Hi Anne, (Cookie) I too have been away for so long. I check back from time to time. I miss it . I too was a host for the Postcard swap. I dearly miss that little bit of happy in my mailbox month to month. If you ever think about hosting, I will definitely sign up. Although, mailing things has gotten a bit expensive. I can't imagine one little postcard out of budget. Sorry for your bad experience at the quilt store. That's really disappointing. And, Welcome back. I'm glad i saw your post.
