I'm glad Y'all have gotten them 
! I tried to personalize them as much as I could. Cavern & I already know what we're doing for all Y'all next year 
. Yes, it will have a knitted 'something' as the card.
Sooner - I charted yours freehand, while driving from the yarn shop .
GA - That is as close to gold I have in my stash ... everything else was in a yarn gague waaaaaaaaaaaaay too big. I'm glad it's by your other stockings *big cheesy grin*.
Zek & Hulkers - both of yours are using the same snowflake design I charted after I charted Sooners, all freehand & in the car lol. They came out completely different (Zek yours is done in 'Fair Isle' using 2 colors & Hulkers is done in one color by changing up the knit & purl stitches .
Wolfie - I hope you like the design on yours. You'll be able to 'hunt' them all year long now .
Everyone else - I tried to match colors/patterns to personalities as best I could, mostly I just went w/ what looked good/was fun/interesting to knit 
.
...now I am wondering if the Candy Cane that Cav stuffed in them made it & in what condition it was in (whole or bits) when it got there lol...
Merry Christmas Y'all !

I had to share this.
So I'm running a little behind on getting the cards sent out.
I got my act together today and went to the post office right after work to get stamps and mail them.
I got into line and I noticed a sign they had over the counter that said "Sorry, we have run out of U.S. and international postage."
That was a little unexpected.
So I have to try again tomorrow...

Today is a good day!
I got the card from Kid and Nomme, 2 cheques, and a book that Dad said he'd be sending me that should be useful in my field. Now the only question is whose cards are going to show up next!

I ADORE mah stocking Pax!!! It's MAHPAXSTOCKING!!! I plan on keeping it right here on my desk all year long
I'm afraid my cards are going to be late. 
For those that don't know, my oldest (special needs) grandson has been in the hospital since early this week, and between having my younger grandson and going back & forth to the hospital the next town over, I wasn't able to get my cards out. I plan on getting them done tomorrow and mailed Monday. I'm sorry they are gonna be late.
I luuuuuuuuuuuuuv all my cards and goodies!!! Thank you to everyone who's participated! And remember, there's always gonna be ONE MORE.
I have to admit, I like Mentals card. First thing I noticed when I opened it was the gold bar in the envelope. It was shiny, and gold. Also a very nice card.
Static Bang and Ms Fortuna's card came today also. Very nice, very christmassy. it had sparkles.
Finally I got Ivan and Lillians card. Loved the poem. Sorry to hear about lillian, she really should have been wearing a face mask and gloves when she opened the card.
Thank you all. they are all going in a place of honor (back yard, lead lined ammo can, 2 1/2 feet deep).

I just sent out my cards today. I hope and pray that everything arrives safely.
Mine went out Thursday, so they should (hopefully) start arriving anytime.

Pax- Love the stocking, already on the tree, candy cane devoured. I just had to fight the 4 kids for it, but age and wisdom won the day.
Vyx- The ornament rocks, I only had to hunt down the 2 yr old after she ran off with it yelling purple. It also has made it's way to the tree...for now.
I am glad everyone is enjoying the Night before Christmas remake.

Got your package today. The cookies are wonderful. What's the time delay in the poison? So far neither I or the kids are showing any symptoms, and that has me a bit worried. I'm looking up more exotic poisons now. |

Mine went out today! I apologize for any that are late.
Hopefully ours will be going out tomorrow. I apologize that they are so late. My sinus surgery has had me severely under the weather.

I got Sooner's and WoodNimph's cards today.
WN - My bf says "please relay OMGYUMMY to the maker of the cookies" as I made him try one because they are quite tasty!
