Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Riana, love the way you laid out those love letters blocks. It's always fun to see what happens when a whole new secondary pattern emerges. When I saw you picture I didn't even see the love letter blocks until I looked closer."
Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Donna, sounds like you've joined the right bunch here. Finding things is quite the norm with this crowd. Isn't it something when we find all these "things" that we put away so we'd know where they are and then…"

Linda Koller said… Gail, feel free to take part in all the discussions. Sometime in January I will be asking to see who wants to participate next year. Then I send out questionnaires. Secret Santa sisters will be assigned usually in April. Then you have all year to work on things for your SS box. We mail them out around the first Saturday in December.
This year we had a couple of contests. There are discussions all year trying to find answers to questions that maybe weren't on the questionnaires. We post tutorials for gift ideas. We have general discussions too.
So welcome to the group. Take part so we can get to know you for next year!
Linda
