After I receive the blanket/afghan, they will be collected and distributed to the ship of the month. Look for pictures of the finished blankets/afghans posted here. Any questions or suggestions can be sent to me or posted on our message board here. Thank you all for your help.
Due to the HUGE cost of shipping blankets, I am very sad to say that I can no longer accept blankets to mail to the ships. I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy the group and come together for friendship and support. Thank you so much everyone who make blankets for our sailors. I know that they appreciated them.

I love the on-line mall idea. For medical reasons, I have to stay out of malls as much as possible. I do a lot of shopping on line. I checked out the sight, all my favorites stores are there. I can even get some of the furniture I was looking for, for the new house.

Hear's a chuckle to get the ol'knitting needles clicking......
A wealthy old Gentleman decides to go on a hunting safari in Africa , taking his faithful, elderly Jack Russell named Killer, along for the company.
One day the old Jack Russell starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.
The old Jack Russell thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the old Jack Russell exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old Jack Russell nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old Jack Russell sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!
Now, the old Jack Russell sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Jack Russell says...
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!

just got back from the post office and wanted to share with everyone..............the mail rate is going up on May 11th, but the post office is selling what they call forever stamps and if you buy them before the 11th then you won't have to add postage to your stamps when they raise the rates.............
Terri did you decided to send stamped envelopes with the blankets in case they want to send a thank you ????
-
-
Terri do you want to ship the blankets I have done or is it better if i wait till you ship the Mason's
-

Terri, If the address you are sending the boxes to is an FPO, then you have to send it US Mail. UPS and FedEx won't deliver to an FPO address.

Debbie I can open it ......but is that the logo on top .............that little bugger gave me a run for my money too when I was doing the flyer
Terri I'm wondering if you can get the logo sent to you in a different format. I'd love to have a new copy for this little letter I'm working on......
thanks dear
