I do understand though! It seems to me that we spend a huge amount of time and thought on our packages that we send out so get nervous about their arrival.

However, we don' fret about what we get. As some else on here said, it is like Christmas when our packages arrive. I wonder if AA or GA have branches for Secret Swaps?? :lol: :lol:
I think there is a quilter's annonomus QA. We meet every wednesday evening and do quilting.Some call it a quilter's guild meeting. lol. How's the studing goin Tussy girl? Mary
Hi Mary, I am hard at it now, only stopped for a drink and a browse on here. Just another two days and I will be handing it in (I think). The house is in a mess, dust bunnies and rubbish everywhere, the dog has forgotten who I am and DH thinks that our relationship is now about him putting drinks and the odd bit of food in front of me from time to time. All my friends think I have emigrated. Frightened the heck out of the mail man the other day when he rang the bell. Hair stood on end through running fingers through it, pen marks like tattoos all over my hands - couldn't find anything else to write on and mismatched shoes. Can't think where I put the other blue one or even the other pink one....... Help! I really need help! :lol: :lol:

There is a package on the way to one of east coast "New" states to someone whose first name begins with a "P", likes dogs and cardinals, as well as colors purple and blue. Should be there tomorrow as I sent it priority. I am so sorry. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: I GOT IT!! IT IS FANTASTIC!! Will post picture later!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
OK This was definitely worth the wait!! Not that it was a long wait anyway!! I love the suspense!!!
Now let's see if I can remember to list everything FQ Stash Queen fit in this firmy!!!
First of all; my boys would never forgive me if I didnt say "Thank You (woof woof)" for the marvelous treats! They didnt make the picture :)! They have gotten spoiled. Now they think whenever the postman brings a box they get a treat!! LOL
Now to MY goodies:
A really neat certificate telling what my name means surrounded with a border of all breeds of dogs! I am a "noblewoman" :); 2 quilt magazines, a binding holder! (I love it!!) a quiltmaker cd with patterns and hints on it! a great book; My Dog's life (Chicken Soup for the Soul); fantastic choice!! A cute collectible magnet from the "as time goes by" collection, a beautiful teal light holder and tea lights, 5 spools of yellow, blue and lavender threads, a pkg of adorable Boston Terrier sticky notes, a great lint roller; needles, 5 beautiful "brights" fat quarters, 7 assorted pastel, blues, purples and yellow fat quarters; 6 - 12" squares of adorable frog fabric and a 1/2 yard blue blender to go with them; a totally awesome sunflower fabric with purple background and last but not least a very special Ty beanie babie "Bones"; he is sitting on top of the binding holder in the picture.
It is an awesome pkg Cheryl! Thank you so much!!!
Oops... and a very nice card and note that didn't make the pic!!

Hi Robin,

Have to share this with you. I see your post and I've hoping that you were my SP since you posted that your package was going to a hot desert. So any way I see your post and I see that it is after 3pm. On Saturday the mail usually comes by 11:30am. I have been home all day and haven't heard anything. I go out to the mailbox anyway and nothing. Now I'm sad. It's not me. 10 minutes later I hear the door bell. I'm running the house as fast as the pain in my body will let me, yelling I'm coming just in case it is mailman. Don't want him to leave me a pick up notice. I open the dory and the mail man is hoping into his truck and takes off. I look down and there is you package waiting for me. I'm going to go open your package and see what wonderful things you sent to me and will post pictures soon.

Thank you so much,

Robyn

I received the bestest package. My grandbabies oohhed and aahhed with me. The flovered coffee was snffingly pleasant. The cupcake book is ironic since I did 8 dozen for my grandsons birthday. The roosters are colorful and pefect. The little cupcake is yummy lip gloss. My grandaughter loved the angel and she thinks the dog treats are for her dog. I enjoyed the surprise after surprise. Thank-you sik1010

Crochetted top rooster towels, rooster buttons, chocolate fudge sauce

Here is what Chasing Hawk aka: Robin sent to me. First she made sure that my items were safely packaged using scrap fabric pieces which I love. I now have 4 granddaughter and am planning to make each of them a baby doll quilt. I think that I will use some it to make those. I also got 2 fat 8th's, 4 beautiful fat quarters. 2 spools of signature thread: burgundy and dusty mint. A plaque of a robin on it's nest. 2 spools of Lizbeth variegated crochet thread in springtime and turquoise twist. A crochet set with interchangeable heads. I was just looking at new ones last weekend. 2 adorable pincushions. 5 Oregon. postcards for my collection. An almond roca buttercrunch toffee. And she also sent me a dragon figurine. I can't wait to play with it all.

Thank you to my wonderful SP: Robin aka: Chasing Hawk,

Robyn

Once again a great package that seems to be tailored just for you. I'll have to remember the postcard idea since we travel for a living I can pick them up along the way in all the States we visit. Thanks for the idea.

I still have the first one that I bought when I lived in Georgia. I was 9 years old. That was a long time ago.
