I must be quick this morning - it's grocery shopping day! 
LOL
Thanks for understanding, I probably shouldn't have said anything about it here, but darn it - I just needed to vent. I am really looking forward to working with your again Ariana!
I know, me too... especially when I go through so much effort to write up the process and post it a bazillion times.
Sorry Ruth... I am so glad that you like the bags you do have, and I hope that some day you'll be able to get on my customs list again. I will keep Mickey in mind - but I have my next 4 months of auctions planned out - and Mickey is not one of them... However, they are pretty great, so maybe something else will speak to you?
BFF is doing much better... A few things happened yesterday to turn the tables in her favor. It will still be such a long road for her and her dd, but I pray that they are able to overcome this.
That is just crazy Lillian! It's beautiful though - well, it would be, if it was Christmas anyways.
I hope you all are safe and warm.
I hope so too Dee, but the issue wasn't so much of them not following the rules - it was how I was treated afterwards that bothered me so much.
I totally understand where sometimes the ordering protocol is hard to desipher - I try to make it as easy as possible. I am always happy to answer questions - you know that.
LOL I just love that people who have one or more of my bags keep coming back for more... It makes me so happy!
Indecisiveness doesn't bother me at all - unless I am a month out from doing a bag and I still don't have a theme - then I get a bit crazy. It takes a few weeks to allow for ordering/mailing time for fabric... Then once it gets here I have to prep it and that takes time too. But under any other circumstance - indecisiveness doesn't bother me one bit.
You were just fine with your ordering - trust me.
Looking forward to spending the day with BFF... She really needs a good distraction.
Yay!!! I was there the other day, then I went back yesterday... I just love how you are writing it, you had a really unique trip!
SOrry that you missed out.
But at least there is the auction bags - I am very glad I started doing them. I feel so horrible that I just don't have the time to take more custom orders - but I can barely keep up as it is. I hope I do an auction one that you like. 
Yay about the TR - I will try to make it over this afternoon.
Definately wasn't your mom.
Looking forward to spending time with BFF today too.

OK - super quick update...
A few things happened yesterday in favor of BFF, and I am hesitant to say that things are looking up - but they are. She has a long road ahead her now, and hopefully things are able to continue to be resolved. Thank you for your prayers for her - I appreciate it beyond words.
Last night was Alli's first away track scrimmage... She had a lot of fun and loves it - so I guess I am not getting a refund of the sports fee.
During my breaks and lunch yesterday, I worked on my grocery list for today. I hope I have it planned out well enough.
I had to add a ham to my list - which I wasn't expecting to do - when I went down to the basement freezer last night, I discovered that we are out of ham.
Thankfully I ordered a hog last week - but it won't be ready for another 3-5 weeks... SO, I have to buck up and buy a ham. 
Otherwise - I must run... I want to get a quick work out in this morning before we have to leave.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
D~

Hmmm...Maybe that is because I talk about it twenty or thirty times a DAY! LOL!
Not at like I would be if I were excited about it!
Nini
LOL
It kind of makes me mad that someone tried to make you bend the rules. I think I read the rules ten times before I put my name in! I didn't want to screw anything up. I'm just so grateful that I got a spot for my Cousin, I would never dream of trying to change anything.
Thanks for understanding, I probably shouldn't have said anything about it here, but darn it - I just needed to vent. I am really looking forward to working with your again Ariana!

Sorry about the rule bender, it really bothers me when people don't read and don't follow how things are done.
I know, me too... especially when I go through so much effort to write up the process and post it a bazillion times.

I tried to get on your list yesterday! I was at work and between computer slowness and my inability to type quickly, I lost out!
I'm so glad I found you before the bag "madness" began! We love our bags! I guess I'll have to watch your auction for the Mickey one I need for a very special person! Hint!
I hope your BFF is doing better! Raising children is such a wonderful challenge! With love and support I hope it all works out!
Have a great day! Ruth

It's good to hear that your BFF is doing ok considering the circumstances.
I just have to show you some pictures I took today. I had to find one last geocache for a long time now to continue my project of filling the calendar with at least one found geocache each day in the calendar.
It has snowed almost 4 inches the last day. And it's still snowing. Many places they hadn't plowed the roads. Or maybe they had early this morning, but it didn't look like they had been there because it was so much snow on the roads.

This last picture is taking outside my parents house.

Hopefully the person(s) that didn't follow the rules didn't actually do it intentionally. I have to read, reread and reread instructions sometimes. Even then I can get confused when it comes to actually remembering everything and following through correctly. I try to write down notes, but when it comes to something like this where as you have to do it quickly, I could be the one not following the rules. But never intentionally. Either way, I am so sorry it puts such an extra burden on you. You are very nice to do it regardless, but I know if I did something wrong, by not following instructions correctly I would understand if I couldn't get what I was intending to. It is part of accepting my short comings.
I hope you have a great day!

I thought about trying to get on your list Then I decided I didn't want to be greedy since I already have two bags I knew the list would fill up in no time! I can't wait to see what bags come out in the next few months!!
LOL I just love that people who have one or more of my bags keep coming back for more... It makes me so happy!

Glad my indecisiveness dosn't bother you. It drives other people crazy. I hoped I didn't miss some of your rules and I am kind of demanding (in the type of bag I want). And I am greedy because I want another bag but it's the type of bag.Have I told you lately how awsome your bags are?
I'm so glad that you get to spend some time with your BFF!
Have fun in your sewing room today!

D~ I just wanted to let you know that you can now find a link to my trip report in my signature
Yay!!! I was there the other day, then I went back yesterday... I just love how you are writing it, you had a really unique trip!
Yeah, I missed out on a bag too. When I posted, I thought I was first and couldn't understand why no one else was posting. Turned out I was like #25 or something. That's Ok because I wouldn't be able to get a bag before my trip this year, so I will try for another auction bag. I missed out on the Goofy bag too because I had to run to the post office before they closed.
Oh well, I'm still working on my Minnie bag for my trip in September.
SOrry that you missed out.


I plan on starting a trip report tonight. Will let you know when I have. Just started it!! http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3087717
She's pretty happy about it!! I think I have an idea of who she's going with but won't say it cuz it's fun to guess what the next bag is!! She's the one who won the Daisy bag.
I hope it wasn't my mom!! But I don't think so.
Continued prayers for your BFF. Glad your going to get to spend some time with her tomorrow.
