Hi everyone,
Ihave a few minutes on the computer and thought I'd jump in and say I am excited about the Christmas Club. I bought my cards today. Got a good deal at Walgreens. For the Image Art cards of 20-24 it was a buy one get two free. Lovely cards also.
Can't wait to hear from you all. Sorry I have to drop by only now and then. I'm using my daughters computer only when necessary until I buy me a new one. Love you all,
Sandpiper

Sandpiper, we'll take you whenever we can get you. Glad to hear you're joining in the fun!

Hi Sandpiper, happy to hear you're happy...Isn't Christmas time fun?

I love Christmas time. This year will be good because of our new arrival, Dustin, who is now 9 months old. Can't wait.

I think this Christmas Club is a fantastic idea. I'm so glad we are doing it at BWS. It's nice to receive cards from those we chat with so often. Love all of you.

I also love Christmas. I'm looking forward to adding my BWS friends into the fold.

Sandpiper, how have you been. I haven't seen you lately?

Hey Dotsie,

I've been fine. Busy with my writing and starting my publishing company. It's going slow with the company but I think that's good. It's a totally new venture for me so I spend lots of time reading about it and then finding contacts I'll need. Also deciding what type of publishing company I want to be is taking me more time. I want to make it work right.

Also been sitting with my little Dustin three mornings a week. I am so totally in love with him. He's finally crawling and knows how to walk with help. But, he's pulling himself up to things now. So it's only a matter of time before he's walking on his own.

How have all of you been. Hoping Santa might get me that computer, but not so sure. I'm not sure if I want to go laptop this time first or desk top. What do you all think? What works best for you?

Great to be here when I have the computer time. Miss all of you. When do we get the card list and the other name for gifts? I am busy signing my cards and such.

Love,

Ladies,
Look for the list sometime tomorrow. JJ

Morning Glories!

Here is the list of people I have for participation in the Christmas Card and Gift Exchange. First I'll list everyone who has indicated they want to be on the list. Then underneath that list, I'll put the names of the people who have not told me WHICH part, or parts they want in on...cards? Gifts? OR BOTH. What I asked is that you simply drop me an email at gjawjaw1@bellsouth.net and let me know your preference. If you've already done so, and you know you have, and you want to rip my neck off and gouge out my eyes because I have your name in the second list, remember ... I may draw your name for a gift. Humor me and send it again.

I'm not perfect and I may have overlooked someone. Lord I hope I haven't. But in case I have, PLEASE let me know. Call me names, hide my Oreo's...but whatever you do, LET ME KNOW I BOO BOOED...because this is FOR YOU! And we would NEVER want to leave anyone out. K?

Once all the info is in, then I will email everyone a sheet containing ALL of the names/addresses of those who want to exchange cards. THEN....I will send YOU the name of the person who you will send a gift to. This will only go to the people who indicate they want to be in on the gift exchanges. If you indicated you do NOT want to participate in THAT, you will, obviously, not receive a second email. Clear as mud?

The price of the gift should be NO GREATER THAN 10.00. Why so low? Remember, you have the cost of mailing, too. As for our lovely friends residing overseas, some have indicated they would like to participate in both the gift and the card exchange, but they don't want people living in the states to go to the expense of sending a gift overseas. How sweet is that? Anyway, I would like to propose to them this. Participate if you want in both, and leave it up to the individuals as to whether or not they send a gift. Since you're saying you don't mind, then if it's sokay by you all, why not let them decide? Can do? Enough...here's the two list. Any questions, please send me an email. I'll be out and about today and may not get back in here. But I WILL check my email from time to time.

SMatter of fact, I think I'll put the list in a separate entry.
