Ok today my computer did read the scan disk and here is my first set I received at the beginning of the month.
Now Brenda are the ones you are sending for Jan or were they Dec? I ask as I'm still waiting to hear what happened to my 2nd set in Dec. If yours are from Dec it is even funnier. ;-) If not, then I think my 2nd Dec package is in the bottom of one of the postal canvas bags that someone tossed in the corner of the sort facility and they should go over and fold them neatly so they can discover they left my package in it.

OOOOOOO I LOVE the cupids!!!!!!

the ones I'm sending are from this month...with the Valentines theme..

If anyone is looking for the red with gold cupids, PM me, I may be able to get you some. :-)

I would traci, what would u like in return??

Traci, I went to a couple of Hancock's today and did not find that fabric in the leftover Christmas fabric. It is really cute. but now I don't think I can afford it .... found some perfect fabrics for upcoming months. Then I went to another place (Fabric Recycles) to buy more ... and a sewing machine that will be great for teaching a sewing class this summer. What a profitable day!

I have some really pretty yellow fabric with shamrocks on it that i wanted to share. I really like this fabric and I do not like yellow fabric. Its worth sharing :) but then there is this pretty purple in my stash that says share me share me! and its not st. pats. argh!

Ok do you know why there pigs on Irish St. patricks day items? (such as vintage post cards) its because of the famine that hit Ireland. If you had a pig you were very lucky because you had food. Just thought I would toss that out to you. I couldnt figure out why there was always this silly pig on the cards I collected. like ok we know about gold and rainbows and lephrechauns but a pig? really? lol so now I have lucky pigs that go out with my St. Pat decor.

I would love it! Also, thanks for the pig info...I collect pig stuff...It started as a joke, as one of my favorite sayings was "When pigs fly!" Several years back one of my best friend's husband found a pig with wings when they were on vacation, and they bought it for me...from there it just snowballed...
