Are you sending pm's when you send out?

I can if someone needs me to but because of the amount of requests I will not send out PMs to everyone. I will tag people in the shipment waves posted here but it is just too many to send out individually.

 
I got my scarf! I love it! Thank you so much @@tweakabell

Excuse my no makeup look today! I was tired and headed to brunch.

Yay so excited! I would love burgundy or a neutral! I need to learn how to make these, they would be great gifts.

 
All requests are now closed!

@@lindzebra I will take your request because I did not close them on time

From this point on NO REQUESTS will be considered

 
My squid came yesterday (it is awesome)! Along with a Mickey Christmas card and Z's art titled "some nest eggs."

As today is the last day of shipping, all those on squid waitlist will not be receiving a squid. Your scarves will be mailed out.

 
@Tweakabell  thank you so much!  I am happy with a scarf as I knew the squid was a long shot - so time consuming ~ you really are talented.  I will post a pic of the scarf when I get it - thank you again and Merry Christmas!

 
aall but 3 packages were mailed out earlier then my bank halted card use at the kiosk, lol SO MANY PACKAGES!

 
Thanks for showing us the birthing of the squids! <3 "sew" much work :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They are just too cute and it was so sweet of you to make them for so many!

 
Squid and scarf arrived safely yesterday! I love Z's artwork, that's super sweet and thoughtful of her to draw pictures to include! Black and purple squid! Aaaahhhhh! :wub:

Thank you for making these this Christmas! :hugs3:
