Good heavens — can you be any busier? Remember to take some time for yourself and be good to you!!
Sounds like you have so much on your plate right now!
I bit off more than I can chew, Lara!~skt

Hi, Shelly. You should be getting a big box from me soon. And, I have begun working on some more. I finished five squares last night (a movie night) and have another done this morning before church. I’ll probably ship the group off on Friday.
THANK YOU for doing this!!!
More Alaska squares! Yay! You’d think Alaska was another country, cuz my volunteers get so excited about it. Thank you so much for the squares, and for all you are doing to promote the project!~skt
you are very welcome! And - check your post box - I just checked the tracking thingy and it says that the box was delivered Friday.
I’ve got 11 finished now and will work on them until I can get to the post office later this week - it may be Friday - or it could be sooner. hahaha.
And - yes, Alaska IS a foreign country - at least it is to shippers. Alaska is not part of the “continental” US, or so we’re told. I’m not sure what continent the rest of y’all are on, but we’re on the North American one. hahaha (gotta laugh sometimes)
Have a great week!
Whoot! I received them…They are beautiful! I think that sometimes my postal workers don’t have all the mail up when I go to get my coffee in the morning
If I don’t get it early, I go postal. Thank you for sending them Barbara, and for tucking in some postage money! I’m spending that later today. I’ll post pictures in a little while. I appreciate you!~skt

Yaaaaahhhhh!!! I finally got a few squares off to you today (only 6). I’m afraid all my political blogging caught up with me and I came down with a spiritual malaise that has taken me a month of offline time to begin the healing of. Yesterday I checked my email and found an excited comment from a reader on my share a square entry and realized that my hiatus from the internet had pulled me away from this wonderful, spiritually recharging project. Rather than wait to have the “Witch’s Dozen” that I was hoping to send, I decided to get the first 6 in the mail and make some more. Talk about healing!
I just looked at the FAQ and realized that I goofed a bit. I attatched my business card with my blog addie to the center of each square with a tiny pink safety pin. The next bunch will come with ribbons or yarn, instead. Much love to you, Shelly and all you awesome share-a-squarers!!!

I do like your added color and I love looking at all the different colors.
Rose will be sending out our next batch any day and my Mom will be back at the end of this week and she’s been crocheting up a storm.
Looks great and I will blog about this again this week, though I think we share most of the same readers.
Hey Jen. I like adding the color to the border, too. It just seems to add a little zip to it. I look forward to your next batch of squares! I can’t tell you how much they are appreciated. I thank you for blogging about the project, too. I think we may share the same “commentors,” but I bet you have some different readers. The more we mention it, the more likely someone is to find out about it and be moved to action. &hearts ~skt
I mailed 50 rimmed squares to you today along with 4 big super saver skeins of black yarn and a baggie full of tags. I also am sending you some cash to help with anything else you might need for the squares. I am so blessed to be a small part of this project for the kids. You are an angel in disguise. Keep going and get some rest when you can.
You are a sweetheart, Tina! I appreciate you more than I know how to tell you! You are a LARGE part of this project. Every single one of you are. It wouldn’t be happening without YOU!~skt

Hey Shelly… leave it to me to throw off your math. I’ve got a “Witch’s Dozen” (13) in today’s mail. BTW, I’d be happy to put an afgan or two together for you, if you want to send me a couple of kits when you have them.
My math stinks anyway, Thorne
I will get a kit together for you and mail it this week! Thanks tons!~skt
