Good idea Candi, I'll go shopping with you; want to meet half way?
But if you're stalking, can you take a break? Is Terryl still helping you?

Well, Sarah, we can leave Robyn in charge, she doesn't seem like she likes fabric shopping ( :mrgreen: ), and we can go.
Terryl, one of my LQS has a 25% sale on everything in stock until Monday, wanna come up? :D

Booo, I wanna go shopping too. See if you get any Milkways now...lol

Now, now, let's turn that frown upside down, I'm certain they have stores in Arizona that you can go to, and I just came up with an EXCELLENT (if I say so myself) idea, we could all go to the store of our choice at the same time and it would practically be like all shopping together!!! Let's choose a day and a time, who's in? I'll start by saying I can go tomorrow say after 1:00 PM eastern time, (so my car will/may be fixed) Candi what's a good time for you? Sarah are you on central time? Arizona girl is this too early for you?

Ok that's good for me. It will be 10am my time. Maybe I'll find something nice for next months swap.

Thanks, I'm in and ready! (So glad you agreed, yours was the 1st name on the list.)
:mrgreen:

I'm looking at all the wonderful packages and thinking I need to add to my "SP" box too--Thanks everybody for the great ideas and tips! :-P

Sure blame me. I don't know if he's going to buy it with me being in AZ. It will have to be a really good story...lol

Arizona, you know it's logical, we girls all gotta stick together and men know we do, so it's best for them to just accept that we were together and instigated all purchases the others made while we shopped "together"

You get free delivery confirmation if you print your postage from the usps.com website.

Also - there are now regional rates for priority flat rate boxes -

you can go to the usps.com enter your zip code and the destination zip code and it will give you the different rates :thumbup:

Priority mail and the 70 cents for delivery comfirmation. I'd love to know if there is a better(cheaper)way! I used the box that Lori said to use in an earlier post. My postal lady said I used the cheapest way....

Rec'd a wonderful package from Sunflower Girl...So many great items...straight pins, curved pins, gel pen, zippers, fabrics, cd of PP'ing, tea and homemade packet to hold them, pin with cute saying "Any day spent quilting is a good day"...who could disagree with that!
Postcard from her State of TX, Crochet Phmaplet with many patterns, Pattern Huron Maple Leaf...can't wait to make that. And if that's not enough she was so nice to think of Ms. Big (cat) and sent her treats...those aren't going to last long...she loves her treats...
Thank you SunFlower Girl...your a great Secret Pal...

My SP got her package today. I'm always relieved when they receive the package, always worry when it's been enroute for awhile.

I'll join anyone who's on the bench and I love popcorn. I'll bake some scones (if I can get the recipe I want) lol.

If I have to sit on the bench, I'm eating brownies! I think it is too early for the bench, so I guess I have to be good until then.
