RAK Thank You!
Thank you so much for the RAK I received from onaemtnest. She sent a lovely card and a tissue pack cover. I've been meaning to make some of those, but haven't gotten to it -- now I have one!
Thanks again! Kris |
And I want to thank a prior SP partner for the holiday card...thanks Cynthia Freeman

Thanks for starting this thread.
Lets try to keep it close to the top to make finding it easier. I have received a few RAK's lately that I want to give a shout out of thanks to. MSCupid804 for a VA coffee mug CajunQuilter2 for a LA coffee mug 1 mystery FQ that I have no clue who sent to me. |

I may sound dumb with this question but what is RAK?

Not a dumb question

Mary L. There was the cutest purse and a matching Pedicure set a calendar and a chart for cutting squares out of FQ's and a card along with the envelope she made herself... GodBless |

I was unaware that this thread existed as I was out of town and behind on the Swap thread. Thank-you for starting this thread Kris, it seems as though to me that it was needed! :0)
I received the most generous and thoughtful R.A.K. from mscupid804 AKA Teresa. This made me gasp as I've not seen this movie but now DH and I will be able to see it thanks to you Teresa. Thank-you for the movie and treats! This is what R.A.K. is all about IMHO is an unexpected 'gasp'/smile/day brightener.... Thank-you Louise for starting this wonderful action that we can participate in! [ATTACH=CONFIG]296909[/ATTACH] |
I am very happy that people have asked me (and continue to do so)
about what it is I like to do with my addresses I get when I receive in a swap. Saving the addresses so that at a later time I can randomly send the person a "surprise" RAK has always made ME smile just knowing that I sent something out to someone who is NOT expecting what they will be getting. Word seems to have "spread" and I have been receiving pm's asking me if I would add their name to my list and will share the list. The list has grown quite a bit over the last several weeks. I LOVE reading about someone getting a surprise in the form of a RAK on a particularly rough day and getting a smile because of it. Keep up the great work everyone. |

Louise, we don't really have to keep it at the top if ALL involved would "subscribe" to it, that way we can find it easy enough. Then if we post to it, it'll keep it at the top.:)
|

I've never seen mugs come with spoons, interesting......

I got a wonderful note before Christmas from my Dec. SS sustraley and a note of encouragement from another SP, soniboo, because I was so bogged down with making my Christmas gifts. RAKs from two great gals I've met through the QB. I think Quilters are the best! |
I am still trying to find my "mystery" sender of a pretty purple
FQ. Just a post it note saying "Have a nice day!" There was no name, the return address was mine, could not read the post mark for a clue that way either. Until they come forward I am at a loss as to WHO to give a proper "thanks" and acknowledgement to for the nice RAK. |
But isn't that what makes it random, Louise?
|
Welllllllll it COULD, but how do you properly thank them if you
do not know who did it? For me what makes it "random" is the not knowing if/when it might be you to get it.

Ah, good point!
|
some others may have a different understanding of random. i would think since the sender used your address as the return address they did not want you to know officially who sent it. also since you have mentioned it on the thank you thread, i am willing to guess that the sender has seen that you are ushering out a thank you and feel properly thanked.:) just my humble opinion (jmho).
|
I'm starting to put together my RAKs and won't be letting the recipient know who it's from. Just a note: "You've been RAK'd"
|
I want to thank Quiltymom for my RAK that I received. My son had it in his stack of mail so I did not get it till late yesterday evening although she had sent it and I got it a few days before Christmas. I can't take a picture right now as I can not find the charger for my camera and my phone camera I am having issues getting them transferred right now so a trip to the phone store is needed. But I did get the cutest ornament along with a really cute card. Thanks again quiltymom, it put a smile on my face. :)
|
Ok ladies, some raks will be going out this week will it be you? lol
|
RAK THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I received the cutest little "coaster" with a snowman on it today from Ladybug 1938. It is soooooo adorable. I was going to post a picture of it, but QB is not playing nice with my computer right now. Again THANK YOU Ladybug |
Many thanks to Ladybug from me, too! I got the same coaster and my hot chocolate is sitting on it right now!
Special thanks to my buddy Teresa who sent me the most delightful wine country calendar! I really, really, really needed a new one since the one in my office is still turned to June 2001! Thank you!!! |

krystyna thanks for my needle book, mag and bobbins. much appreciated.

I received and RAK from SEW BEAD IT. A lovely surprise with every piece of fabric something I will be using. You know, I keep reading on the threads, that somehow it seems that these RAK's come at just the right time for the recipients. This one came on a gloomy-can't-decide-if-it-wants-to-rain-or-snow day....wind blowing this was definitely the ray of sunshine missing in my day!
Thank-you Sew Bead It!!!!! |
Yesterday I received beautiful Our Lady of Guadalupe fabric from 3NorwichTerr aka Deby. How thoughtful! I love it.
