For those making the snap bags -- I was at the San Antonio quilt show this weekend and stopped by Dollar Tree on my way home. I found a 16' tape measure that is 5/8" wide for $1.00. I can't believe the extra 1/8th would make a difference, and $1.00 is my kind of price. I need to find a pattern on the internet for these -- I know I saw one a while back. Think I'll make them for a quilt retreat I am going to in a couple of weeks where we are supposed to bring a couple of gifts.
What I will do is pull the whole tape out of the holder and cut it off, so I won't lose the tail back into the housing.

This is a picture of the package I sent to Marcialee that was delivered last Friday or Saturday.
She asked for an applique wall hanging, but I don't do applique so I sent her a book on applique wall hangings instead -- along with template plastic, another pattern, marking pencil, a bunch of red fabric, a stiletto, potholder (or mug rug), sewing kit, candy notes, hand made soap, and a reusable shopping bag.

Belfrybat, both the Snap Happy! and the Snap Happy II patterns are available at: www.amazon.com At least they're the least expensive I've found.

Well "tomorrows" have come and gone and still no package. The mailman must think Ive got dementia or something and thinking I dont know what I'm talking about. Maybe I will make my own secret pal package and mail it to myself. Lol...maybe thats not a good idea after all. I'm sure he thinks I'm nuts but if I mail my own package to myself..that would just confirm his suspicions. Lol
