OCTOBER SECRET PALS - AWESOME MONTH!!!! - CLOSED

[TeresaK]

HELLO Secret Pals,
Can you believe we are in October already!!! Where did the year go????? I am loving the cooler weather at night. Such a treat to quilt with a slight cool breeze coming in the window.
YOU ALL did great for September. I believe everyone has mailed so I will start October.
I have posted the names from September but PLEASE let me know if you are staying. If you are NEW to joining us this month. I will be THRILLED to add your name to the list. Please read the Guidelines for Secret Pals in the thread at the top of the swaps page and if you have any questions feel free to ask away.

*** Please DO NOT Sign Up if you are UNABLE to MAKE THE SERIOUS COMMITMENT of UPLIFTING YOUR PAL's HEART and MAILING by the 15th!

*** If you are NEW I will need you to PM me your name and address to pass on to your SP for the month.

*** I am also asking for your EMAIL ADDRESS just in case I can’t reach you through a FORUM PM. If you are on Facebook can you please FRIEND me. I do not nag but need another way to reach you other than the QIAD Forum. The rules are posted in the Thread at the top of the Swaps Section.

*** PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UPDATE YOUR HINTS POST.

*** PLEASE make every effort to mail as early as possible or NO LATER THAN SATURDAY, THE 15th of the MONTH. That gives you 2 weeks for gathering your LOVE Package.

***** 3 NEW TWIST's (OPTIONS) added below to make it easier for you "just in case" you are NOT able to get to get out shopping or to the Post Office ... This is also a great way to keep your shipping costs down
1 - Consider calling QIAD to send a Gift Certificate to HER. Make sure they send a note saying it is from (Your name - Secret Pal)
2 - Post in your hints your favorite Fabric Store and/or the Local Quilt Store where you shop?
3 - JoAnn's Gift Certificate.

Teresa,
You can add me for October. I am doing sooooooooo much better and I am getting out and about more. No walker and I am actually able to go up and down my front steps without assistance. I am so happy with my progress. I feel great that I can join all of you again.
Love to all,
Maureen (meagsmom)
