Official NEC-magical gift post

[Ruschele]

Hi everyone,
Just checking in, catching up on all the notes. I see there are a ton of new people...that is great!! I was hoping to be back into my crafts full-swing by now, but just can't seem to get it all together. It always seems to be one thing after another. I was transfered to a new team at work, so I'm trying to learn a bunch of new stuff and last Friday, I hit a deer with my van so now that is in the shop. And my husband found out his work is going to close up shop within 2yrs, but they will be doing rolling layoffs from now until then, so we don't know exactly on when he's gonna lose his job, we just know it can be any time. But I guess life just goes on now doesn't it....

Sue, I can't believe you got approved on 2 more projects, and you want to do more!!!...I guess getting a sample of all of the items started something....lol.

Cindy, Sorry to hear about your bookmarks, but glad to hear you got a few samples in to NEC now.... Henry II...that's funny.

Keep your heads up, think positive. And remember, that things always will get worse before they get better, It WILL get better

Ruschele Hi. I am so sorry to hear you hit a deer. Am glad you and your family are okay. Boy this economy and jobs and money problems is taking it's toll. Life sure can throw some curve balls at you. I hate to read about familys having money and job problems. I of course want to hear all goes well for you and your family. You are such a beautiful person.

Sue I was so upset yesterday I did not even realize you got approved on two more projects. I will work for you if you need part time help.
Congrats. I may get jealous.

I did not sleep. So that sheep signature made sense. Wish it had of worked for me to forget not getting paid for my work with the bookmarks and having no job now. Bummer

Morning all,


Congrats to Theresa, I knew we would hear of a new approval before the week was over.

Ok guys, please,please,pleaselet me in on the toe ring before I start my 3rd try!!!!!! Don't make me beg!!![img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

You're welcome on the TBH info. I am working on my 4th today. I just have to put on the feathers, my favorite part.....NOT!!!!

I think the glitter nest is a little easier because the feathers are not separate, they go on all at once with a boa. If you would like more details send me a PM.

Bye for now and Good Luck to those still waiting to hear of somegood news.

Good morning,

Whew! Well, I just sent in my first 50 Carousel Horses yesterday, a little late, like 2 weeks, hopefully that is okay! I am hoping to stay at 50. I had trouble finding time between working nights (11P-7A) at my part time job and my husband and 3 kids. I really like doing them, hopefullyI will get faster. I tend to be a perfectionist at my jobs.

I am glad to see so many people on here and all of the approvals! Congratulations!!! [img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img] Also, keep up the good work on trying to get approved, it may seem long, but will be well worth it when you are approved. It took me 7 tries, so just be persistent.

I also sent in my testimonial and am hoping to trya couple more projects, probably the kitty magnet and scottie magnet.

Good luck to all and have a great day! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

Hi Everyone,

I know I'm asking a question that has probably been asked a million times before on this forum. But, I'm at work and can't go read thru all 100 pages. And, my computer at home is dead.

What projects are considered good for beginners....anyone have any preferrences?
I'm not totally craft ignorant but I'm sure I'm lacking in some areas.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks ladies!
