Maggie is first in this afternoon with her scissors.

 54.  "Hi Jane - well, its been a fun ride - enjoyed it immensely and learned a lot too. Both scissors will be hung in my desk area at work for now. My tatting assistants are still campaigning for them to be cat toys but I'll give the fuzzies treats instead as a reward for good (or bad) behavior.
Thanks for all your work on this blog - hope you had as much fun as we all did.
Maggie (from Poway, California near San Diego) "

Melanie is the next person to wander into my inbox. She says:-

56. "Good morning Jane-

I have caught up after a wet California weekend of house hunting. Fortunately, the rain held off while we were actually going into houses. I did take off my shoes at each front door so I wouldn't track in anything. Still haven't found "the" house. Sigh. But! I did finished the scissors!!!!!!

Thank you for another wonderful tatting experience.
Melanie"

Nikki is next to arrive with her scissors. She says:-

57. "Had a busy weekend but finished my scissors this morning. They are sooooo nice. Loved the TIAS this year! I'm actually going to make a long chain n tassel at the end of one of the circles to give to a friend who is a hair stylist. :-)"

Oh my. My past has come back to haunt me!!!! Katie has sent in her scissors along with several other TIAS motifs too.

58. "Hi, Jane,
the scissors brigade now joins other TIAS buddies. It's been a grand game, Jane! Thanks so much. Hey, the goat pattern is important this year--the year of the Goat!
