&lt;p&gt;I was looking at some Dec. mail and saw the pics of your kids with Santa.&amp;nbsp; What is the breed?&amp;nbsp; They look so lovely in their coats.&amp;nbsp; I have a Carin Terrier and she&amp;#39;d go crazy dressing her.&amp;nbsp; She even hates the bows the groomer puts in her hair and the scarf around her neck.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Want to thank you here for the SS box of goodies.&amp;nbsp; They are a great addition to my work space.&amp;nbsp; I posted a pic in the Fabric Swap area, but here&amp;#39;s another here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year ...Caryl in Buda TX&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just clearing out some of my mail and came across this, so sorry Caryl that I didn&amp;#39;t see it sooner. You are very welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My fur babies are West Highland White Terriers.. Kerri Pearl is the girl bd - 2/8/2005 &amp;amp; The Rocket bd - 2-18-2005... the girl is the one in the orange. They really don&amp;#39;t care what we do to them as long as they can be with us. We usually don&amp;#39;t fuss with them, but it was raining and I wanted them to use their rain gear at least once. lol.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We love them dearly and with their newly adopted sister, Ms Boots, a gray tabby we have quite a family now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;xoxoxo,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;could you please check the list I have put there - some members have contacted me about receiving packages and I have marked them off the list - other names I have no idea about - if you know anything or if you have rec&amp;#39;d yours and I don&amp;#39;t have you marked rec&amp;#39;d - please contact me. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I do not want anyone who participated in the SS program this year to miss out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much for making this such an easy program to run... now we hope for a very smooth ending...&lt;/p&gt;

I was worried all weekend not seeing it in the other discussions. I had &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal;"&gt;sew&lt;/b&gt; very much fun doing the personal gifts and hope you are planning fun appliques with all the bits and pieces, fats and jelly strips. You have that shoe baggie to travel your favorite slippers, so they will be at hand wherever your feet hit the peddle...LOL I truly enjoyed the sewing and shopping for my favorite notions and a few new goodies just for you. (I bought my first pair of gloves this year.)&lt;br /&gt;I had so much fun again this year, can hardly wait until next time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;#39;Georgia&amp;#39;,&amp;#39;serif&amp;#39;;color:#e46c0a;font-size:12pt;mso-themecolor:accent6;mso-themeshade:191;mso-style-textfill-fill-color:#E46C0A;mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor:accent6;mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha:100.0%;"&gt;Have a glass of wine for me, &lt;br /&gt;Happy Birthday!

&lt;div style="CLEAR:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LOL, Marie, I don&amp;#39;t think you would really want to sit on his lap... he was about 16 years old. One of the volunteer&amp;#39;s son.. Next year The gentleman with the real beard my DH has been drafted to be Santa for the event and he is already getting gitty! It is one of his life aspirations. LOL&lt;/p&gt;
