It's been a while too since I've received any blocks ... I believe there's still 11 left to come home in the next month. Dad tells me everyday there's no blocks .

This is the worst part of the swap..nothing but junk in my mail box! I get so excited when we lst start and I get tons of envelopes to open and look at...then a little later when the babies start coming home...but the last month is always kind of boring with nothing in the mail!! 7 more to go to have all of mine. Scrapper, Tracibug, dottie Dodge, Cuppy April, Lovingrandma OK Darla, I think most have posted their updated status havent they?

Ok, I am away from home so I do not have my list in front of me but I know Gaijin is going home and two others. I have the blocks in the photo bucket but names have escaped me. (an Indian print and a butterfly print) Thanks for swapping, I will double check the names Friday.

I just found out there's something called an iTrader Rating Notification on this site, oh, my :-(

I could have been adding these the whole time for you all.

OK, next thing on my list for the next swap is don't forget to add ratings.

I received three in the mail Monday! Wonderful blocks made by Alikat110, Missgigglewings, and Urgodschild2 all arrived safely. Pictures are being updated right now.

It have been so much fun getting mail from everyone. It seems like all that is ever in the box are bills and flyers. But by being in this swap there has been something to look forward to! Thinking and talking to my youngest daughters (who are always jealous about my mail) and a friend led to an idea for a summer project. My daughters and the daughters of my friend are starting a post card project that will hopefully give them enjoyment all summer long. I am hoping to enlist help from dozens of online friends (or future friends), who would be willing to send a post card or two to the girls; postcards that would represents their state or a future vacation state or site. Are you taking a cruise or vacation this summer can you pick up two postcards and mail them out to them? With your help this summer will be so fun. The excitement of receiving the postcards in the mail will be priceless.

Let me know if you can help and I will send our addresses on to you.

Thanks so much

We have your address, what are their names? I would love to send them some post cards. Phannie

My girls are Abigail, 4 and Elinore, 7. Any postcards would be appreciated. It will be really fun to collect them and tie in a geography lesson as well...I'm thinking of getting a map poster and they can tag where they got post cards from. I was talking over this idea with a friend who also has daughters ages 2-11 that we are doing the project with. You all should have my address, but I can PM their address to you if you want to help in our projects.

Count me in Quiltingmommy! PM me your address and theirs. I will get my 8 year old granddaughter to help also! She and the other 2 8 year olds love getting mail from me so I surprise them quite often!

Has anyone been to Wal Mart lately and noticed them doing away with the 2 yard bolts of fabric they had hanging for sale? The one here in Boonville only has the fat quarter 97 cent fabrics left now...not that I ever bought any of their 2 yard bolts but its a shame they cant add more fabric, better fabric, instead of getting rid of what they had. The Wal Marts in Columbia have great fabric and two aisles of it!
