My sp likes the same colors that I do. She collects small items. That's enough for now.

(It will not be jelly...never made that in my life!) I am much older than my sp but that is not saying a lot. I suspect I am older than most of or all of you... That is it for the clues!!!

Oh, could this possibly be me?? My zip adds up to 12 and I did ask for something handmade. But this is my third swap....am I still considered a newbie?

My SP has been quilting for many years. She lives south of me and the total of her zip code equals 13. We have a LOT in common, and her favorite candy is also mine! :-) No more clues for now......

Man, oh,man. I think I want to get my package out and open it and find more to go into it. I put some things in (SP likes patterns, there is one), she likes specific colors (there are some FQs there) and some smaller handmade things - but after reading this thread, perhaps I need to add more. I was trying hard to stay within that $10 limit - maybe I need to fudge on it a little. Hummmmm.....

but if you should need a second opinion, i am here to help.

OK, y'all ready to hear this? Those of you who know me well, know that I collect buttons......well, I actually had to go out and but some buttons today to put on a project I am doing for my SP! How crazy is that?!

So keep those buttons coming because I obviously didn't have the ones I needed today!
