BUMPITY BUMP
Just 3 days to sign up, ladies! I hope you have checked this out since the post has had no comments.
Bump!
Happy August, Yo Yo Mammas! Let's go ahead and update our signup for this swap: I am posting the list we already have for this swap. (Please e-mail me right away if you feel you need to drop out of this one.) Signup ends when we have our 10 swappers or on Aug. 14..whichever comes sooner. So far we have 8. Cut off for sign up is 9PM, Tuesday, August 14.
Please e-mail me with your real name and screen name and mailing address and email. Tell me whether or not you want buttons put on the yo'yo's you will receive. New swappers are sooooooo welcome!!!
Mail out ends September 15.
We are going on Summer Vacation for this swap. Whether you travel or stay in your own back yard is up to you. We will do 2 yo yo's reflecting summer vacation, 2 of summer flowers and 2 of summer potluck (potluck could be foodie, reunion, anything summery.)
Let's continue to make either round or heart shaped yo-yo's---maker's choice. LadyInRed/Peggy has a great heart shaped tutorial on her blogsite--go to the Thursday, Aug. 11 post http:///ladyinredsite.blogspot.com/ The Template size for these yo yo's are 4" to start, with a smaller finished size.
After sign ups close, I will email the list of addresses and when you mail out your yo yo's please attach them to a card or card stock. You might want to write "hand cancel" on the envelopes so buttons are not broken. Tuckins are purely optional; but, fun it you do them. Some do...some don't.
This is an easy project to carry along to waiting rooms or on car trips, etc. (as long as you are the passenger  ) Just have FUN!!!
We already have 8:

Judith, I saw it, just could not decide if I needed to respond. lol. I am almost thru with mine, just gotta finish buttons. Boy its been busy summer. Not complaining just stating a fact. Have had an episode with my back and hip, for about 6 days, haven't lasted this long in a while. But yesterday and today, seems to be so much better. Garden is gone, but, I have had a little more caregiving with my hubbys aunt. And hubby hurt his shoulder, tomorrow, we have a test on this shoulder to see where we stand. Well, just wanted to respond, so you would know that it is being seen. Looking forward to my partner. Gotta find some tuck ins. Farmgirl #946 Linda
Have a great week! |

Thanks, for responding, Linda! Yeah, I guess I was hoping someone would.Now, at least I can think our ladies are aware of this swap. So, I will carry on.
Sorry to hear about your back and hip. Pain is so tiring! Sounds like you've had a busy summer being a caretaker. My garden is just coming on..with lack of rain..we have had 2 beans (DH ate them both). lol
I only have one set of yo-yo s sewn..but; they won't take long!

gab until my hearts content.

Thanks Judith for Hostessing this round. Believe it or not I got all of mine done this week.
They are all ready to package up to mail...but must wait until payday, next week.
Hope some of you who have been in sweltering weather this summer are getting a break. We are
getting the sweltering 3 digit weather now. Tonight I am hot and cranky...we have a severe heat
advisory for the next 2 days.
More Later Girls.

Prayin granny, you just have fun! I'm sure our first yo-yo's were an adventure! Remember, if you have any questions just come on and ask!
Worked on my own yo-yo's last night! I just love the fabrics!
Everybody, please just have a fun time doing these! Remember, you have until Sept. 15 to mail them out!
Today, I am canning tomato juice, pickled banana peppers and bread & butter pickles. Then I will take DGD shopping for school supplies. Then relax by sewing yo-yo's. Yipee!

Hi My YoYo Mama's!!! I mailed out all the yoyo pkgs today.
Linda Rogers I found out the problem with you not getting your pkg. from me
last time. I have the wrong zipcode for you. So, the post office corrected for
me this time and I put a confirmation of delivery notice on it. I sent you new
YoYo's for Round #7 in with the Round #8 ones too.
Sounds like Julie mailed out all ready too. Feels good huh Julie...to have it all done.
I will once again head up the next round. Just a little heads up...it will be a 2/2/2 all Hearts
Fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Want to thank all my wonderful Hostesses who helped me out and gave me a big break. It was much
need with moving twice in 8 months, with my youngest grandbaby coming down with Kawasaki Disease
and the death of my little Sister last month. I couldn't have made it with out YOU!!! You ROCK!
hugs and blessings,
peggy

Peggy, glad you figured that out about the wrong zip, amazing what a little thing like a few numbers can make a big difference. Thanks for sending me all the yoyo's. I really appreciate it. I have completed mine, just gotta figure out how I want to fix them. This is a busy week, like all others, but this week is like going somewhere, retirement party, granddaughters, band night and carnival, then dinner to family at our church, and family members coming into town and to visit all day. So hopefully will get these out next monday. Oh goody, fall, thanksgiving and christmas, what fun.
Hope you are getting settled in your new place, and life resumes again.
Julie, I received you yoyo's today, thanks for the tuck=ins and the yoyo are so much fun, good fabrics. Thanks again, looking forward to the next swap.
