Also thank you for the extra quilting postcards. I really like those too. I've always mean to look for some but never do or know where to get them. So thank you!

I believe it is way to early to know what the next theme is. I have not even got mine done yet.

Hi Nelda, I agree, it is to early to post the next months theme. But rather then be bomb barded with pm's and requests for the monthly theme, I posted a list on my blog. That way, whoever wants to be surprised, they can. And those who have to work ahead due to time constraints can. I really don't like working ahead. And, I'm the host. But, maybe if my job had me traveling or maybe a family medical emergency or even working through a depression episode would have me working ahead. Whatever keeps us sane, right?. Really, no biggie. You take your time and enjoy!

Pictures!? What did you get? It sounds interesting. Great postcard, by the way. It's so cheerful.

Such a fun swap, owlvamp, your card is so intricate, I so agree with JuneBillie. And Maxie, your technique with the alcohol and such is clever..........thanks for posting the method. I received a PM from Tumdarra that she did receive her card, ..................calla Great swap Judith thank you for your efforts.................Sue

Thanks for the list. I have a busy May so like the idea of a head start. Have a great weekend.

Thank you, Judith, I appreciate you making the year list available and I will be starting the May one soon as I too have a busy month coming up and with the postage time taking so long to get to the US I thought that if I am well organised I can post as soon as the swap names are released. I can see by previous months that once most of the swaps are received that is very little activity on the thread, so I am believing that the late ones more than likely get missed being seen by the group. I guess these days there are few surprises, but yet it still a surprise for the receiving swapper.

Posting some pics from the weekend celebration for my Mum's 90th. After such a long trip and baby sitting for the rest of the week, I think I am ready for a rest. Pictures taken of the decorated hall, Mum cutting her cake, Mum and us four sisters and 4 generations with my daughter & little boys. thanking Mum is keeping good health and is of sound mind. She had a pacemaker fitted 18 months ago and that has helped her heart.

Betty, mom looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Betty, thanks for sharing the pictures. the cake looks delicious and so pretty. Mom looks younger than 90! thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
