Free Stuff----------

[raysouth]

In an attempt to keep things as easy as possible for me, I have decided it would be best to have a cutoff date for the collectibles offer of free items for postage only.

To allow any other interested folks to take advantage of the offer, I will now leave the offer on the table until December 31 at midnight. Good way to end a great year. Then should begin my selection of items to ship in the new year, during January or whenever folks would like to have the items shipped.

As we wind down another year, I reflect on the pleasure life has brought to me and hope that the same would be for the folks on the site. We are truly blessed and enjoy sharing my time with everyone here.

May the Christmas Season and the coming New Year, be filled with nothing but good times for all.

God Bless.

Hello Twin Oaks,

Thank you for the praise. Just another fun thing to do. Hope more folks decide to get on the list and send me their mailing address and info @ what they like to collect. Was able to walk around the shop yesterday and caused me to stop and wonder how I ever amassed so many things. Just never seemed to have enough. lol.

Hope all is well in your area and that you were able to find others in a guild.

God Bless.

Yes Ray, I was able to meet up with the ALG for the last meeting. They're a really nice group of folks. We also just got a new member from Guntersville here on the forums. Thank you for the lead on them.

DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE "FREE STUFF" BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON THE EVE OF THE NEW YEAR. POSTAGE ONLY AND SOME INTERESTING GOODIES COULD BE HEADED YOUR WAY. LOL.

GOD BLESS AND LET US ALL HAVE A SUPERB 2015.

Hi Ray. Just getting into leather work. Made my wife a purse for Christmas. I am interested in trying to learn leaf pattern carving/stamping.

Thank You,

Brandon

Hello Brandon.

Glad to see that you have taken an interest in leatherwork. You will master that which you seek to do and with the assistance from the members here, there is nothing would prevent you from becoming a master of the craft. Great place to be and certain that your wife loves the purse. Nice to have some personal attachment to something, rather than something purchased from China, Pakistan, India, or all of the other mass production places.

I can imagine that it is a thrill, to teach and show the world to your children. So many of the children today don't even seem to know the names of the states and must no longer be a school topic. Heard one kid ask if Idaho was a place in India. lol.

Well, today ends another year for us. I sincerely hope that you and yours have all the best in the coming year. Live life to the fullest as it is so short, in terms of things we would like to do and learn.

God Bless.

Ray it is nice to find people like you ( With the knowledge that it is better to give than receive ) it is a very kind act and hopefully as the old saying you will be reward for your kind act.
