19. Do you like holiday decor and if yes anything specific? (snowmen, santa, etc) It's really not holiday decor but I fly an American flag out my car window continuously. Come to think of it I do put out Christmas mats every year.

I just wanted to add that I LOVE Elvis. I have an Elvis throw that I love, an Elvis glass that I have used so much his face his almost gone, and an Elvis mouse pad that needs to be replaced.

I also need socks. For some reason I can't find the kind I like anymore. I don't like them real short or real tall or real thick (like tube socks). They're the kind that can be turned down at the ankle (like little girls used to wear I guess is a good way to explain them.)I used to get them at Target or WalMart around here but now all I can find are the short footies or knee socks. I like funky or cute patterns on them.

Socks- check. (We always called those anklets or ankle socks)

Yep Sheri Tina and I have to double check on that one,, Ankle socks that are funky or have cute patterns on them!

I have a pair that has doggies on them, a camoflage pair, polka dots, stripes, but now I can't find that type anymore. I've found some that don't turn down but they only come up to about 1-1/2 above my ankle, which is ok.

I have a question?????..............

Isn't this Fall Gift Swap, a Gift swap that is in place of a GH Christmas Exchange??-So we will have a bit less to do come the Christmas Season???

somewhere along the line I thought I read that someplace on here---Did I dream that????

We started doing a fall exchange for a few reasons....mailing is bad closer to christmas, people get too busy in their holiday activites, etc....

We do this one, and one in the spring.

I'm so excited. And Carol I just realized I never replied to your PM the other day...I'm sorry. Been sort of a bad time for me.

I was confused too........I dont think it is......Loz was just teasing Jiffymouse and I carried on with that............
We like to act crazy here.

Maybe me tweaking my list is confusing everyone but I wish everyone would tweak a little so we'd have a definite idea of what everyone REALLY would like or need that maybe they can't find or won't buy for themselves.

Since Dodge is 6000 I think she probably needs a face lift.

Dodge is all for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey while your lifting my face , Get me the extra Bar

Bar bar a................That is expected.
maybe sneak a small one under HOTROD?

You're trying to get me in trouble with Bill aren't you. Maybe you should join the exchange and put that at the top of your list and Bill will get your name.

Bill might just send me an AX................

chop chop chop

During the craft swap there was a wish list at the bottom that you could add things to. I like your addition of socks. Let me think on it. I need to make a list anyway. I've already started on the kids lists because so many extended family members ask.
I need blue kitchen stuff:
oven mitts and potholders
dish towels
simple garden gloves (lg)
cheap yarn (any colors, styles)
Does this help, Sheri?

good Idea Sheri and Tina. I made a list also,,

Kitchen towels and Hotpads Blue ( Not flowers) Tuscan themed .
I really need acrylic paints( sets) it's hard to find sets with Flesh color or very light beige in them and very small paint brushes w/pointed tips for detail ~ ( Most of my Willies have faded out due to the sun and they Need face lifts,,) doing this would be a good winter project,
I have started a fairy garden so another fairy to keep my only one company would be nice ,,

Rubber spatulas, and wooden spoons,

Great list, Diane. But what is Tuscan themed?

Add teapot to that list.

I am an easy helper.........

I need a charm bracelet

Italian Tuscan Themed Tina,, My Kitchen is Italian tuscan themed in Italian Cobalt blue and pewter, and I have some dark burgandy and darker yellow colors incorporated in here and there,, so the colors will blend with the other colors(burgandy , golds) of the living room and dining room ( I have an Open Floor plan and you can see all 3 rooms standing in just about any given space,)

here is an example of Tuscan themed,,

:wink:

Thanks for the link, Diane. I understand now. I am just so not into interior decor. I used to collect antiques but not a style. Just things I liked. I left it all with my ex when we split.

Were they both old??????

We need to get Barb a rubber room before she hurts herself.

This is good. Now we have an idea of where to start.

My job keeps me on the road sometimes 3 week a month at the most. So I always need.....

Sample products,
Secret deodorant,
baby oil,
baby lotion,
baby powder.
I love those shower gel samples Carees, Dove etc.
Knee Hi stockings Off Black

Sheri; Do we order Dodge's room from Sears or Penney's ????

Sears and jc are too cheap for rubber rooms.

i want a charm bracelet..................................

Are you in the swap now Barb???

I've tried to come up with some ideas for myself. I've got just a few. I love sewing, but I don't have a sewing box. I'm just using a small plastic box right now. I'd like to have an actual sewing box for my stuff. Any little stuff to go in it would be nice, too. I don't even have a real pin cushion. I just sewed a couple of pieces of fabric together and stuffed it for a pin cushion. I don't have fabric pencils or a designated pair of scissors just for my sewing. It's just stuff I pick up as I need or make do with what I have at the time. Also, there is a new Webkinz I would love to have. It's a yellow lab. He is too cute! If I come up with any more ideas I'll be sure to post.

In this one ? No.
I am just here to bother Bestofour........

She likes my style of rubber rooms.

She is my favorite comic strippppppppppppp.
