My cards went out in the mail today. Should reach everyone with plenty of time. This is the latest I have mailed in the 5 years I have done this swap. I got so involved in house hunting in Arkansas time flew by.

Sewbiz,don't fret about it. I know it is going to show up. It may be in bits and pieces, lol, but either you or I will end up with it. I suspect mangling of the envelope in Jackson occurred. Somebody was sure surprised if little fabric squares were raining down in the machine.

Whoopie! I'm feeling much better, the sadness has lifted a great deal. It helps that the kids will be here for Thanksgiving.
Good on ya WUTeach for the top completion. Way to go.
I'm really excited! I'm reclaiming my house. The last of Mom's stuff is leaving next weekend. I seem to have a scrapbooking room and the sewing room is almost there. We painted both rooms, still haven't done much to the mural wall. And another table is coming here tonight. It's one of those, here's the wood, you play Lincoln Logs now, Ikea. It's got an extention to make it 6' which is perfect for the space. My butcherblock work bench is up and my sewing machines going there. I tried one of the plastic folding tables but it moves and bounces too much. Hopefully I'll be able to unpack all my fabric and organize it into the massive closet... then away we go. Used to be I could pack, move, unpack myself and my child in a weekend. The good old days of high energy and fortitude. Hey, I'm old but I ain't dead yet.
Have a great weekend.

Since I last wrote, five more envelopes have arrived including yours, Sewbizgirl! Ripped a bit and the bar code marked out so it obviously has been on some kind of journey. Nothing wrong with the address you wrote but it looks like it may have gone to 39847 zip code first.... wherever that may be if it exists at all. But it is here and intact! Thank you!

So happy the candies to Ibex have been delivered! That was about 3 weeks in transit, but it sounds like the envelope got stuck behind the sorting machine or something... It's always good to mail early.
