If you need a street address email either myself or Cheryl and we’ll give you Cheryl’s work address.<BR/><BR/>Kate J: Thanks for ordering the mattress pad. I think it will really help Beth. I’m looking forward to it arriving. Maybe it will arrive before Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Lisa Moon: Stamping is new for us too – have only been doing it since earlier this summer. Fortunately Cheryl has many years stamping experience and has shown us the ropes and lent us some stamps. We’ve picked up a few supplies at Stampers on Quadra Street – they have a great selection and the only place we know that carries stamps from the Old Island Stamp Company which is based on Saltspring Island.Linda McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135680064533305212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-5084907254176341252008-12-13T20:21:00.000-08:002008-12-13T20:21:00.000-08:00I'm glad to hear you were able to go out and enjoy...I'm glad to hear you were able to go out and enjoy something for yourself, Linda. As caregivers, it is all to easy to neglect oneself due to your busy schedule caring for your loved one(s).<BR/><BR/>Great information about the stamps, too! I didn't know anything about stamps before, but now have an idea of what to look for, should I come across something. :)<BR/><BR/>I do so wish I had the means to be one to gift each of you with something wonderful on your Amazon list... instead, I shall wish many wonderful things coming your way.Lisa Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09270449917254845437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-71084918450207312252008-12-12T05:57:00.000-08:002008-12-12T05:57:00.000-08:00I ordered one of the bed-pads for Beth.

We can't seem to find something similar in a tub where all you have to add is water. The nearest are individual gravy packets which are more expensive. All the bistro mixes require meat drippings for the flavour.<BR/><BR/>Veralidaine: I'm so glad you love sending gifts to Beth - I agree that it is very fun shopping for her because of her unusual tastes.<BR/><BR/>If all you know about my tastes is that I like strawberries, lasagna, deer and Beth and that I hate raisins, I guess I better provide more suggestions. Actually, I used to collect stuff like elaborate children's pop up books and musical boxes, but over the years I've gone off all of that. I'm afraid I've become a very boring individual - even Beth complains that it's hard to buy for me as I don't have much interest in stuff. So... let's see: I do like milk chocolate - especially if it's combined with anything hazelnut. Every few months I buy myself a jar of nutella for my morning toast and indulge. I like nice soaps and creams but don't have time these days for bubble baths. Not so much for the baths themselves but for the time to scrub the tub beforehand:) I love stationery (pens, notebooks, colorful post-its) - going to stores like Staples is dangerous as I always come out with more than is on my list. I enjoy scrapbooking but only have time to do it a few days a year. I want to do my Japan album over Christmas but haven't printed out my photos at Prism Imaging in town. They are the best at developing the pictures - got some done at Walmart and I wasn't impressed. I enjoy fresh flowers - daffodils are may favourite - I'm glad I live in Victoria as this where Canada grows their daffodils - there are fields and fields of them in the spring and they get sent all over the country.<BR/><BR/>Guess that's it for now.<BR/><BR/>Raccoon: We've both got bento boxes - your recipe sounds intriguing.<BR/><BR/>Yanub: I'm glad the list will be helpful.Linda McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135680064533305212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-32770163540334761362008-12-11T01:34:00.000-08:002008-12-11T01:34:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing what sort of things you two wil...Thanks for sharing what sort of things you two will use!

We will listen, and we will comment, just like we do with Beth.<BR/><BR/>Which of you liked the bento boxes? I found a site that describes how to make Totoro meals for bento boxes, if you'd like.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of phone numbers... I have one that I think is yours. I've had it for a few months. Might I try calling one day?Raccoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265976439964449640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-43579017593983938522008-12-10T11:04:00.000-08:002008-12-10T11:04:00.000-08:00Thank you for this, Linda!

I love to send gifts to Beth, and I'm very happy to have more suggestions. It is very fun to shop for Beth because she has such interesting, unusual tastes and likes things that I wish I was brave enough to wear!<BR/><BR/>I would like to know more about YOUR tastes, too, so I'm going to take a good look at the wishlist. In the last couple little packages I sent Beth, I tried to include at least one thing the two of you could enjoy together, but pretty much all I knew about your tastes is that you like strawberries, lasagna, deer, and Beth, and that you hate raisins.Veralidainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088847533106124184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-78947712091627825682008-12-10T05:45:00.000-08:002008-12-10T05:45:00.000-08:00gravy granules have been posted and should be ther...gravy granules have been posted and should be there by next week. :) Enjoy!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318175058033239981noreply@blogger.com
