Feb SS-yes?

**Thistle** · 01-17-2007, 12:18 PM

Me too. Count me in. Thanks for the comments on spending, i always worried people would think i was stingy, but it's just that i'm on a budget

**Bluetree** · 01-17-2007, 12:45 PM

I never quibble or worry over the dollar amount of a gift -- I'm just excited to get anything at all from my SS!

Mmmm.... like yummy cocoa mix.

**crazycanuck** · 01-17-2007, 07:03 PM

Ummm my main stumbling block is the freakin postage!!! I try to keep the cost down but the post office folks just want to see me cry each time i send a package..

Just another thought here ladies-I thought of the RED theme as I think February is "heart month"in support of the Heart foundation..i think???
So, pink/red-blood, heart..understand? I don't mean send valentine type things as that's just overrated/boring.

Perhaps this month send something that supports a local business/craftperson/etc or something homemade..IE.from the heart..

I sure hope in a roundabout way you understand my thought...

I had trouble finding this thread since it was buried, if anyone's interested in Feb SS you've got 6, count 'em 6 days! (Okay, 5 if we're going by DownUnder time

)

One time I had to postpone my sending cause buying the gift wasn't a problem but I had to save money for postage. You should seen the face of the women behind the glass when I said ...How much money?!

, thank you very much, I'll come back when I receive my paycheck

But received gift always cheers me up so it's worth it. I make a pause sometimes when it's too much for me. But if it's home made I'm in. I love doing stuff like that

**crazycanuck** · 01-23-2007, 02:03 AM

I'm stuck on what I can make for my ss. I'm not creative..

I want to find some Australian material to sew something but i don't have a sewing machine plus I don't know how to sew and need to know what I could make?

Help..

Bike related ideas would be helpful...

What about a collage of beaches in Western Australia?

Anywho, if you're reading this: the theme is from the heart- home made or something similar.

Crazy-needs lots of help with this one-Canuck...

The gifts don't HAVE to be homemade, do they? I think that's just suggestion, right? The other idea is something from local craftspeople, artists, etc.

I can be pretty crafty when time allows, but just now, it doesn't. We've got some cool local artists though.....

I have to say i felt quilty too. I made with love a warm wooley hat for my Jan ss. (she already knows it's me) I had to send it to Over sea's so i knew I needed to watch how much i sent weight wise. When I got my box from my SS it was amazing. But I felt quilty i had not done the same for my SS over sea's. It would have cost me a fortune. And the whole customes thing. So I had to watch it. I think as long as every one knows that we are all doing what we can that should be fine. I won't post any pic's either. I just wanted to share with you all what a big heart my ss has.

So, let's stress the "don't go too crazy, folks" and I'd be up for red and heartfelt, too.

I agree. I have not participated before but would love to - so count me in!

**7rider** · 01-23-2007, 03:18 PM

Eeps! The only thing I know how to make are dinner reservations at a good restaurant!!

I'll have to search for "red" and "from the heart." Oh...and "from a store."

could be made in someone else's home

that's still homemade

**Bikingmomof3** · 01-24-2007, 12:52 PM

Mine will be from the heart.

**crazycanuck** · 01-25-2007, 03:32 AM

Hi guys,

Just a few things:

1-We have 23 people participating so far...Anyone else want to join in?

2-I've sent some of you your SS names for feb-the rest will come when I get back from the long weekend. I hope i've done it right so far!

3-As always, if you're going to be late sending your package, please let me know. If you don't, I won't send subliminal sunshine your way...

thanks

I received my SS name.

Thank you for coordinating this one CC.

**crazycanuck** · 01-28-2007, 12:50 AM

Hey kids,

I've sent most of the names out but am just checking a few things. Please don't panic if you've not received a message from me yet. All is well in the world of SS's.

I tried to re-read some of the older SS threads to see if (insert name) has had (insert name here) but it was quite a task

I tried

and please don't be mad

I've checked & re-checked my sent messages to confirm i haven't sent you your own name....

All the names will be out by monday night my time..

Remember the theme is homemade, local artist item, from the heart etc. Have fun !

If you're behind the 8 ball & will be a smidgen bit late with your package, please please let me know

Thanks
C
