Lori,

Glad you slept in, it does a body good to be able to do that
from time to time.

Happy that the snickers egg and m&m's were a hit, I love them
too, just can't eat them like I want (a nibble here and there at times).

Share some of the pony tail holders with the little cutie (granddaughter);
share with quilting and sewing friends also, but don't forget to share with
yourself, they work GREAT for spools of thread and bobbins too.

My daughters (the oldest and youngest at least) LOVES the Bliss hot
chocolates they have 4 flavors, milk, dark, white & raspberry. My youngest
daughter loves the raspberry the best (so far just sent her the milk and dark)
but she said the white was good too. I know I only sent the raspberry and milk
to youbut maybe next time it can be the other two flavors.

I don't "read" books as much as I use to; at least not since I got my iPod
2-1/2 years ago and started listening to audiobooks again. But I do love
bookmarks (hence why I make so many). I wanted to send you a floral
bookmark, but didn't know what flower(s) you liked best.

The pen I got at WalMart when I go back I will see if they have any more
and pick up a couple extra for you if they do.

I knew you liked cat fabrics so I wanted to make sure to send you some
more in this package like I did with the RAK package I sent in January. The
fishhook fabric I found at a local store that does a unique thing, they by fabric
by the pound from general public (up to a certain amount) and then sale it for
$5.00 per yard on quilt shop quality, and $1.99 per yard for chain store (like
Wal Mart, Hobby Lobby & Joanns). So most the time if you see something
you like you best get it right then or it will be gone (sometimes the same day).
Of course most of the time there might only be 1 yard or maybe just a fq.
But I love that store. I also bought that "Iowa" pattern there as well.

As you can see there was a sheet of "bird" labels that are blank. I TRIED to
make the labels for you using the bird but they did not print out properly so
that is why you got three sheets of white and 1 sheet of blank.

The hoops are from my long ago days when I use to do cross stitch and
hand embroidery. For 20+ years I have been shuffling those blasted hoops
around and finally got tired of it so when I saw you did hand embroidery I
knew you would be the perfect person to give them too.

I hope you enjoy everything that I included in your box, but it was hard for
me to stop finding things to put in as I kept seeing all sorts of goodies I wanted
to keep adding.

Maybe next time it can add them.

ENJOY!!!

Louise

I didn't get home from Marty's until late last night and slept in but wanted to thank you for the package. I did get it last night and it was great! 600 ponys? I will have to share some of those for sure! I haven't heard of Bliss hot chocolate but I bet it's wonderful, I love chocolate! Speaking of that I just finished the snikers egg, yum! I make lists all the time so thanks for those and since I read all the time the bookmark will get put to good use. Where did you find the pen? I LOVE it! It feels good in your hand.The cat fabric will go in my qult for me I will make someday. Love the fabric, I have never seen the one with the fish hooks, cute! M & Ms what more do I need to say right? the hoops will be used as well, I find it relaxing to do hand embroidering while watching TV. Love the IOWA beautiful land pattern, where in the world do you find this stuff? Thank you for making the labels for me. I love everything yo sent and I know it was hard because of the RAK package, but you did good!! Thank you very much for the thought that went into my package. Lori
