How do you score such treats?
I would hate to be the sender and have just a couple little items because of that...any ideas would be greatly appreciated so I wouldn't shortchange anyone.
Thanks
Like everyone else, some of my package comes from my stash and I try to make something small...Our Michaels and Joann's have one and two dollar bins in their stores with all kinds of neat stuff in them like pens/pencils, tablets, journals, buttons, beads, emery boards...just all kinds of neat stuff that you can put in your package...If I buy myself a quilt magazine, when I'm finished looking at it, I pass it on with a swap...you can find people here on the board selling great patterns for a few dollars and send them in your swap....your stash doesn't have to be just fabric...notions you don't use or need, patterns, magazines, etc. It's a lot of fun and like alot of other people I love getting something handmade....we're always so busy making things for other people, it's nice to get something made for us...and it's all fun
