Making some paper gifts for friends


Still having a love affair with paper


These are winging off to a gal who "won"
my "non giveaway giveaway" because
 she was another milestone follower.
No, you did not miss the giveaway,
I just noticed one day she had followed at 
a certain number and wrote her and said
You won!
You know who you are, they're coming :D



I love gals who follow me because 
they see something they like,
 or I strike  a chord with an opinion,
or maybe they think Howie is adorable, (yes)
and they haven't just come by to win something, 
though I do those giveaways too sometimes, 
maybe the next milestone?
Getting a surprise gift is an unexpected bonus,
and I love doing it. 

I feel I must mention again 
due to many such comments, 
that if you are a
"no reply" blogger I cannot answer 
your comments like I wish to, 
and I will no longer 
attempt to track you down by visiting your blog.
There is simply not enough time in my day.
AGAIN! please consider
 putting your email in your profile.

If not, here is my bulk Holiday Wish to all you
"No replies"
Merry Christmas!

Hope you are all faring well
through the Holiday crunch. I have 
smooth sailing now.
..and for those who follow my family stories...
Dearest Son is moving to LA in January,
a mere 4 hours away..
Can Darling Daughter be far behind, 
now that she will graduate early?
Looks like I will never get out of here after all,
but I'll take kids visiting on weekends for sure,
and weekends in LA are fun too :D
Can you say Road Trip girls?
