TAJ Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! to my easter bunny =-) "its soooooooooooo cute" says my 9 year old James, and I agree - the gift is gorgeous - a patchwork wall hanging and eight coasters. I am very touched that someone has gone to so much trouble to make it - it has quite made my morning. I will do my best to post a photo later. Thankyou again! I am glad you liked it - I am also glad to know it arrived as I will be away come the weekend. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oniondog Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Very excited -- my parcel arrived yesterday. I am trying to be restrained and wait until Sunday. Thank you Easter Bunny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I posted mine off yesterday and I hope the person likes it...Am not too sure, it's a bit of a marmite present, where you either love it or hate it, I just hope it arrives in time. Mine's not arrived just yet, but that may change as the postie hasn't come today yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Mines arrived today! I'm being very restrained from opening it. I was out and I'd come over very down - just a bit lonely and feeling sad so when I saw it on the doorstep (very secure don't worry!) it put a smile on my face! Sometimes it just seems wrong that my friends are all in Cyberspace and that I have to sit in Costa on my own. I'll be up early Sunday Morning!!

Cooks Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm feeling very ashamed and a little left out that I didn't take part so I will do next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Marple Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thank you Secret Easter Bunny!!! Mine arrived today also. I am so impatient that I have opened it to reveal three lovely chickens. Just perfect for my that I collected today!!! Only joking!! These chickens need a home in the warmth indoors. I have no idea who they are from but I am very impressed! I will go through this thread and try to guess. Don't worry CookieMonster Chief Bunny Cathy is so good at this thast she will probably organise a 'Secret Summer Solstice' or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect my bunny didn't knit the Aero egg but it was all gorgeous. I will post photos when i take some. Many many thanks to my bunny, i feel very lucky, as i did at Christmas. The plum jam was gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thank you Chief Bunny, have a good one yourself! Are you going somewhere nice? How long will you have Forum withdrawal for? I find it very difficult to last a day, but do manage to achieve such a lot if I don't keep popping in & out......!!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 I am going to visit my bro in southend (or somewhere near there ) its bro and nephs baptism (promise thingy ) ive never been to a baptist church before, really looking forward to the whole thing (including spending time with the family ) back straight after the weekend, thanks for the banner, its lovely cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Have a lovely time! We had a cross generation ceremony when my sis was Christened with my DS, which meant she could then be DD's godmother 3 years later! Never been to a Baptist one either, wonder what the difference is?! You have ANH to thank for me discovering Best Smileys! I've just been sewing a messenger bag from the new book DH brought me - see I didn't buy it, it was a pressie! - not in Snowy's league but I'm quite pleased for a first attempt! Everyone will be getting bags for Christmas and birthdays this year!!! Take care, Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Have a lovely time Cathy, and thanks for all your hard work in organising this for us! xxx And the Baptist thing? It'll be a full dunky under the water job! Us Baptists don't do things by halves! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Glad that everyone's presents seem to be arriving nicely Couperwife if you haven't seen a Baptist baptism before you're in for a treat! I presume it's an adult baptism, or at least not an infant one? One where the person is old enough to have made their own mind up about their faith? As Snowy says it's " Baptism by full immersion" , or in other words "a full dunking". I was baptised 4 1/2 years ago, & the water was lovely & warm, it was like getting into a really deep ( think chest-height, but then again I am only 5 foot tall) bath. BTW there is nothing "special" aligned to the water used in the baptism, the baptism itself is a symbol of an outward showing of an inward faith, declaring a personal faith in Jesus & His death & resurrection & our faith publically. Have a lovely weekend with your family, & Happy Easter everyone x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Just had a thought- if the service is for a little one then it might be a "dedication service"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
