I will probably use coconut oil when I make the biscotchitos but I will look out for the schmaltz and use that if I find it. and Mizmelly I will join you and watch the opening too without one to open, but when it does arrive I will post pictures. At least mine reached its destination so I'll know then if it arrived in tact. hope so

MizMelly so sorry to hear you have not received your ornament yet. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow, if not just PM me and I will make it all right.

Opening day is tomorrow. Is everyone excited?

Just so everyone knows I am away in WI at a quilting retreat. I have very limited internet access so will pop in when/if I can. I have my ornament in its special little box with me so I can open with everyone else.

Good morning swappers! Even though I am not the hostess, I found this nifty site on line to help anyone having trouble with the time conversion for our 2 pm swap central time. You just use the converter to put in the zone you are in and the central zone in and it will give you the right time for the ornament swap party.

Have fun and show and tell with us please. Thanks so much to our fabulous hostess ankoa quilter. We so appreciate you.

Do I have someone else's because I know I haven't been that good to receive two? Well maybe...

If it was meant to be 'thank you'. I love tree ornaments. If not, I am okay getting it to it's rightful home. It should make it for Christmas Day. Let me know.

I was your swap angel. Anoka Quilter asked me to make a package for you because I assume she wasn't getting any response from your original partner. Then lo and behold, her package arrived the day before opening day.

Just ask Anoka Quilter what she wants you to do with the extra package. Some people (m-fay and MizMelly) received nothing, so she may ask you to send one of your packages on to one of them.

Merry Christmas!
