Hey all,

Just a quickie post to let you know there will be a Fall 2008 cocoa swap. The blog link is here

Can't wait to see you again in the fall!

Calling my angels

Hey everyone!

I am in need of one angel to send to a recipient in the states. Please e-mail me at cocoahostesslesley AT live DOT ca if you can do this.

Just thought I'd save myself some work by getting you to come forward rather than e-mailing everyone on my list who said they'd angel :)

And the winners:

Random Draw from contest entries who will each receive a gift certificate from Mochimochiland!

Amanda D!

Devin!

Felicia!

Congrats and thanks for the entries!

Look for an e-mail soon with your code.

BUSTER BUDDIES!!!!

Hey all! I'm going to try and do this as a blog post, cross your fingers for me!

First up, a couple people created blog posts for their buddies over on their own blogs, so I'll link them instead of re-writing the posts:

Here is Baby Button, who lives at Amanda D's house

And here is a wee mousie who lives at Tara's house.

Here is Amanda R's duck...who is apparently fond of wine and gaming



Brenda had to be firm with Dink about glue...Dink was not pleased.


Here is Debbie W's Bluebeard, hanging out with her dog and her other knit pals



Devin introduced Margaret and Baby Francis to her Sheep-in-residence Sherman and her pup Chester



I'm partial to this one because it's my knitting, lol! But here is Elizabeth's new pal Wendy, meeting her pup Grace and helping her study psychology



Evelyn made herself right at home at Felicia's house, and with with Felicia's yarn



Jenn's Marshmallow Men have very good taste in knitting projects...and a daredevil side!



JoAnn's cat Scoochie is quite fond of her buddy


Katherine's Miss Bean enjoys a snack and hanging out with the wee one



Kathy's Beebee has become a favourite knitting companion



Kathy R's little heart enjoys a nice wine with her dinner, and always helps with the washing up



This is Rochelle, a knitting octopus. She lives with Katie and enjoys hanging out with the cat



Kirsten's new buddy Red got to hang out with the kitty buddy she made for her pal just before she sent it off. Red also believes he has superpowers.



Carissa says that Bumbledore is adjusting to university living by making cool new friends and eating a "healthy" breakfast



Maria's little Frankie Jr likes to snuggle with Frankie Sr, and sometimes hangs out with the puppy



Melanie's new pal Cocoa likes to snuggle with her daughter and catch up on the latest blog posts



Calypso, or Cali for short, enjoys a cup of cocoa with Nancy and hanging out with Reggae



Nicole's new buddies look after her grandbabies (while she knits I assume?)



Rachel S's buddy is also good with kids



Rachel C's buddy Elkie is getting aling great with her non-knit counterparts



Sarah P's kitty is settling in with a book and getting some knitting done



Sarah J's kitty Purl gets along great with her real kitty Chloe, and loves sock yarn (I don't blame her, I love sock yarn too!)



Sophie's little pal Red Maple is finding her way around her new home



Tanya's little Kitty enjoys the signs of spring and reading



And finally, Tricia's new buddy shows off his creative side


Okay, I'm off to settle my baby down for a nap, when I return I'll do the draw for prizes.

Sorry

Hi guys,


I know you are all (well, some of you anyway) are waiting for the post with the Buster Buddies and it's coming I promise. Ours is the house of the sick right now (daughter with ear infection and cold, baby with really bad cough and congestion, husband with pnuemonia) and I've not had any time. I'm hoping to get to it tonight and then get out the prizes.

Could someone please add some hours to the day? I need about 6 extra...thanks!

Last Call

Hi all,

Last call for entries for the Blues Buster Buddy Contest! I'm going to close it on Friday and hopefully have it loaded over the weekend with winners announced on Monday. Please e-mail them to me at cocoahostesslesley@live.ca

Also, if you still have not received a package or parts of your package and have not been assigned angels for those, please e-mail either Michelle or myself.

Overall I think our success rate has been really good, thanks everyone for making this a great swap!

Early Bird Draw

Making this very quick without since I'm up to my eyeballs in party prep for my daughter's 3rd birthday extravaganza.

Just a reminder, this is a draw from everyone who had their Blues Buster Buddy contest pics to me before yesterday's deadline, and the winner's name goes back into the draw for one of 3 prize draws once the final contest goes up.

And the winner is:

Tricia Reilly!!

Tricia, starting Monday, watch your inbox for a gift certificate from Mochimochiland, home of really adorable knit toy patterns! Congrats!

Note: Because this weekend is my daughter`s party and Monday is her actual b-day, you`ll have to forgive me if I`m not getting back to e-mails right away. I`m just swamped (14 kids at the party today...most of them under 5. GAH!)
