                      | I received all of the clothespins.  I usually mail on Fridays, but I might have to make trip in on Monday to get them out, if it is too icy.  Western Washington is a skating rink for cars.

                      | Hi Trish :) I seen on the Weather Channel, just what a skating rink you all have & I know I speak for everyone here. There is no hurry to mail out. You take care & do not get yourself hurt, trying to venture out.

                      | Hey Trish, Did these go out yet? I know your roads must be scary right now. I just want to make sure that mine didn't get lost in the mail. That would be a downer.

                      | Actually, they are going out today.  I am usually only able to get to the post office on Fridays.  For the last two weeks, DH has had to work SO MUCH, because all of his crew are allergic to snow.  He promised, promised to come home in time to run to the post. Also,
 I have had to repair four sets, Which has taken some time, because that time has to be kid free.  It makes me wonder how many of my swaps made it ok ?!?

                      | Oh good :) I was just worried they had been lost (wouldn't be the first package that's gone AWOL in the last year w/USPS). I didn't mean to pressure you. Your safety is much more important than clothespins! Don't stress :) 
 That's strange that so many broke... Sorry you had to fix them in your free time :(

                      | It's bad adhesive.  I believe this is why Beth Jones stresses Ailene's/good adhesive.  It's what makes me wonder how some of my projects arrived. It's ok about fixing them, it's just hard because I am trying a new thing with my son and my craft room.  I can no longer go into hibernation when DH is home to do crafts.  I have let Owen in, he's 4..  I always try to give him the benefit of the doubt.  He is a very gentle boy, but he is just like me, a crow, blinded by shiny things. We are working on what are ok to touch, and what are mom's things.
 
 So, I can't really do the clothespins with him because they are too valuable and interesting.

                      | Hi Trish :) I sent you an email asking, if mine had to be fixed. I hope not because I used Aleene's Original tacky glue, like Beth suggested :(
