Let me backtrack a bit and show you what my SP Lori sent me for the March Swap but was late due to all kinds of illness on her part (which I'm very sorry she had to endure). I told her to let it go this time and just relax and take care of herself, but she insisted on sending anyway. Her spirit and determination has made me appreciate everything that much more. Thank you, Lori.
Everything in that box has been put to use already (especially the chocolate). The books are a good read and I will pass them on when I'm done. Her handmade item - a sewing machine organizer - was put to use in a slightly different manner...I have a small dog, AKA "Shredder" who can't seem to stay away from anything in his line of vision. He was constantly taking off with my notions from a little wheeled cart I keep by my machine. The organizer is now doing double duty as a quick-grab notions holder and security drape. Result: This battle won, dog has been foiled!
BTW - Little bear has been delivered to new baby -- thnx for thinking of her!
