Thank you to each and every one of you for making me smile with your birthday wishes! I have the sweetest bloggy buddies ever!!
Betty is getting something from me for making me laugh out loud with her comment that "At 40 you aren't antique yet.. just vintage. And likely collectible." LOL I like the idea of being collectible. :-)
Alice is getting a special something because I've owed her a package for...what...a year now?!? Alice, I found the coolest pair of vintage earrings and thought of you immediately. I promise to get them and some other goodies to you soon.
Tonya E., you need to send me your address, too. I got your email and it was so sweet and kind and all those other gushy words.
Kim, Chara, and Capello, I've not forgotten about you! I'm a baby-shoe-making factory right now, but I have you on my list!
For everyone else who left me a birthday wish: If you email your address to me at laurie(at) oldschoolacres(dot)com I will add you to my list of to-do projects and will send you a little something, too. It may take me a while, but eventually you'll get a little something either handmade or vintage.
Something else sweet is Sweet Goodness Swaps. They paired me up with Heidi at Vacumming in High Heels and Pearls for the Holiday Sister Swap. Here are the first 10 questions I'm supposed to answer for Heidi.
1. Favorite Color: Blue...midnight blue, robin's egg blue, any shade of blue except royal.
2. Chocolate Lover? Milk, Dark, White, or none of the above? Milk and white.
3. What is your favorite craft hobby? Do I have to pick just one? It used to be paper crafts, but the last year it's been handsewn wool felt softies and embroidery. I still mess with paper some.
4. What is a craft/art hobby that you would like to start? Needle felting.
5. What craft do you NOT have an interest in or just not great in ( so your partner doesn’t send something you wouldn’t use)? Knitting and crocheting. I'd love to try either, but I don't have the patience to learn.
6. Do you have any allergies? No.
7.What’s your favorite part of Halloween? Decorating, candy eating, costumes, or something else? Eating the candy!
8. Do you decorate for Thanksgiving/Fall? Not really. I like the idea, but never get it done.
9.
December Holidays--what holiday do you celebrate? What type of
decorations do you like to put up in your house for that holiday? We celebrate Christmas. Our tree is decorated with red and silver. I love vintage-style decorations. I use a lot of greenery on shelves, etc.
10. Do you have any children, if so what are their ages, boys/girls? I have 2 girls. Katie is 9 and Ellie is 4.
I'll do the other 10 questions tomorrow.
