Yes I too forward something that some one sent me that I know I will never use. Like belfrybat if I remember who sent it to me then I give them the credit

And it's off. I've sent to this area before, although not to this person. For some reasons parcels take forever to get there, so you'll need to be patient

Krystyna - no - the floods haven't unearthed any fossils that I know of. There's been a lot of flooding in England too though Flood warnings are still in place.

Just put my prepaid box in my mailbox for pickup. Going north, Clue? Going to a place that sort of reminds me of Vin Diesel, the wrestler turned actor.

I too am doing good on getting my box organized. I have one other thing I would like to make and then my SP box can begin making its journey to a place a lot warmer than MN.

I have also done this. If I know that cannot use something I make sure to write the name of the person I received it from so it stays with the item so I can give credit where credit is due. Then when I feel it would be a good fit for someone I re-gift it. Also, books, magazines, and patterns get swapped back and forth all the time. In this case I do not mention the original giver as some time has usually passed, and I honestly do not remember who it originally came from.

My SP package is winging its way NE by three states (I think its three). It is going to someone who likes dogs, has the same brand sewing machine I do, and has an eclectic taste in fabrics. It should arrive on Thursday.

Just checking in. I have just a couple of things to finish and my package should be on it's way tomorrow. It hasn't helped that I hurt my back just after new years. I started sewing again day before yesterday. My back will only allow me to sew for about 30 minutes then I have to stop and get in a different position. It has taken me 3 days to complete a block for another swap. Hope you all have a happy day and keep warm!

Sunrise - sorry to hear of your back troubles. Go easy so you don't continue to injure it. (Speaking from experience here).

Sunrise, hope your back feels better soon and take it easy.

I was so excited that I would probably be mailing early, but as usual it will go out on the day. I just found out that I need to make an emergency 24 hour trip to NE and will be heading out directly from work instead of driving the 1+ hour home first. Because I live in MN and a distance from my work I keep a bag packed during the winter in my car so if the road conditions are bad I can stay at one of the hotels in the area, my work gets huge discounts at a couple of them in the area, and not spend 3+ hours on the road with all the other winter drivers and slow traffic.

However, SP do not fear, your package will be mailed by the deadline.
