I received a marvelous package from Lauriejo today. First off let me pay tribute to her for the idea of asking for something local. Last year Lauriejo mentioned that she likes to ask for that, and liking the idea I started to do that too and have received some wonderful things and learned about friends areas because of this idea. That was a gift from Laurie before she ever had me as a sp. She read the info Lori sent and did some board snooping. Anyway she sent me a lapel pin(one of the things I collect) from Firestone where her father worked, and it has a set of rings at the bottom like the olympic rings (priceless to me), she pinned it to one of the Jinny Beyer fqs so it wouldn't get lost, fabric is beautiful, a little spiral notebook, a June Taylor pattern for a patch purse that includes the ruler, a mystery book by Jennie Bentley (new to me author) that looks very interesting with a home renovation twist-which might prove useful in that our home is 100 years old and is always needing something to be done; some extras-a tape measure, a seam ripper, a pack of replacement blades for rotary cutter, an octagon acrylic template, washable glue stick, 3 different hot chocolate packs, a dark chocolate Cadbury bar, a visitors guide for her area-and since we are both in Ohio there is a strong likelihood that I'll be in the area somethime, a lovely note. If I left anything out forgive me. Thank You!
