I do tend to be more of a creative. ^-^ Thank you! I find it very fun and relaxing. I want to learn how to knit more.

Hi, it's nice to meet you too! That would be a really cute crochet project. I really want to learn how to crochet. I am trying to teach myself.

What are some things that you guys like to do? ^-^

Thank you! It has been nice to be doing again. Omg. Those are so cute. I would love to learn to crochet like that! The people on your Christmas gift list are very lucky. ^-^

- I can't believe it's almost half way through November. Fireside should be fun. I've got a lot of red rreign things ready for the fire. Then comes Black Friday... I've been saving all my csc for Black Friday. I'm going to get as many csc books, food, plushies, and beanbags as I can. :D

- My creative talents lie in a different area. I like to write short stories. I also love to read. The longer the book, the better. One of my favorites is "War and Peace" by Tolstoy. It's an amazing window on Russia during the early 19th century. I'm also addicted to fantasy series like Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive. When I'm not reading or online I like to listen to Netflix and spend time with my hubby and kids. :D

i find it really creative already!

oh black friday.. need to save my csc... I was hoping fireside would start this week.. -fingers crossed- Saved up on food and some pumpkins

My washing machine died on me this morning... Drat and i just did my bed and the kitty litters. Luckly mom is close so used her washing machine. And we went shopping for a new one and found a good one and a cheap one (black friday deals). It's coming on thursday.. so until then no washing. But i did manage to remove the water hose (for water in the machine) and the hose the let the water out of the machine. Proud of myself.

- it will probably start this weekend. I'll just empty my shop of food when it's time and donate it all. That's what I did last year and I got multiples of everything. I'm still carving pumpkins. Do you know if Fantine will take carved pumpkins?That stinks about the washer but at least you got a good deal on a new one. Yay for mom being close so you could use her washer. :) My washer is on it's last legs and I'm hoping we can baby it through the holidays so we won't have to worry about getting a new one until afterwards. :D

I think it will start or friday or monday, they never start in the weekend. not sure if she will takes carved pumpkins... Can't remember from last year.

I hope your washing machine will hold on.... -crosses fingers- Mine was acting up for a while but thought that would pass... it did but it died on me..

Evening shift again today, new floor so i am shadowing a co-worker as i don't know this floor (yet). Hope it goes smoothe.. Day off tomorrow and my washing machine will come, i hope within a nice time frame and not that i am stuck at home all day. I have to pick some things up like my orderd advent calendar.

- you're right, they don't start things on weekends. It'll probably be next Tuesday or Wednesday. That'll give us a full week of Fireside and lead right into Luminaire. :) What advent calendars did you get this year? Hopefully no more of that lotion that gave you the rash. An Advent calendar full of chocolate would be nice. lol You'll do fine on the new floor. You're a good nurse. :D

just saw the news, will start next week. I like it when they post about it when to start, won't keep us guessing.

My washing machine is here! They where on time around 11am and already did a load of washing. Sadly no dryer so needs to dry by it's self. So ather load will have to wait till tomorrow but i don't mind.

Advent calenders i got: -Rituals (yes the one i got rash from), but i know wich product so not using that. -Sticker 12 days advent by esthy creations (instagram), to use in my bullet journal. -milka chocolate advent calender. -6 days card calender (paper and tape, dutch store) -24 days cards and stationary calender from envycards (instagram, dutch) -25 days of bullet journal items calender by lovedbygaby (shop online). -12 days planner & stationary advent by thescrapperofhearts (online shop). AND! -24 gifts (all kinds of stuff i use) from ToffKado (dutch shop).

OMG now i am writing it down i have more then i though lol!

- I'm glad when they tell us, also. I don't like to guess when something is going to start. You're lucky they came early. I've found that when waiting for a delivery it always comes at the latest possible moment. I thought you had the 2 in 1 machines where they are both washer and dryer? I've always wanted one of those but they are expensive over here. Oh my, you have a bunch of advent calendars! your bullet journal is going to look awesome with all those goodies for it. I'm glad to see you spoiled yourself with one chocolate advent calendar. ;) Do you like Instagram? Do you use it more or less than other social media? I'm curious because I don't have an Instagram and am thinking of signing up. :D

Nope just the washing machine, don't need a dryer. I can hang it out to dry will take a wee bitlonger in winter. Dryer cost also money and we don't have combo's over here.

Been chancing my HA again for fireside, can't get the right match or massing clothes to match with.

And i seemed to find out i am missing loads of fireside plushies & beanbags. Been updating trough subetalodge and found out. But put them all on my WL so hoping to get some during the event. Hoping it starts monday somewhere during my daytime.

And yes load sof calenders.. more then last year and some of them i pre-orderd ages ago. Next year less...

I use instagram for all kind sof stuff, following shops & people i like, show them my life and the boys (cats) life and chat. I also found some penpals trough IG and met some of the people to.

- We usually don't have combos over here, either. It's more of a novelty or solution for a very tiny space and it's priced like a novelty, too. Which is why I don't have one. lol I have to use a dryer or my laundry never gets dry as it's too humid most days. I had my hubby change my HA for fireside. He found a CW background for it I didn't even realize I had. I've been updating my wl, also, in prep for Luminaire. I can't believe how many beanbags and plushies I still need. My fingers are sore from adding all of them. lol

Black Friday starts tomorrow. Get ready for the crash... 😂

It takes forever to dry here now to.. to cold... But i am no hurry. We had snow last night...! Gone now as it's raining.

You look awesome!

Oh fireside started last night while i was in bed and been working all day, home late. So missing out on a full day, no fun!

- omg, hanging clothes out when there's snow on the ground? Don't you end up with frozen clothes? No snow here, it's still too warm. We'll probably not get any again this year. (Famous last words, I know. lmao)

Thank you.Hubby says your HA looks good. :D I know, it was a sneaky start. I saw they made a news post and looked and it was announcing the start. Sneaky boogers. Now I have to figure out what is for Fireside and what's for the Cash Shop in the item directory so I can update my wishlist.

i hang them up inside. Only go outside when it's nice and warm. So no frozen clothes lol!

Say thank you to your hubby for me. Oh i don't like a sneaky start. Go to item directory and then last page there you 'see' the fireside items. Then go back 2 pages where you see where the last clothes items where on the news post then you can see what fireside items are or use subetalodge they have a whole list.

So what are you getting for the black friday sales? I am not sure yet... still have time

- Well, that makes sense, doesn't it. lol All I could do is picture you trying to get ready for work with frozen clothes. lol 😂

I used the item directory and found most of the stuff, I think. XD I like it when they include previous items in the rewards because I may not have gotten them yet. But I also don't like it because it makes it harder to identify the new items quickly. I can't use SubetaLodge because it's not compatible with my screen reader. :)

I don't know. I have saved my CSC for the last 3 months for it and now it seems overwhelming. I need a lot of the books, plushies, beanbags, stickers, and foods from there. the problem is where to begin. How about you? Are you going to get some Boutique items? :D

lol me and my frozen clothes!

Glad you found everything, i use the item directory for things like that. Very easy.

I bought some clothes from the retired subQ lines. Still have a little csc left not sure yet what to do with it. (did not save much)

For all those who practice it, Happy Thanksgiving! And for everyone, I am grateful for the friends I have made here.

emory, chrysariel,

Happy Thanksgiving! Whether you celebrate it or not the meaning remains, I am thankful for each of you. :D <3

- I was actually able to use the lists at SubetaLodge. I didn't realize they had such an extensively searchable list function over there. I dismissed it because the site had a heavy java? flash? component that my screen reader hates so I never really looked at their lists. I'm glad I decided to peek this time. :)

Maybe get one of those egg buddies everyone says are so cute, one of the ones that's retiring at the end of the sale. Or an adopt-a-pet kit although I don't know what that entails. :D <3

- congrats again on the win. Your pet is impressive! :D <3

:)

Sorry I've been quiet. Monday Facebook decided to delete my account but won't tell me why due to 'security and safety' reasons.

So just been dealing with that loss. I've had that account since 2006 or 2007 back when the site was only used by college students.

Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate.

i never had troible with subetalodge.. -checks out those egg things & adopa a pet kit- Never heard of those

Oh that's awful! They should at least tell you exactly why they deleted your acct. It could have been a misunderstanding or something and you should have been able to answer! I'm sorry, I'm sure you're gutted. I would feel that way about Subeta if they did that to me.

Thanks! So excited about my wins. Finally getting realistically 'close' to my goal of 100. At least I've hit a turning point and I know it's a matter of time and being patient now. :)
