Holiday Recipe Exchange sent/received thread...COMPLETED!!

[kelleigh1]

I'm going to have to sit down tonight to figure out what I need for my last "extra". Then I'm going to run to the store tomorrow night. Then I'll be able to package it all up and get it in the mail on Saturday.

And I think I'm going to start working on next year's recipe exchange. (Yes, planning ahead.) I've got some great ideas, but they'll take a little more time, so I'll start working on it now. And...since my idea will make a nice gift too...can't hurt!

 

[Meriweather]

We still have 4 names to be picked up.....please get them and get ready

Kelleigh1, your friend is one of them.

We may just have a package or 2 arrive today

 

[kelleigh1]

Thanks Nancy! I'll call her tonight. If you want to send the PM to me too, I can give her the info over the phone if she hasn't gotten over to her friend's house to use the computer. She had been hoping to go over there one night this week, but since they messed up her work schedule once already this week, she may not have had a chance yet.

 

[Meriweather]

I will send you a PM with her person
