you need to use the v3 wardrobe the other one is not working. The new wardrobe does take time to get used to it but when you do it workes fine.

Oh i am hoping so. are we doing a Secret Santa this year???

secret santa secret santa secret santa!!!

Hello everyone! I'm popping in to let ya'll know I'm alive and to update you on me and my little corner of the world. I've been so busy with everything going on I don't know if I'm coming or going sometimes.

I've been working my butt off at a job that I LOVE. Unfortunately, business is slowing down due to all the coal mines shutting down, going bankrupt and Boss Man has started me working only three days a week. I'll have more time to play but I really want to work. :( This just started this week, I hope it doesn't last long and something picks up soon. I'm getting really scared that he's going to shut the business down soon because he's having me conglomerate all of the business stuff into databases and I've made databases for the databases. He keep sending workers home to save money on payroll, it's not looking promising. It makes me sad.

Our heat pump died on us a few months ago, and we decided to not fix it because it would be 1000 for the part/labor and 3000 for a new one and we didn't want to bum anymore money after the last two years of living off of others due to his job in the mines going belly up and us being in and out of work or unable to find anything. Fortunately he's getting paid to go to college through the GI bill and his VA disability came through, plus my job so we could afford a new Wood Burning stove be put in for heat this winter. We've been busy getting wood to burn but I love this heat, it's so warm and toasty. Hopefully we'll get a window ac for next summer so we won't burn up like we did this year but I'm loving this heat. :)

Kaylee, My youngest, moved out and lives with my mom now. It broke my heart but she's working and it's closer to her job. She works in a home for disabled people caring for them and is really good at it. I'm proud of her, I just miss her. Kodi, my oldest is still in College, she has one more semester to go, I think. She is doing great too.

I've turned Kaylee's room into my craft room so I can work more on my art and crafty things in my spare time. I still have her bed so she can sleep over if she wants but she never does. :(

I don't think I'll be able to run Secret Santa this year but someone else can. I'm really sorry, but I'm scared I won't be able to devote the time it needs. I would love to be a participant this year though if someone else wants to do it and be in charge. :)

I'll be in and out today if anyone needs me for anything. :)

I'm glad things are, at the moment, good for you , I will pray that they continue to improve and not go the "other" way. As far as I'm concerned, while I love secret santa, life issues are more important. So, where is my subeta xmas tree? when do I get to throw snowballs? I've missed so many Luminares, I want it all this year!!

: It is so good to hear from you, although I would have prefered better news :/ I keep my fingers crossed that your boss is not going to shut down his business. I'd like to offer my help for the Secret Santa - if you explain what I need to do :-)

Waiting for the trees as well. I finished decorating my tree, then they reset it to improve functionality :-( Why don't they think of this before the season starts? sigh

, you find your tree here: Tree But there is an ongoing discussion about the functionality ">here. It seems you can decorate them better now, but not save them...

thanks , I guess I'll just have to be patient.

, I don't mind hosting the Secret Santa this year.

I'm sorry to hear about your job situation. That does sound worrying, and the uncertainty must be awful. I'll be hoping for the best, though! I'm glad you've at least got a wood-burning stove - I don't have one, but my aunt does, and nothing quite compares :) I'm glad to hear that Kaylee and Kodi are both doing well, too.

Happy Luminaire everyone!

Like right now I am not sure if I am coming or going, life tends to get chaotic around our house during the holidays since my mom has passed all the cooking to me. Between cleaning, organizing, and cooking my days tend to run together. But it's all a nice kind of chaos this year!

I hope things pick up at work for you once again and everything works out, I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Congratulations on hugs person this month!!! great big bear hugs to you and Congratulations to on your hugs lottery win!

Thanks for the offers of help for Secret Santa. messaged me and said that she would like to do a round. She and can both take turns doing a round each. Thank you for the offer too , it is appreciated. We might get to do three rounds, we'll see how it turns out. :) They'll need people to participate as well and possibly take on a second person depending on how the categories and names come out of the bowls.

Thank ya'll for adding me to your prayers and keeping me in your thoughts. I hope things look up and stay jolly for each of you too.

(((((HUGS))))) Mary!

P.S. I strongly dislike the new wardrobe, I can't do anything. I have to keep refreshing after I save to get my layers to show up so I can move them around.

ok, finally I found the board.... Im lost all of this time I just think maybe Im no member of the group anymore. but NO, so Hello everyone. Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and a happy luminaire to all of you!!

I decorated my tree this morning. I am so glad that they are back. Kysta, I hope things pick up and your boss stays in business. It is the slow time of year at my job also. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

i am glad your jo is great, sorry it's slowing down.

yeah! i can help you host Secret Santa if you want.

made a nice game for us to play!! It involes shoes... You can find it here!

have you emptied your cache? your recent history and do a hard refresh? After doing those, you might wanna reboot. I don't have that problem with the wardrobe so it may be your computer jammed packed full of little goodies like cookies.

I am home from work and glad it's the weekend. It has been cold today, but tomorrow thru Monday we are suppose to be in the 50's. Last year at this time, we were getting pounded by snow. I hope everyone has a wonderful evening.

HiHo everyone. It's great to see all of you!!! I pray your job stays safe Kysta and your boss is able to keep his business afloat. It's great to hear how well your girls, or I should say young ladies are doing. A wood burning stove is so cozy. Glad you're enjoying it and hope you can get AC in the summer.

I've started to decorate our house so it's looking a little like Christmas here. Bought a new artificial tree that is much smaller than the huge one we had. It was so much easier to get it up the stairs and decorate it. No ladder had to be involved. Best part was I got it half price at a black Friday sale. The lights are already on it. I hated that job and wasn't good at it. I sure like it. Two granddaughters will be home for Christmas. Really looking forward to seeing them. Cheers All!!!

Thank you Leonie and Salacassera!!

Love how our trees show up under our HAs. That's so clever!!!

Oh I LOVE this time of year!! spending so much sp! ;P

Nice to see you all, and looking forward to the secret santa! Thank you and for taking care of it!

, that sounds nice! I hope you have a wonderful christmas with your family!

, big big hugs! Hope you are alright...

[edited for typo... to prevent further heart attacks... sorry!]

Ahhhh wrong one ;) Phew!!

Does there happen to be a list that links to Cult Luminaire trees??
