White Elephant - Round 3

[Marilynsgrammy]

But Michelle, you sent one big box... these are two smaller boxes... and for someone who thinks they didn't put much in it I sure took a lot of your stuff out.... which books did you put back??? I was going to keep the magazines but I have a lot of magazines I still need to look through...

And thank your son for me because I am the lucky one who got the garfield sun catcher... and I love it....he was a sweetie to put it in the box and I am thrilled that I have it... how old is your son, he is very thoughtful.

Oh Carolyn, ready or not, here it comes.... lol.

oh my the elephants have arrived!!!! I rapidly sorted through them and will get one back out tomorrow with the things I don't need and then on Wed I can pull the stuff I want to add and get the other box on it will be on its way too. All I can say is WOW!!! Looks like everyone is putting more in then they are taking out!!!

Mgrammy, I took out the baby quilts and the 3-D quilt book, but then put those back. I figured my kids were too old for those kinds of quilts and I had plenty of time for grandkids.

My middle kiddo made the suncatcher...he was so excited to put something in the box. I don't know why. He is 9 (I have 5 kids!)

[Marilynsgrammy]

Michelle, let your 9 year old know that I appreciate his thoughtfulness... I love the garfield sun catcher and am thrilled to have it... did he paint it himself? please give him a huge hug from me and telll him how much I love it.... he is a sweetie pie...

Carolyn, take a breath... take a day or two, we know you have family there...but you're right, people are putting in more than they are taking..... and yet there are some good and fun things in the boxes....

mommyquilts-how old are your 5 kiddos? I too have plenty of time for grandkids (my girls are still in college and my older one says she will have kids in 100 years...after law school) but I think I will keep that cute book...My sister's grand children might need another quilt from me

You will laugh it was my daughter's boyfriend who brought in the mail today I had the 2 Elephants and a box from Fabric.com and John had 2 boxes of books. When I told him I was expecting 2 elephants he really didn't know what to say.

My daughter's friends are from Maine, Boston and Connecticut they are loving the weather here!

My kids are all boys, 16, 14, 9, 8, and 7. And they are all boy...like to eat, play hard, sports, fishing and camping, and all but one are Boy/Cub scouts. The 9 year old likes arts stuff too, he did paint it. He tends to be very ornery, gets in trouble a lot, so I was impressed when he wanted to share his garfield with you. I have a butterfly in my kitchen window, and an 'I love Jesus' too. He is a strange child for sure! Get him in the right mood, and he is amazing. Get him in the wrong mood, and you better buy some drywall!

mommyquilts, was it you that said one of your boys liked Star Wars??

Joanne:0)

[mommyquilts]

The youngest does...but I don't remember if I said it or not on this forum. I think I did...didn't you make the star wars scrappy quilt?

If you decide to do another I want to be in it please Thanks Jan

How many others would be interested in keeping this elephant traveling? I'll keep this limited to 10 people again so that it doesn't take so long to get around. It seems to be working.
