I guess they can be used the 'old fashioned way' though!!! LOL Neat package and wow is all I can say for all that was in your envelope.

I actually asked for pony tail holders because my hair is long and you are right the barrettes can be used on binding. I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. LOL.

I have a side winder. Does the job. Won't say it's the greatest tool known to womankind, but it winds a consistent bobbin. I would buy it again.

I use those clips to fasten the ends of fabric on bolts, one on top and one on bottom.

My secret pal box went out the morning of the 18th going way up north. It should have been there by now but Christmas delivery I guess is slow.

All this was wrapped up in a homemade blue gift bag. I am so thrilled with all my new toys and all the beaded gifts. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much fun. I appreciate it all. Merry Christmas everyone. Here are pictures.

THANK YOU to Vicki W. of Lawrenceville, Georgia for my wonderful SP. pkg. It arrived yesterday and brighten up my day. She stuffed it with a lot of cool fabric, candy, candle, kitty treats, a pretty cross with flowers on it, M & M "s....yum. My kitty thanks you for threats. And enclosed was a very pretty spring table runner with a basket of flowers on each end and in the middle square the initial "R" for my last name. SO pretty. Will enjoy everything. My SP gal should receive her box sometime next week Its going to Tennessee... way late but to many things got in the way this month. Thank you VICKI...

Mama, it's "titty pink", but I guess in some cases, could be booby color. LOL If it's for me, I'll never be able to cut it - it will be too special - our little secret!!!:D
