Regarding my husbands work colleague who wanted towels for her sons and gave me no instruction. I phoned her and managed to get a few ideas from her. My husband took them to work for her and now he has come home for lunch with 2 more towels for this lady. She wanted more of the same as what I had done.

Well done! I would say many more orders to come. Hopefully with not so urgently. Hugs Sally

Looks like you have a good new customer!!
What did you finally end up doing on the first batch?

Hi Alice,

Great news!!! This lady will be great advertisement for you. I expect you to get referrals from her. It always pays to go the extra mile if only for the advertising.

It is so wonderful that you can do this for her! But, isn't it a little too close to Christmas to be taking new orders? Please take time for yourself too.

I too have taken last minute items, as we all probably have.

Have a fantastic holiday! Rest when you can!
Hugs, Bonnie

See? We told you that would work... LOL... hope you don't have too much to do. I know how that can snowball. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Alice. Hugs, Terre

Did you post pics of what you decided on? You must have more time than I do right before Christmas!!!

Alice, it is a compliment for her to want more, and unless you are being compensated monetarily, or not, it is a bit too close to Christmas to be needing to fill orders! Think I would ask my husband to discreetly suggest to his colleague at an opportune moment that should she need items next Christmas, you need more notice to avoid rushing during the holidays! Sometimes we pay a hefty "price" for our compliments!! LOL Hugs to you, and Merry Christmas to you and your hubby!

guess it's a compliment but sounds more like being taken advantage of so close to xmas. Hopefully you are being paid. I've been 'used' several times - usually by some so-called friend, leaves you kinda huffy but what the heck. See you apparently a very very nice lady. Keep your pretty smile and be you. Hope you xmas is happy and that there are no more towels to deal with! (giggle)

I need to find the last post - what did you do for the sons with no clues? whatever it maust have been excellent! Merry Christmas!

Well obviously you did an outstanding job -as long as it's paid work, a good thing in the long run I guess :)

You've got to love him. lol
