No @MoonandStars83 while it's a nifty box, it's just an image I found online
Although you do have me wondering ... what would happen if I put the names in a box and drew them out when assigning buddies?

Checking in a bit early as well.

I'm still in the brainstorming phase of creation, but I've got a few ideas I'm bouncing around. Hoping to get in game this weekend to see if I can make some progress on them! I'll go ahead and check in a tad early too, just in case I forget on my busy Monday.

Yes ... I do know. (trying to look innocent while whistling)

I'm going to check in early too. Today is my only free day between now and Tuesday... I'm rattling some ideas around in my head right now, but I'm about to head over to Pinterest and Google to get some more concrete inspiration.

The other trick is to not get way laid by cold/flu germs that grandkids bring home from school. First week and half the house is already down with the annual "back to school" bug.

ps, lucky for me hubby speaks fluent take out at the local Chinese restaurant and brought home soup & spicy food

Yes, avoiding the "back to school" bug is a handy trick indeed. I don't know about the rest of y'all but my two (daughter and hubby) would bring things homes from school or work and they'd have it mild but as soon as the round got to me, it was worse. Ugh!

@Addy - You did see that I also checked in early??? Just didn't want you to miss that. OR, think I forgot. (my "early check in" was posted on page 6)

MoonandStars83

@ADWilson Madness. That's what would happen. Possibly even fun madness.

HELLOOOOOOO!!!! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. Sure, there's still some time left (for some), but I wanted to get this in before I leave for the night.

I wanted to say that I've got 2 "ready-to-go" gifts for my buddy. One of the main gifts - which I am currently working on - I am taking a breather from. Let me just tell YOU - my buddy... I really hope you'll be impressed with it. I am pouring my heart & soul into it.

****************************

Ok! That's all I wanted to say. Y'all can carry on and go back to your regular planning, scheming, pounding of nails, splashing of color, and whatnot.

Me too, I hope everything is going smoothly with your gifts and that you were able to enjoy your weekend.

Just made a tiny edit to my buddy letter (it's in bold at the bottom) since I just thought of something else I'd prefer not to have, lol.

Got inspired while I was out earlier today, and now I'm trying to figure out the best way to create what I want in game. Might require some trial and error!

ADWilson

Sweet!
EVERYBODY has checked in early for the next check-in

From the sounds of things, y'all have it all under control.
Keep up the good work!

Playing TS4 and then going back to TS3 is a bit of a challenge. Can't tell you the amount of times, I pressed the wrong button for what I want to do. Ah well! I got one gift done buddy, and working on number 2 right now!

I've always wondered what slowly going insane felt like. Now I know.
