Okay, Nancia, you should get a prize or something for such a creative mug rug. And, the fabrics you chose really make it all pop!

Would you consider doing a photo/text tutorial sometime? You are a terrific out-side-the-box creator!!!!

Your any-shape mug rugs are so creative. My favorite is the red/black/white!

Poor postie, look what he delivered to my door this morning

First photo: Thankyou so much LindaC for the gorgeous mug rugs, love them all and each one so different. Had to sit right down and read the magazine and spied the 'Crunchy Cheesecake' recipe towards the back..so guess what's for dessert this evening

Second photo: These are the beautiful mug rugs from nancia - we did our own little swap - I love the 'beach' theme and the mugs rugs are so cute - I especially love the fish one. And nancia also sent me a little 'Life's a Beach' tote, a ever so cute purse notepad and some tootsie rolls - I am becoming especially fond of those

What a fun swap this has been.
