Posted: Nov 14, 2010 1:43 pm Post subject: (You Should) Check in for Secret Snowflake! |
|
|
We're almost halfway through November so I wanted to officially check in and say that I am still working, and definitely good with a goal of 1 December!
I cannot believe that it is already halfway through November. I feel like this year has FLOWN right by!
But I am so excited to send out my snowflake package, and I really hope that my partner likes what I've made/found! And let's all admit it: everyone is excited to finally get something in the mail and unwrap all of the treasures that their partner lovingly chose for them, as well!
How are you doing, friends? Like I said in the other thread, if you are itching to spill some secrets or need someone to bounce ideas off of, holla at me!

I have sooooooooo much to do. I bit off more then I can chew with a really complicated project that is taking *forever* but it is going to be so so so cool for my partner. Right now I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get that part done by Dec. 1!! I am not feeling confident, but I'm about to go work on it right now. _________________ <3 free range glitter pony <3

Mine's going pretty well. I've very nearly finished the major handmade item, and I've bought, I think, everything I'm going to buy. There are a few more things I want to make but they are relatively easy/ not time consuming, and I already have the materials. _________________ kittens are cute, but a full-grown cat can be cuter

i'm doing okay. i have a few things that i think are pretty awesome, but i'm still missing that "it" piece. and the one thing i started to make was too small so i had to frog it all and now need to get bigger needles. but! a thrifting expedition is on schedule for next weekend! here's hoping for a bunch of awesome scores! _________________ yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? |

I've got a number of things set aside, and I picked up the flat-rate box I'm going to send everything in. That means I can start wrapping stuff as I get it ready. I can't believe there's only 2 weeks until the send-out. There hasn't even been any snow here... it doesn't really feel like "snowflake" season yet. _________________ "It came to betoken the nation's biking and adulation of automobiles!" |

I have two things done, one handmade and one purchased, but they're both awesome :] I also have some super cool reusable packing items that my partner should totally dig, and ideas for a couple of other little things. I'm a little nervous looking through all of the previous swap photos, but I know in the end it will all work out! :] _________________ tumblr

| It's so great that many of you are almost done! And I have to say that I really enjoy reading about the [secret] packages, as I know who is sending to whom :-) |

I'm a little behind on things, but I had a major break-thru on something last night and I think it is going to turn out great! :) I have plenty of ideas, so I just need to get going on them! lol... _________________ ps- you're my favourite. We should be friends.--e |

I am doing well. I am a little bit anxious about it, but am expecting thing to come together in the next couple of weeks.

| I'm making progress. There's been some serendipity lately in that I was out and about and just happened upon stuff that was perfect. I still need to wrap up some loose ends. |
