It's nice to know those old magazines would be acceptable. I have a file drawer jammed with them and another shelf jammed. There is a guy in our town who sells at flea markets and he knows I love the old quilt mags. He sells them to me for a dime a piece. So I have plenty to share! I never would have thought to include these. thanks for the idea!!

Hi SP swappers,

Got both packages out this afternoon. One is going to the midwest whose zip code totals up to "24" and the other one is heading to the East with a zip code that totals up to "19".

Hopefully, you should have your packages by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I sent my package off to the West Coast yesterday. If the US postal service carries through it should be there by Wednesday.

I have put together a variety of packages. Sometimes it just clicks and I can share things that I know I'm not going to use, so the package seems more generous. Sometimes I have to shop for more items, so the package seems smaller. I have also received packages with lots of items, and packages with just a few.

But the best part of all the packages isn't the things, it's the thoughtfulness and the desire to make someone else happy. It's like getting a hug in the mail.

I have to repeat what one person said a few pages back, looks like the 10.00 limit has gone out the door. My first SP swap and I struck to it and it's not looking anything like these piles. OH WELL..Hope my SP likes her few things.

She sent me a christmas panel and 4 coordinating fabrics in all of my favorite colors!, the cutest piece of material with quilt labels all over it,4 magazines, recipe cards,post it page markers,one of my favorite candies werthers and werthers chocolate carmels which I have never had But, Chocolate is my other favorite candy so I bet they are yummy!!! and a beautiful string angle!(I wonder if she made it herself?)Thank You so much SIK1010 I love everything. The panel will make an adorable wall hanging and I am going to love lookin through the magazines while enjoying the chocolates:)
I hope I posted on the right month please let me know if I got it wrong. I had lots of help unpacking the box. My helpers had to check it out and see if there was anything for them!
