.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE AGAIN!!!!!!

Mel

[Robyn O]

One again a fantastic swap. Had a great time renewing friendships and making new ones. Love all the fantastic new ideas and items I came home with. Hope to do again next year.

Thanks Mel for another great one.

[dianevey]

Hey, ladies - I think I found where we can get the wine containers from that you all saw at Friendship. If we order at least 5 of them, it's free shipping. The lady at Polka Dots in Mukwonago told me they had been discontinued by the manufacturer but online it doesn't say anything about them not being available. I'm going to give it a try - let me know if you want any --- the cost is $8 each. I can bring them to the Jackson and/or Hartford Shoeboxes (IF they do arrive).
