I didn't hear from about half of you 

with your addresses and such, 

so this is why I am doing this the 

way I am doing it.

Now that you know who your partner is, 

please go to the original blog post 

I wrote where you signed up

by clicking here.

Find your partner.  Click on their name...

go to their blog and introduce yourself as their

The Benner Daily Ornament Exchange partner.

Get their email address, and address.

Now, ladies... start your crafting engines and 

make, or buy something awesome

for your partner!

I am expecting everyone to pull through

for each other, and send your ornaments.

There are a couple people on the list

that are overseas.  It is *not* expensive to send 

stuff overseas.  

I promise.

I do it all the time.  :)

Now have fun!

And!  Don't forget to upload the ornaments you

receive in our Flickr group!

I will be back later with a Thankful post!

For now it's back to sewing for me.

So much to share! AND TVP Giveaway WINNER!

I am so excited to

finally announce why Arizonians

This is why...

I can't wait!!  Invite any and everyone you know to come!!

I did a newborn photo shoot yesterday...

here are a couple pictures from the shoot.

Isn't she adorable?  Oh man!  I got baby fever BIG time!  I always

forget how little newborns are.  She was teeny.

And so cute!  She definitely did not like

have her clothes off.  LOL!

More soon!

I wanted to mention how magical spray paint is...

I knew I had a photo shoot yesterday.

I have been wanting to buy an old chair at Goodwill

and give it new life with spraypaint...

So, I found a good chair...

Ugly, but good bones.

I bought Primer and my desired spray paint color...

I primed it...

And look at it now!!

Told you!  Spray paint is magical.

What is on said chair?

Well. last night I whipped up a scarf for the

Joyshope Scarf Along.

I think it turned out really cute!

And it's even cuter on my "new" chair.  :)

Oh, and I finished Angelina's quilt top on Saturday!!!

I was so excited that I threw it in the box

along with the backing and note to the longarm quilter.

Then I realized later that night that I completely

forgot to include an extra yard of fabric

for the binding!  Ahhh!

I will be sending that today.  LOL!

Sorry for the bad pictures!

I didn't finish it until it was dark out,

so I had to use my flash.  Yuk!

But, I think you get the gist.

This quilt wasn't hard to sew together,

but it was a HUGE PAIN IN MY REAR-END

to cut all those blasted triangles!

Not sure if I will ever make this pattern again,

but it does look fantastic!!

I can not wait to get it back and see it completed.

Angelina will be incredibly excited!

Book Clubbers... we have a schedule change for our meetings which are normally on Thursdays.  From now on, we are going to hold the meeting chats on Wednesdays at 8pm Arizona time.  That would be 7pm Pacific time, 9pm Mid-west time, and 10pm East coast time.  I really hope this works out for most of you!  We would love to see everyone there!!!  You do not have to have Twitter anymore to join the chats!  I just need you to send me your email address every Wed. so I can email you the chat room invite.  :)  This I think will work out a lot better for everyone.  Twitter has been acting up a lot lately.  Please comment on this post and let me know if you will be able to make the new night and time.  See you then!!  

xoxo.

Ornament Exchange!! Everyone... sign up!

Good Monday to you!

First off... BOOKCLUBBERS... we postponed out meeting last week due to technical difficulties!  The new meeting is TONIGHT at 7:30pm Arizona time.  Remember, we do not change our clocks.  We are 2 hours behind East Coast, 1 hour behind the Mid-West, and 1 hour ahead of West Coasters.  Hope to see you all there!!

OK!!

Well... here we go!  It's time to sign-up for

The Benner Daily's first ever

Depending on how this goes, we may

make this an annual event!

Rules are as follows:

1. Sign-up with Mr. Linky [below] - enter your name and blog address.

2.  I need everyone to be committed to sending an ornament of about $10 [changing original idea for this.  You can BUY an ornament but spend no more than $10... buy anywhere from Etsy, Hallmark, Target, etc., or hand make one.]

3.  On November 19th I will assign everyone a partner.  I will also give you your partners name & address.  Your partner will also be assigned to you.

4.  Please email me: shealynn AT gmail.com with your name, home address, and blog address.  Subject line in your email should read: TBD Ornament Swap

5.  Ornaments must be mailed no later than Dec. 6th - this will give your partner enough time to enjoy their new ornament.  :)

6.  Have fun!  And, please tell anyone and everyone!  Let's spread the word!

Feel free to share the ornament you received by uploading a picture(s) to the new Flickr pool by CLICKING HERE.

*Also... I want this to be fun, however, I am not responsible for any non-senders.  If you're signing up, I will trust that you will be sending your partner's ornament NO LATER than Dec. 6th.

Thank you to all who are entering!!  I'd like to make this an annual event... please spread the word!!
