I'M HOME, Finally!!!
I just opened my box and I have to say "Thank You" to Grann of 6 for a lovely box of goodies....First of all it is a fabulous looking box...and there is a table runner, some just lovely fat quarters, an embroidered towel...a dish cloth that she made...pins and glue baste!
BTW, I'm going to get Tink's nose checked...she told me that this box came from a dog free house. We were chatting about this on this thread, and I talked with Grann about it couldn't be from her...cuz Tink told me she didn't smell Gus and Heidi.
Thank you again Grann...I will post pics in the morning...too tired from the craft show to look for the camera.

I'm glad everyone is having/had a great time with this. This is a lot of fun and it's the ONLY swap I do. It's alot of fun for me because I get to tease all of you with you is sending to you. hehe
BUT...ya'll get to tease me by sending me coal! lmao
I do appreciate the package, the bag is gorgeous, Leota did a great job on it and the fabric,,,O M G ! ! B E A U T I F U L ! !
Ya'll outdid yourselves!
now, start shopping for next year. Last year I had, I think 245 people, this year was 202. Lets see if we can hit 300 for next year! (I must be insane suggesting this)
If ya'll start shopping now, you can get some good sales, then start your SS package(s) and then all you will have to do is include the fat quarters.
Everyone can use pins & needles, notions, patterns and the like. Maybe you'll find a cute ornament on sale and can get that and tuck it away for safe keeping.

I just got home and wanted to say thank you to my secret santa, ljs317 for the wonderful gifts. She sent me a teapot, some handbag kits, a pattern, LOTS of pretty fabric, and some other small goodies. Thank you very much. Now, I have 30 pages to catch up on!

Had to work today so just got home and could hardly contain my self - I was like a little kid in a candy shop. I received a wonderful package from my Secret Santa BrushandThimble. She was very thoughtful and generous. There was fabric and footies (cute pink socks), black and white fabrics to die for, a large package of charm fabrics that were already prewashed AND starched. A great book on needlecraft terms, a puzzle book and patterns. Brushand Thimble - Thank you very much - it was an awesome package =) Koko
