I'm in this month too!
I am only in this swap and the monthly block swap as I too have way too many mug rugs etc. Don't get me wrong~I love LOVE them all, but unfortunately, storage space is very very limited at my little Zoo Shanty.
I was blessed to receive a mug rug from Linda made with strawberry fabric. She said in her note that she loved Strawberries and could remember the sweet smell from the Strawberry fields from her time in California. I just loved Linda. She helped me go through a rough patch in dealing with my mom's nastiness (she lives with us.) She said, "Girl, there are just some people you can't make happy, no matter what. Don't buy into her meanness, just do your best, be happy with you and keep on smiling. You are a Great Gal and no one can tell me any different."
