My wish list:

A visit from my husband.  I haven't seen him since early November.  I'm not asking for anyone to pay for the trip, just put out good vibes that it will work, he had to cancel leave b/c of college, and will reschedule.  Prayer, asking the universe, whatever.  I just need him and miss him TERRIBLY.

-Old prom gowns or cocktail dresses or bridesmaid dresses
-Gently used dressy shoes
-tuxedos or suits or men's dress shirts
-ties or bow ties
-cufflinks
-jewelry
-new pantyhose
-dressy handbags/clutches/wristlets

Anything that you think can be used for this event will be appreciated. 
Thanks for looking.

an erable address book for my desk (size doesn't matter with this one)

heart Happy February heart

My wishes this month are:

- Anything related to Disney's Snow White 

- Any beads/gems that look like rhinestones or have lots of sparkle to them 

- A heart shaped brooch (perfectly fine it's tarnished and/or needs a little love and care as jewelry repair is a hobby of mine)

- This is my longshot wish. I know that some people have vintage (1940s, 1950s) magazines that they no longer want and I would be very happy to give them a new home. Doesn't matter if they are craft, fashion, etc - I just love anything from those dedcades!

(*note* thank you for the kindhearted messages! means a lot to me! dealing with chronic illnesses & pain gets to be too much sometimes)

My wish list:

Scrapbooking/cardmaking supplies you no longer want/use(i.e.- Clear Stamps/cling stamps,alcohol inks, embossing powders, die's, etc...) I LOVE crafting!

anything my little pony:FIM(my niece LOVES mlp!)

anything dragons(hubby collects)/tinkerbell/Disney's Belle/Rainbow Bright

Lego's (love to play with these with neice & nephews!)

adult toe socks (soo comfy!)

Fabric with prints of my little pony/rainbow bright/powerpuff girls/tinkerbell/Disney princess (any amount)

       holographic fabric (any amount) (if it were a color it would be my favorite color ð)

anything you think would be entertaining while I spend the day at the hospital's Cancer Center every 28 days for treatments (only way I get to have a little bit of an immune system), ie-coloring stuff/logic puzzles/gameboy cartrages/anything really :) bordom killers are great!

 

Sorry I haven't been online much the last few months... I got really sick mid December and spent a week and a half in the hospital over Christmas.  None of my family visited me at all (except for my amazing hubby) not even a card/flower/anything :(. It was a very depressing Christmas. I still don't have much energy & sleep non stop. But I am determined to get back to sending out some wishes to make others smile <3.  Anyway... enough of my whining...

If you have anything with cat images that you'd like to rehome like old notes or Halloween decorations (Small), I would love to use them in a montage I am working on. I found magazine pictures don't seem to work too well - or stickers either.

Thanks for considering my request. laugh

Happy February!

This month I'd be very grateful for:

- Any Crockpot recipes that you've tried & loved

- A German Chocolate Cake recipe (from scratch, not box :-) that you've tried & loved.  With a couple of special upcoming birthdays I want to try to make this family favorite from scratch :-)

- Any old classic movies or sitcoms on dvd, or any comedies or romantic comedies from any era on dvd

- And as usual, anything Tiki for my little Tiki reading room - even the littlest thing has a place in the Tiki room!

Thanks so much to everyone who participates in the RAOK.

any coke codes would be welcome.

any good vibes sent to my mom would be welcome. she's having a hard time recovering from her open heart surgery. she's home, but depressed (which is fairly normal) and still in some pain. for pain she's taking percoset which has coedine in it which makes us both nauseous. so, she's pretty down. 

does anyone know of any heart surgery message boards?

thank you.

Thank you in advance for anything that you send because I can always use some happy mail

  1. Address Labels (I'm not picky about the design as long as its not nasty or demonic).... these are desperately needed since I send out alot of mail
  2. Reusable shopping bags
  3. Funny magnets and Magnets from Different states/countries
  4. K-Cups -flavored coffees (nothing BOLD) or tea, soup or hot chocolate (No green tea, carrot licorice, banana or apple flavors)
  5. Stickers especially 3D ones
  6. Coke Rewards and Pamper Points

My daughter Gabriella is 4 and she likes:

  1. Anything with Nick Jr and Disney Jr characters
  2. Baby Dolls and Barbie Dolls and could especially use clothes and other accessories
  3. Anything involving potty training including pull-ups if you have any that you don't need anymore size 5T or overnight pull-ups to fit a 40lb child
  4. She wears uniform for school and uniforms can be really expensive and get stained way too easily. So if you have size 6/6X yellow tops and navy blue bottoms and cardigans that you can pass on they would be very appreciated. Also hair accessories especially in yellow and/or blue
