The Ya Ya YURT retreat..

[dizneenut]

Afternoon all!

Thought I'd jump in real quick to say hi.

My Buckeyes are getting whipped today. Hopefully we'll come back!!

Nancy, thank you, thank you, thank you for the package. You are a total sweetheart!!!

We just had a Build A Bear place open up at one of our malls. Gonna have to go sometime and make me one. They are adorable.

Darn, I didn't know Kohl's was passing out coupons today. I went shopping on Black Friday once. It was quite an experience. Probably won't go out this year, but I think I might next year.

....Saturday to all the Ya-Yas! Finished up purchasing the last "stocking stuffer"; didn't make it to the Post Office today, so my roadkill, errrr, I mean package, will be going out on Monday (so much better for the SMELL to further flourish! )

Speaking of roadkill ------ did anyone get a shaking box in the mail???????

Hey y'all!

Our Christmas tree has been assembled and the process of fluffing it has begun. It'll take me several days(off and on) to get it the way I want before I decorate it

We're going on a date tonight to see Elf and then have Mongolian for dinner..yum.

Have a great evening!

ME!!!

My stocking came today!!
You can all relax now.....it was from Pam!!
And it was wonderful!!
Where do I start?
The raccoon It wasn't happy to have been stuck in that box and with a spatula strapped to it too!! It was just swearing and trying to bite me.
Then there was the mink .....aw but it was in the form of mink earmuffs.
And the squirrel....cute feeder and included was sunflower seeds.
Also Christmas pot holders and dish clothes to use when whipping up a batch of critter stew.
Then the stocking.....which is a very cute snowman. It was filled to overfilling!
It was so much fun opening everything.
Inside was some of my favorite things: chocolate....Ghirardelli hot chocolate, chocolate slippery rocks.
Yankee candles: 3 votives....Christmas Eve, Christmas Cookie and Song of Angels
And speaking of angels, a couple of those too. A cute little porcelain one and a stained glass one.
A snowman ornament, Stripping Santa socks (too cute!(, a stew pot filled with body things
and a really cute Heinz ketchup bottle whistle.

THANK YOU PAM!! I love it!! I will place a roadkill order with you any day!
Oh and the card was SO cute too. I will see if my scanner will cooperate and post it.

Here is my loot.....you can see most of it.

Poo.....had to take out a bunch of smilies.

Pam's package really brightened my day...roadkill and all

I had some shocking, unexpected news today.
I "lost" one of my best friends. I have never met him, but corresponded through e-mail and an occasional phone call for over 3 years with him.
We met though my cookie newsgroup. We talked about everything.,.....jokes, cooking, family, animals...just everything. 3 or 4 times a week.
Got an e-mail from his wife today that he passed away earlier in the week
I'm so sad.....I will miss him so much.
Thanks for listening, my friends.

Nancy,

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. If there is anything I can do for you let me know.

Thanks Tina......most of the problem is that I feel so helpless. It took almost a week for me to hear about it. I just wondered why I hadn't heard from him...and all week, I've been sending him the DL pictures
Took his wife that long to figure out his computer and get hold of people.....so everyone, make sure your SO or someone knows how to get in touch with your e-friends (just in case)

Enough of the downer stuff. I think we need a good ole yaya party!! I have the fresh road kill that Pam sent to share with everyone!!

Oh, Nancy!! I am so sorry that your friend has died.

But - I am so happy that you liked your Stocking Exchange! I had so much funny planning and shopping for it!

 

[2bemarried]

Your stocking sounds and looks wonderful!!!! Can't wait to get mine in the mail this week

Nancy so generous of you to want to share! A yaya party is always fun! That is sweet. (Sorry about your sad news.)

Do you all forgive me?

Teheh Lily...no problem....some people love receiving Christmas cards in the mail. I'm one of them...I also like sending cards....so I wanted to see if anyone else here is like me and wanted to get on my list "to send Christmas card to" hope that makes sense!

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Doh! Sounds like fun! I like sending/receiving cards. I think it would be fun! Ok I'm in...PM on the way.
