TGI(almost)F

I am, in general, an incredibly lucky person.  On days like today, I just have to keep repeating that to myself because, well, EVERYTHING has gone wrong today. 

Because I was out with the uber-flu almost all of last week, I'm now just buried at work.  So it was particularly unfortunate that I had to spend an hour at the bank this morning disputing a random $1,000 charge that showed up on my checking account.  (As an aside, who buys a wedding cake with a stolen debit card number?  It's not like you just pick a thousand dollar cake out of a bakery case and take it with you right then.  Someone is bound to figure it out before the wedding!)  I ended up staying late at work and then, once I got home, I had received a notice which required me to comb through everything I'd ever posted to find and remove references to a particular fabric which shall remain nameless but had apparently been using a registered name without license.  Much like the fraudulent charge, it was nothing I'd done wrong, but it had to be fixed.

Anyway, I apologize for my whining, but I must postpone the debut of the Pillowcase Lunchbox Tutorial.  I will plan on posting the tutorial on Sunday, concurrent with my sending Lunchbox Swap participants their partners' information.  At that time, I'll answer any questions you may have included with your sign-up e-mails and will post a combined FAQ list.  I'm also extending the sign-up deadline to Saturday, March 15.  I am VERY excited about the Lunchbox Swap and thrilled that so many people have signed up (even my Mom!).  I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

Wedding cakes aren't normally what I think of as being purchased on purchased credit cards. Weird.

And I have the same kind of pillowcase that you posted in this entry in my linen closet.

What a crazy day! Can't wait to see the tutorial :)

When you get to the tutorial, you get to it. Don't feel like you have to do it by Sunday. It isn't any fun when you HAVE to do it. You are so giving. Rest this weekend and get well/catch up on the other things you have to. We can wait to you feel up to it.

So sorry you have had such a cruddy time. And whine all you want you deserve to. Really looking forward to your tut and the swap, and thanks for taking the time to put it together.

I would have loved to join your lunch box swap but I'm up to my neck in fabric flowers!
Sorry you had such a sucky day, let's hope your weekend is better x.

Oh I hope you are feeling better soon. Boy what stupid people to charge a Wedding cake on a stolen card. You think they would figure they would get caught when they go to pick it up.
Don't worry about the tut you just take it easy. We will all be here when you are feeling better.
Huggs,
