Thank you, thank you! I received my beautiful stripes and love everyone of them - only recognize a few, but most are new to me! - Can't wait to get started on one of Edita's projects. Thanks Barb and everyone that joined in the fun.

BARB - THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
THANK YOU ALL WHO PARTICIPATED
SOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

LadyPenelope and anyone else on this continent still waiting: PERSEVERE - they've managed to swim accross the big blue sea - they'll manage the last few miles too
AND THE WAIT IS SOOOOOOOO WORTH IT

Lottie your right it is only your signature. It doesn't work on mine when I tap it in my iPhone. Too weird.

i just tried it - strange - when i did my signature i must have managed to check something that also copies the link - havn't seen it happening on anyone elses - wierd
trust me to accidentally find the complicated version - or the one that gives them free advertising

I agree Margo, printing out the instructions is how I did it way back when. I was just so surprised when the instructions popped up I just had to post. It happened on my iPhone and don't know if it will happen on a computer. May you have a grateful day today.

WOW! Katie, I didn't know that!!

If anyone is having trouble with the "live signature" you will find detailed directions here: [url]forum/forum-questions-and-suggestions/3670-signatures-on-the-forum[/url]
It's best to print out the directions and follow them precisely, step by step. It took some of us several tries to get it right, but it's worth the effort!

Ya learn something everyday. I accidentally tapped Lottie's signature and it took me to a page of instructions on how to make a live signature.

yup - insane
my parents live only about 10 miles from the us boarder - most of my friends have a po box in the states for when our dear canadian post is on strike - or for shipments that cost a fortune to cross the boarder - or - as you say - take an extra 2 weeks.
when i sent myself packages from pike river (canada) in march - they took over a week just to LEAVE canada (at least one good thing about being able to track them now) but then they were in limbo for the next 2 months....
the parcels i shipped from st. albans or from the tiny little post office in swanton, vermont took almost exactly 1 week to get to switzerland - being home well before me - waiting for my return in my office very very very wierd

Lotti isn't it crazy the wait from Canada when I sent HST to Texas it only took one week, getting them back took three weeks. I still do not have my strips. Now the post office is set to go out on strike, there oughta be a law. Pay on performance.

don't know about to the UK - but would think it's similar as to switzerland
in my experience, priority post parcels take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks - hey still much better than the stuff from canada - i regulary wait 2 months for my parcels - last year getting my christmas presents (which were posted in NOVEMBER) - just in time for EASTER...
hope and smile - drink a cup of tea and imagine what you will be doing with all the lovely strips that are coming SOOOOOOOON
also still waiting

I have been anxiously watching for the postman - but no package yet, post to the UK does take a while, but does anyone have an idea when it might arrive?

Thanks in anticipation!

My package of strips arrived Thursday!! I spent 3 days playing and sorting the beautiful strips. It is amazing that there are very few duplicates! All the different colors and patterns were amazing spread out over the table. My husband said it was great to see me so excited!

I want to thank Lotti for the 200 strips, Karen for Edyta's book, the other members who also sent me strips and to Barb for sending this all. Over the months, I have looked forward to reading all the posts from the "Strippers" and the "HSTs". I have really enjoyed the many supporting emails that I have received from the group.

My chemo is doing well, but I have my good and bad days which are expected. I did finally lose most of my hair so my husband shaved it off last week. "Bald " is not so bad!! Again, thank you all for your kindness and generosity!
