Another candy package came yesterday. Thank you to TrishB! (The envelope was pretty mangled but it looks like the contents are all still there.)

Two more packages arrived from WMU Teach and Jarenie. Thank you ladies! (I'm still holding all the packages until my birthday.)

I received FOUR more birthday packages! jarenie, bullock2us, WMUTeach, and jannie!! Two sent an extra fat quarter with the candy. What a fun surprise. I love them.

That makes my count 22/35 Birthday Candies Received. I know there's one for sure we stopped hearing from, she's just still on my list.

Wow... that's still a lot of people who haven't sent to you... about 1/3 of our people. Come on, ladies... FINISH STRONG! Sheri's birthday was 10 days ago.

Sheri, be sure to tell Barb who's MIA, in case they are signing up for next year.

I sent out the candy for Janice, that is my last birthday candy for last year. Now to prepare for the next year's candy.

Have a great birthday and birthday month and happy sewing and quilting.

I mailed my Feb. candies yesterday. Sheri, sorry it's late. I've been in St. Louis helping my mother pack to move out of a house she has been in for 62 years. It's overwhelming the amount of stuf she has. She is definately a pack rat. We haven't even touched the 2 bedrooms upstair where her sewing machines are.

This has been a great swap. I looked forward to each month but I think I'll have to sit out next year. I have so many projects to catch up on and finish. I'll keep watching the swap. I feel like I've made lots of new friends. Thanks to all that played.

benndm and all those who are not rejoining us for next year... please stop in and say hello from time to time. Tell us what you are doing and definitely show us if you make anything from your candies! Maybe you would like to jump back in the following year... Come back to visit!

Got one more! Thank you to GrannieRosie. We've got 35 in the group, including pjjandme who went missing, and I've gotten 21 of 34 and my birthday is about a week away! Barb, I'll pm the full list of rec'd pkgs on my birthday. Thanks!

I received one more Candy Card yesterday! It was from Karen G....but...I had also received one from her on my birthday, Feb. 3. I checked and yes, Karen, you sent me two cards. I can return one, or check you off for next year

I am also counting off DoriDes, my sister(I know where your stash is!), and mrs.sherbert, my daughter, whose last packages I've sent out for her...

So, if my list is right I only have 9 I have not received from, mrshalibut, oneteapot, pjjandme, BillieJean, Quilter day_by_day, , grannyrosie, benndm, havplenty, and nursebonnie.

Hello ladies...I hope you all had a nice Valentines Day.

It is my husbands birthday and we had a big party for his 60th birthday. It was a surprise party and he was truly surprised. So surprised that he left in the morning to go and pick up a friend to come over for lunch and they stayed out for 2 hours passed when I expected him. Guess the surprise was on me!

I thought I gave it away when he went out to shovel snow and came in the house and said he was going to get his friend and would come back and take a shower. I told him no you need to do that now. (he knew his parents and our kids were coming over for lunch). Nope I guess he just knows I'm bossy!

Benndm.. you are a good daughter to help out your mom with such a big job! Good luck and come stop by the new thread and say hi!

The new swap sign up will be ending soon. I plan on ending sign up around the 20th of February. Right now our first birthday is not until March 29th.
