East or West? There are a lot of us in both directions.

(I'm not telling about or sharing my red licorice or chocolates. ) You did not just read that ! Charles, thank you so much. I really appreciate everything. And I want to say thank you for your service and sacrafice for all of us in your sevice to our country ! God Bless. Sara

Hi Sara. Charles has asked me to send you a message. He is "dictating" it and I am just typing it for him.

He says...
Sara I am glad that you like what I sent to you. My wife made the chair caddy for me after I asked her to make one for you. I am still not going to learn to sew. But I am having fun doing the swap with everyone. I like the color blue and just assume that you probably did too. And you are welcome for my Military Service. Now is it time to sign up for the November Secret Pal Swap?

Now for what I want to say....
I want to say Thank you to everyone for allowing Charles to join us in the Swap. He is so enjoying it. And he is so anxious to do the next one he is like a child in a candy store.
He does not sew at all, but I have started him a little "stash" of his own for the months he chooses to do the swap. Oh and dont ever be surprised if he sends a package of JUST CANDY. As he has been "candy" shopping and has quite a bit. Lori he is still sending you the gummy bears. Its a 6 pound bags worth!!!! I will try to get him to send it to you Friday when we go to town.

just in case I have a international secret pal.. what do you international girls really need from the states that you cannot get over there?

now remember.. this is a just in case scenario....

just in case I have one this month, or next month.. or the next month.

Kriscraft..awesome package you got.
And Sara, sounds like a Charles did a good job putting a package together for you.

Mary, you never said where that package is going other than to someone special to you, so do expand on that...please :mrgreen:

Ladybug, I just may have to bribe Lori :mrgreen:

And Crafty Darlene, don't think thomp's package is yours..she mentioned before that it was heading west...I think zip code adds up to 20some , maybe 23.

Ok, international pal, I believe your package has crosses our border. Let's see how much longer before you get it :P

Oh, Candi, you are so good! Zipcode is plain old 20. I will definately try to get it in the mail on Tuesday morning. Then I will go sit on the bench with a cup of tea and a good book, and enjoy the beautiful fall weather we are having!
