    I rec'd my package today from Aunt59!
    The package was torn open so I hope it was all intact.
    A lovely note card, a needle keeper, magnets, a mug rug, hand cream, a FQ, a mini magnifying light(what you trying to say?..heheh) and a piece of blue & green fabric!
    Thank you so much...what a fun package..I was going save until my birthday on Sunday, but since it was torn open I thought I better check it out now....

    It is and you should jump in and then you can share the hunting, shopping and the wondering who is your SP and watching for the mail man. Wow, what else could we do with the time? Quilt a bit maybe? :lol:

When I leave she runs to her mailbox, opens it up, and then yells cus words at me as I walk away! Well today as soon as I stepped onto her porch I saw her peering through a gap in the curtains. She flung the door open, grabbed my mailbag, rummaged through it, screamed NO!!!, and then threw herself down crying and beating her fists on the ground! I told you those quilters are a strange bunch!"........

    LOL :)
    too funy....but true
    :thumbup: :thumbup: Sew funny. Thread in her hair. lol

    Nol I don't and I can't remember where I left my rotary cutter! No bushes either, only a very tall hedge.
    :XD:

    My package was mailed today and it is on its way to a BIG piece of fruit. Hopefully it should be there in a couple of days. Sure hope she/he likes the package.

    As you know, I am the late sender offender this month :( I have now been shopping and nearly filled my squishy and with a bit of luck it will be in the post tomorrow.

    It can take some time to cross the pond to you dear, patient SP. Just been on the internet researching where you live and it is up in the general area of the Great Lakes and you have a lot of interesting museums where you are.

    Hope that it will be worth the wait!

    I think because if you put fabric in an envelope it is squishy the package will be squishable.
    Okay, thank you..:)
    She's right. squishies are soft packages that you can squish and firmies are boxes not squeezable. Cute huh? Don't know who started calling them that but we all seem to have picked up the names. Mary
    Squishies and firmies...have to remember that...thankyou..:)
