Dude I'm so beat but I need to cycle back around to a normal schedule again (I've been staying up nights to talk to Hubby) Having something to look forward to will help me stay up.
Giving gifts worries me because I always seem to put effort in gifts and people never use the stuff so I stopped giving gifts to most people, it's a waste of money it seems.

That is too bad, you give great gifts! Your swap present was insane and I absolutely adore the box of happy that you sent to me! :wub: Mucho love Ms Tweakabell!
@@Sheeeeeelby -- I hope the doctors are able to diagnose and treat your grandmother so that she's better soon!
@@puppymomofthree -- I'm betting yesterday was tough, but hope today is a better day and that you're back to normal quickly!
@ -- I hate it when I do something that's supposed to be good for me, but end up feeling worse than if I'd never done it. Hope you're also feeling better today.
As for worries about the gift -- to paraphrase from Stuart Smalley, just repeat to yourself: "It's good enough, I stalked enough, and gosh darn it -- my FGC will like it!"

Which is the only reason I participated again. Genuine thank yous and updates on how things worked out. I'm not saying everything has to work perfectly just that you tried/used some of it. Unfortunately Hubby and Z are the same with gift receiving even if it's something they've wanted forever the reaction is always meh. It's very disheartening. I know they appreciate and use the stuff but sometimes you want someone to jump up and down ya know?

Somewhat unrelated, but...does anyone have any idea where I could find large square shaped envelopes? Probaby 6" square or so? I made cards for my penpals like, 3 months ago, and haven't yet been able to mail them because I can't find envelopes, gah!

Hallmark used to carry a line of cards by Fresh Ink that were all square & came in super cute square envelopes! I wonder if they'd sell you just the envelopes lol

I make my own!! Use a sturdy paper, like from a paper grocery bag or other shopper. You might have to throw a spare stamp on it if it's not nicely square but I believe in you!

Oh, great idea!! I hadn't even thought of that...DUH! That's my mission for the week, now!

I am a person who is always super appreciative of any gift I receive, but I admit that in person, I tend to be very shy about reacting! I don't know why, I've always been that way! I always hated, for example, when my parents would watch me open presents, because I didn't want them to think I didn't like them, but it's hard for me to do more than "OH, awesome!! Thanks!!!" with them watching me, you know??
On the topic of receiving gifts, like I said, I always do truly appreciate anything, just the thought of someone givng me something is so nice. But there's just something about the MUT exchanges...I've never received such thoughtful gifts before! I think it's part because we have shared interests (duh) and part because these are not obligation gifts...we join this exchange because we WANT to think about someone and pick out things to make each other happy, and I think it's just a really beautiful thing!
I love this place!

I'm so having "sneaky and fabulous" put on everything now. Business cards, personalized notebooks, tote bags, my gravestone....
"Here lies Leigh
She was sneaky AND fabulous!" :rotfl:
Thank you ladies! Great news - My grandma doesn't have cancer!! She does however has severe osteoporosis & has some fractured/broken bones in her back. She has to be in a nursing home on bed rest for 3 weeks and then will start physical therapy. Unfortunately, her insurance doesn't cover it so we are scrambling for funds. No more makeup for me for awhile. I appreciate all your prayers & well wishes!!
In FGC news, I'm wrapping everything!

Yay! Wonderful to know what's up boo on stupid insurance red tape crap, if you're hurt/sick they should frickin cover what's needed til you're NOT hurt/sick, simple concept

@@Sheeeeeelby Glad to hear about your grandma! Wishing her a speedy recovery.
@@puppymomofthree Hope that you made it through work ok and the ride home was not too bad.
on the FGC front I am in panic mode. We are one week from mailing and I have to
1) finish craft-of which I am freaking out about because I read the dream list and thought I picked a complimentary color scheme but I misread and am worried she will hate it because it will not match
2) I need to photograph and inventory items
3) write card
4) local thing
5) secure box tocram fit all the stuffs into
6) sit on pins and needles as it makes its way to her and hope she likes it.
I am in serious freak out and when I get this way instead of just doing I freeze. Now that I have a list hopefully I can do one thing per night and have it done and ready by the weekend!

FGC, your gifts will not be super cutely wrapped like some of them have been..I just stink at wrapping. I hope colorful tissue paper will suffice! I've got everything together, I just need to add a snack or two and write your card! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

In case anyone was ever curious what in the world I do while I'm at work overnight..
Right now I am dealing with a tipped over semi truck filled with Jell-O. Like, the little cups of it that come in packs of four. Everywhere. Had to have the driver send me pictures for documentation and I can't stop giggling.
