    Hi Ladies,

    I don't know what's up with me, but I have the crochet bug bad right now!!! I mailed Vickie a package last week and now I have about 30 more squares.  Liz, Madison, Vickie......who should I send them to???? Just let me know. 

    Have a great day.

    Hugs, Jackie

    Jackie,

    I don't know if Vickie needs more squares.........Vickie, how are you on squares?

    Liz, how are you on squares?

    I can send you money to mail the squares if you want to split them 2 ways.

    Let me know.........Thank you for your help.     I've started on another afghan!!!

    Hugs, Madison

    Ozzie...........yes Mam.......wrap yourself up and feel the hugs around you!  Nothing better to help you feel 'up!'

    Madison.......I love the Hugaghan you sent to the Military fellow.....he'll truly appreciate it!

    Liz......I've still got my squares here.......I've been running between Dentists getting teeth pulled and partials fitted and then today I received some shocking news about the front office girl that has been there for 20 years....Needless to say...I got sidetracked this week, but will package them up tomorrow..........

    Hugs,

    Neesie

    Hey all, have any of you gotten on Ravelry.com?  I am getting so addicted to it that I have started some other knitting projects and have not done any new squares (insert embarrased face here).

    It's a website for knitters/crocheters, and it has become so popular that you have to submit your email address and wait for them to tell you when you can start your profile (about a day) so that the site doesn't crash.  There are TONS of patterns and info about yarns, etc.  I have learned some new knitting techniques, so I hope my squares will improve!!  

    I promise to get back to squares soon - I'm just taking a detour through a new "wonderland" of other people's amazing creativity.  I guess that's good for the soul, right?   :)

    Madison,

    I will split them 2 or 3 ways.  Thanks for the offer, but I don't mind spending the money for this great cause.  You ladies do more than enough.  I'll mail them out on Monday.

    Have a great weekend.

    Hugs, Jackie

    WOW, the last 2 hugaghans are beautiful. I am so glad you love yours OZZIE. Thanks for the tip on the varigated yarn that makes into the argyle type pattern. We don't have RedHeart sold here but i will pick it up when I travel. I did find a yarn that makes a pattern. It is fun too. But i want to find the plaid one. i will call my friend and see if Ryan at Walter reed got his package. Madison if you hear, please let me know. if i hear, I will come and share that news too.

    hey jenni!  you can send them to me or MB to be bordered.  Then we'll send them on to whomever needs them.  Sound good?  Or send them to me and I'll forward them on to others.

    Thank you all so very much! Liz,you and the "girls" are absolutely wonderful! I just went to the PO and there was a huge box. I waited until I got home as I was shaky and so excited! Thank you,thank you...my own hugaghan and it is absolutely beautiful!

    I am so honored that you would present me with such a treasure.As soon as I get batteries in my camera,I will post a pic. Wow...I am just so thrilled and still in awe of all the work and love that is involved in this fantastic project.

    What a wonderful ending to a challenging week! I do not mean to sound all abt me,as it is you,that I wish to thank!I appreciate the support through some rocky and challenging times. This day,I will remember always and the lovely hugaghan that now has a new home and a very grateful new owner.

    Much love to all,

    Iris

    Ozzie was SO thrilled with her afghan that she posted a picture of it on our Aussie forum.

    It is a wonderful idea. I'm sure that afghan is enjoying its new home in Australia!

    Thanks to all you hard working American ladies. I agree with Oz...you're the best.

    Iris - wonderful pic! 

    Neesie - they have arrived and they are great!  Thanks bunches.  I'm going to be bordering today and then will start another this week.  I mailed out 4 last week - they will arrive at their destinations soon.

    Again - thanks to everyone that helps.  Without all of you, we couldn't do this.

    Hugs
